sketches some of the outstanding
historical points in cities and towns
which it is the policy of the COM
mission not to mark. Completely
cross oss-indexed, the booklet permits
the highway traveller to locate an
historical point by the route num-
ber on which he is travelling, by the
subject in which he is interested or
by the coded letters and figures that
plainly top each sign.
For instance, suppose the motor
ist starts southwark from Washing
ton on United States Route l. First
marker on the roadside is E-70,
titled Colonial Fort" and located,
a footnote reveals, at the southern
entrance of Alexandria.
Here on Hunting Greek, Gov.
Berkeley in 1876 built fort for
defense against the Susquehannock
Indians in the troubles that led to
Bacon's Rebellion"

Old Songs 10 Echo
Through Mountains
AT Music Festival
Square Dance Teams
To Vie in AnnuuI
Fete at AsheviIIe

ASHEVILLE, N. c.. July 19.-
Songs sung centuries ago once
again will echo through the noun
tains of western North Carolina
when Asheville holds its 14th annual
Mountain Dance and Music Festival
July "a, Is and 26. More than 500
mountaineers ballad singers,
dancers and musicians will take
part in the celebration which each
year attracts thousands of specta-
tors.
Several of the older tunes, favor
ties since the festival started, may
have a new significance to the 1941
audience. For instance, there is
Uncle Nat Marlers version of the
ancient ballad Butcher Boy" with
the line Il wish I lived in London
town where cannon balls fly swiftly
round" And when Samantha
Bumgardner strums her five
strlnged banjo, pats her foot and
bursts forth with The Last Gold
Dollars Gone" it may remind some
of the erStWhile gold standard. The
fact is, however, that SamanthaS
song concerns a certain honey
babe of many years ago, who ap-
parently was the great grandmother
of today's gold digger" She may
have been the one immortalized
favorite, Il got a gal in Doggett's
Gap; she don't mind sittin' on her
sweetheart's lap
Again this year there will be a
battle between "Fiddlin' Bill" Hens
ley and Ozzie Helton for the fiddling
championship. Neither was salts
fed last year when the judges called
it a draw and named them CO.
champions.
Probably the keenest competition
will be between the dozen or more
large, well trained square dance
teams which will give their skillful
interpretations of the Grapevine
Twist, Bird in the Cage" "Shoofly
Swing" Georgia Rangtang" and
scores of others. Each of these Or
ganizations has its own orchestra
and each has been in training for
months. The Soco Gap team, which
performed before King George and
Queen Elizabeth at the White
House, and the Pidgeon Valley team
are among the better known but
there are no odds-on fayorites in
this competition.
The performers range in age
about II to go years. Jimmy Cooper,
13-year-old clog dancer and member
of the Cherokee junior square dance
team, will be back this year but his
favOrite dancing partner, his grand
father, died since the last festival.
Jimmy's father, Arnold Cooper, will
be back, also, as caller for the Great
Smoky Mountain team. There was
some talk that he would take his
own fathers place as partner with
his son, but Jinlmy's not sure he
can make the grade.

At intersections with United
States or principal Virginia routes,
the booklet handily refers to pages
on which may be found the sequence
of a new series of markers.
Suppose the traveller has heard Of
Jack Jouett's ride and wishes to
visit the vicinity. Under the alpha
betical index of markers by titles,
the traveller can turn to the page
that tells of the event, which be-
gan at Cuckoo, in Louisa County, en-
what is now U. S. 33. The marker
reads:
"Jack JOuett's Ride"
From the tavern that stood here,
Jack Jouett rode to Charlottesville,
by the Old Mountain Road, in time
to warn the members of the Virginia
Government of the coming of Tarle-

for-person basis, authorized sources
declared today in commenting on a
hitch in repatriation negotiations
A German radio message directed
last night to the British government,
these sources said, had in no way
prejudiced continuation of the
negotiations.
Asked whether Britain's refusal
to let the Germans depart from
Newhaven meant that negotiations
had been broken off, the same
sources said
so long as We don't get official
notification from the United States
Embassy that negotiations are ended
we look upon everything now being
said in the British radio and press
on this subject as propaganda
matter.
AS for ourselves we decline to
make the exchange of heavily
wounded and the internationally
recognized humanitarian act of re-
turning women and children to each

ganda. 1t is a scandal TO do so
