WPB Stops All
Parkway Work
Last Construction Project On
Blue Ridge Was Shut
December |

The War Production board Fri
day ordered work stopped i'm
mediately on the Blue Ridge
Parkway in Tennessee, Alabama
and Mississippi, according to an
Associated Press dispatch from
Washington.
This will have no effect on the
present status of the Blue Ridge
Parkway in North Carolina since
the last job on the parkway in
this safeguarding work between
Soco Gap and Ravensford-was
shut down December l for the
duration. This work was being
done by w. H. Anderson, con-
tractor.
The only other section of the
Parkway on which work was
done in North Carolina this year
was between Craggy Gardens and
Beech Gap and that was stopped
for the duration eight or ten
months ago.
The stop-work order merely
stated that it was issued IN line
with WPB's policy of conserving
materials and construction mach
merry for war production.
