The Hotel Darwin in Grenada, ac-
cording to w. P. Taylor. director
from Durant.
Chairman A. B. Friend of Sardis
said, "If the state of Mississippi
should receive her just share of ira
vel trade. revenue from that source
would exceed the annual revenue re-
ceived from her cotton crops"
Continuing, Mr.. Friend said, "The
Memphis-Jackson Highway 81 Com
mittee has achieved remarkable re-
suits through it's well-planned pub
licity program, but we are not sat
isfied, for we know that the section
in which we live is rich in tradition,
colorful in historical background and
possesses scenic values unsurpassed,
therefore, we weel that with the pro-
per cooperation and effort this sec
ton is destined to become one of
the outstanding travel sections Of
America"
D. B. Boston, director from Win
ona, expresses complete satisfaction
with the program and said, Travel
flow along U. S. Highway No. 81 for
the past twelve months has increas-
ed tremendously, which means that
revenues from that source has in
creased proportionally; therefore,
every business man along the entire
route should consider it privilege
to contribute financially to the pub
licity program that is largely re-
sponsible for the increase in bust
ness that is being enjoyed

Jack Dunlap, director from Bates

passage of Senate Bill No. 1923, 10
troduced by Senator Bilbo of Mis-
sissippi and providing for the con-
struction and reconstruction of u
four-lane highway over routes num-
bered 66 and 81 from Chicago to
New Orleans, look very favorable
indeed, but in order to effecutuate
its passage, we must continue to lend
every aid to the newly organized
Lakes to Gulf Highway 81 Associa-
ton, of which Mr.. A. B. Friend is
president and Mr.. J. o. Hollis is ex-
ecutive vice-president. A four-lane
highway along highway No. 81 will
increase travel revenues approxi-
matcly fifty per cent, therefore, all

come to this region. II and when the

w. S. Owens, director from Pick

thing in my power to help promote a
four-lane thoroughfare along high
way 81 and I am in complete accord
with the sentiment expressed by Mr..
Dunlap"
H. L. Honeycutt, director from
Grenada, said, "A four-lane highway
will automatically direct travel from
other routes to Highway 81, there
fore, with a we'll organized publicity
program the world will soon realize
the many scenic attractions this
state offers"
w. d. Trewolla, Secretary-Treas,
