VHuiyai0 Has Little
Hope of Beginning
Parkway by 1886
North Carolina Ready to Have Con
structiOn Started on First
12-MiIe Lap

The National Park Service has lit
tie hope of starting construction on
the Scenic Parkway, as applies to the
State of Virginia, before the spring
of 1886, it was indicated in dispatches
coming from Washington Tuesday.
Assistant Director Towlson said at
that time, however, that construction
on the first North Carolina segment
of the Parkway was expected to start
soon. He said Virginia State Highway
Commissioner Henry Shirley was
working on the necessary rights-of-
way in Virginia, but at the present
indications are that clear title to suf-
ficient land for the drive in Virginia
would not be available for construc-
ton until next spring.
On the other hand, Tolson said, the
Park Service and the Bureau if Public
Roads ID ready to have construction
started on the first section in North
Carolina-a twelve and a half mile
stretch south from the Virginia line
to Roaring Gap, N. c."
Three Crews Working
Three location crews of the Bureau
of Public Roads are working in the
State, centered at Sparta, Newland
and Boone. The location work has
been completed from the Virginia
line past Deep Gap, whence it is COM
ing on to Blowing Rock. Here the
Parkway ties into the Yonahlossee
Road, approximately at its beginning
by the postoffice and filling stations.
The Parkway will leave the Yonahlos-
see Trail, U. S. 221, fifteen miles out
at Grandmother Gap. Here the loca-
ton crew from Newland is at work,
determining the line into the Smokes
by way of Newfound Gap.
Work at Deep Gap
G. D. Cockey, CHEZ of the location
work in North Carolina, has his head
quarters at Boone with a crew of
twenty men under r. G. Danley work.
ing along the right. Of way on the,
crest of the Blue Ridge from Deep
Gap towards Blowing Rock. The 9TH
er crews are in charge of T. B. Jeter
at Newland and H.. M. Hancock at
Sparta. Mr.. Cockey expects his crew
to be at Boone three or four months,
completing the tie-up with the Yon-
ahlossee Road. The thick under
growth on the crest of the ridge near
Deep Gap has impeded their progress,
and they are averaging only a mile or
two a week.
Construction Soon
The present work is the last step
before actual construction. The engi-
neers, following the work of the flag
men who were through here several
months ago and the pea-line crew
which cuts trail, are leveling and
marking the right-of-way road for
the construction engineers and con-
tractors to break the ground.
Where the Parkway crosses Deep
Gap, ten miles from Boone on u. S.
421 to North ,Wilkesboro, there is a
superb veiw Of the foothills which
continues all along the right-of-way
for the fifteen miles into Blowing
Rock. Thus, Blowing Rock will have
two magnificent scenic stretches of
the Parkway on either approach,
from Linville to the west and from
Deep Gap to the east.

FROM OBSCURITY TO FAME

The sudden and tragic death of
Will Rogers and Wiley Post in Alas
ka last week and the sadness that
the accident brought to the United
States and foreign countries causes
us to pause long enough to consider
who these men were and how they
happened to be we'll known and be-
loved over such large part of the
world.
AS one man said after listening to
a program of tributes paid to Rogers
and Post over radio and reading
further tributes from the leading men
in the United States as printed in the
daily papers: II knew that they were
pretty big men, but I had no idea
they were that big"
Post, a poor man, died striving to
reach still higher goals in the world
of aviation than he had yet gained
although he was counted with those
at the top, and although his death Will
be loss to the nation, others of dar-
ing and ambition can fill in and carry
on. It is with the death of Will
Rogers that we lose a man whose
place cannot be filled. The wit and
wisdom of his plain American phi
losophy was a God-given gift that
cannot be learned, or developed.
Both Rodgers and Post were ma
tives of the state of Oklahoma and
were born in very plain poor homes
Rogers, with Cherokee Indian blood
in his veins, was born on Indian terri.
tory, and Post on farm. Rogers
Joined a wild west show and from that
made his way up in the world until

stages, radio program, and the NOV

The Parkway will shorten the ap-
proach to Blowing Rock from Green's
boro and Winston-Salem by five
miles, as most tourists will take the
fifteen-mile stretch of the Parkway
from Deep Gap direct to the resort,
instead of going through Boone. It
will make the approach from Char
lotte almost as close by North
Wilkesboro as by Lenoir.
Most Scenic Highway
The Southern Appalachian Park
way, say the engineers who are
marking the route, will be scenic
enough for anyone, opening up hith-
erto unedveloped country to view.
The right-of-way, which averages 800
feet with further easements at espe-
cially scenic points, prohibits the hot
dog stand and billboard nuisance and
no roads, other than those already in
use, will be allowed to enter the
Parkway. The new highway will cross
between the State line and Blowing
Rock U. S. Fl from Elkin to Sparta,
N. c.; Is and 10, from North Wilkes
boro to Sparta and to Jefferson, and
U. S. 421 from the east to Boone. The
Deep Gap-Blowing Rock link is the
fourth in North Carolina, the first
three being from the State line to
Buphead mountain between Sparta
and Roaring Gap, thence to Little
Grandfather Mountain near Glendale
Springs, thence to Deep Gap.
