Post:
Editor of The Daily News:-A
Blue Ridge parkway is becoming a
reality. Much has already been writ
ten about the parkway, and much
more is to come. 1t might not be the
biggest news break of the year, but
as an important business proposition
with unlimited possibilities it is de-
Istined to take first rank, if the pre-
dictions of the man in overalls on
the hillside can be taken as a pro-
phecy about to be fulfilled. He speaks
of it as something mighty big pro-
jected into the quiet of these noun
tain tops. With a CLEAN of light on
face somewhat hardened by the
stern realities of existence in these
parts, he will tell you that million
people will soon be pouring into
North Carolina over this parkway.
He may be little optimistic, due to
his long restricted environment, but
the thing certainly has the fascina-
ton of unseen things just ahead.
This scenic highway is built on top
of the Blue Ridge, and you have to
look up to and not down upon the
roadway. You can be within a few
feet of the embankment and not be
able to see the cars go by. You hear
a roar half mile away, as if an air.
plane was approaching. In a few
seconds car has sped by unseen,
leaving behind it cloud of dust, to
annoy the nearby housewives down
the mountain sides.
The Blue Ridge mountain that we
see north of Wilkesboro has no other
side. The other side is the beginning
of plateau about 80 miles wide up
on which is located the beautiful
plains of Ashe county, with Jefferson
as the county seat, and West Jeffer-
son two miles away, where the NJ
and w. railway has a station, the
railroad running to Abingdon, Va,
some so miles away. The new park
way is being built along the brow of
these blue hills, the mean elevation
at this point Glendale Springs) as
we'll as Of the entire plateau being
about 5000 feet and above.
At the present time the work on
the highway running east from
Glendale Springs has advanced to
such stage that cars can go six or
seven miles over a well-graded dirt
road toward Laurel Springs, which
is the home of our well known con-
gressional Representative Doughton,
when he is not living in North

well as the local people talk about
the foreigner who is to travel over
this road at some future date, and
you should see the cars go by now
on Sunday carrying North Carolina
people who come to see this national
wonder-to-be, a Blue Ridge park
way, 80 feet wide, with an easy
grade, 200 miles long, in North Caro-
lima. A gas station operator down at
Wilkesboro told me that he was
"just bound" to see that new park
way as soon as cars could get on it.
Yes, the people of North Carolina
are coming to see this parkway, and
it may be that million a year will

TAKING snapshots of people when
= they are not aware that they are
about to be "shot," thereby catching
them with natural expressions and
in imposed positions, is often called
"candid" photography, but we of The
Snapshot Guild like the words 'toff
guard" photography as more truly
descriptive.
Candid implies there is that
kind Of expression on the face OF the
subject and it may not always be
there, but there is no doubt that for
d natural expression he must be 'off
guard" at the moment the picture is
made, which is also just what the
professional photographer waits to
capture in making a studio portrait.
"Off-guard" photography is lots of
fun, but there are important points
about it that need to be observed to
get satisfying results. You can't
"shoot" thoughtlessly without re-
gard to the direction and strength
of the light, nor can you forget that
exposure and focus are just as i'm
portant as for a premeditated pose.
Nor should you overlook back
