The state road department sur
veys for the Overseas bridges on
the highway from Key West to
Miami will commence within the
next few days. The surveys will
cover period of possibly six
months and an expenditure of
approximately $4,000. This is
the opinion of Engineer w. A.
Kratzert, who will be in charge
of the work and who is here with
Engineer E. S. Fraser, making the
necessary preparation for the sur
vey and arrangements to start.
Creosoted lumber will probably
be recommended for the work of
constructing the long bridges, Mr.
Kratzert believes. Structures so
built would be good for Is years.
and would cost from one-third to
one-fourth less than bridges built
of any other worthwhile material.
Inspection is said to have been
shown that concrete will not be
good for bridges in salt water.

A BIG DRAWING CARD

When the great scenic Parkway is completed,
thousands of tourists will pass through Ashe
county each year, admiring our beautiful seen
cry and looking for places of unusual interest.
If we do not provide something that is differ
ent and peculiarly fascinating, most of them are
apt to drive right on through the county and
stop at those places that are offering exception
al attractions
Because of it's phenomenal appeal, each year
increasingly large numbers of motorists drive
hundreds of miles to see the Natural Bridge of
Virginia and the various caverns.
Right here at the Jeffersons, only nine miles
from the Parkway, we have phenomenal at
traction. Niger mountain rises to height of
nearly 1000 feet and at the top it is said to be
about 1000 above sea level
We have already spent approximately $13,-
900 grading road up this virtually uninhabit-
able mountain, but unless we have the road
gravel-treated this expenditure will be more or
less worthless.
The road up the mountain is about three miles
long and local WPA officials estimate that it
would only cost around $4,000 to gravel-treat it.
They state that the State Highway Department
will be willing to surface treat the highway
leading out to this road. q
Surfacing this road might be worth many
thousands of dollars to the Jeffersons and Ashe
county. Let's get busy and see what can be
done about it. Such an attraction will be a big
drawing card.

"A report Of the Gastonia speech will appear

the future He then added, I was highly
pleased with the result of my conference with
the President. He possesses an amazingly COM
prehensive knowledge of conditions through
out the entire country, and it is my personal
opinion in that he is collecting information from
all sections with view to organizing the fore
es of the country and the government to Crap
pie with the prevailing economic and social
conditions in spirit of cooperative effort that
will spell the defeat of the depression"

FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW

Those of us who are unduly depressed as we
view the political state of the world today may
merely have lost our perspective. It is, at any
rate, both consoling and stimulating to read
the latest prophecy of that prince of prophets,
H. G. Wells. Like the rest of us, he has no crys-
tai into which he gazes, but few men can COM
pare with him in his amazing combination of
perspective imagination and range of aware
ness.
THE common man of today" he declares, "is
healthier, better informed, better fed, lit, cloth
ed, housed, with greater power of movement
and leading fuller and more interesting life
than the common man of 1885," Life in 1885,
he infers, judging from tendencies in the last
half century, will be less cellular than ours
more open, with the school-centered communi-
ty replacing the household as the social unit
Our descendants will be more free, candid
agreeable and healthy than we are; their
streets, roads, gardens, architecture and cloth
ing will reflect this openness and freedom; and
their houses and clothes, particularly, will be
revolutionized by the new materials which sci
ence is just now beginning to develop.
The outlook, of course, is based on Mr. Wells
assumption, unfortunately not beyond quest
ton, the political dictatorship-with it's accom-
panying suppression of freedom of thought and
inquiry-is not likely to reach the point where
it will prevent scientific progress.-New York
Times

Miles Believes
CCC Will Become
Permanent Plan

Raleigh.-Rufus E. Miles, Jr., OF
the United States Department OF
Labor, told meeting of field So
cial work representatives of the
State Board of Charities and Public
Welfare that, in his opinion, 1.-THE
Civilian Conservation Corps pro
gram is quite likely to become a
permanent part of our national
life" President Roosevelt, he. said
'has, in fact, recommended perraas
hence for the CCC."
Citing the benefits that have been
derived from the CCC program in
North Carolina, Miles said that al
most $1O,OOO,00O in the form allot.
ments has been sent home by CCC
boys in this state during the last
four and one-half years.
There now are around 1000
young men enrolled in North Caro-
lima CCC camps, Miles said.
Miles said many mental and phys
ical advantages were available tc
those members of CCC camps who
availed themselves of the opportun-
tiles offered. He told of one instance
where a young man entered camp
weighing only 119 pounds, but who
gained So pounds during his period
of enrolment.
The meeting of the filed represen-
tatives will continue through Fri
day of this week.
