ton of about 80 miles between
Asheville and the Great Smoky
Mountains which has not been
started, and probably cannot be
finished within the first three
postwar years, PRA said.
In addition to the parts of the
Parkway not yet begun, there is
work to be finished on other Sec
tons where only foundations have
been built. Quite a few sections
require either a top or pavement
course, PRA explained. Guard
rails also are needed in number
of spots.
The National Park service said
that while the Blue Ridge Park

Are Given Club
Ed M. Anderson, Former Pres
ident, Is Speaker AT Ro-
tary Club

Postwar goals for the Jeffersons
and Ashe county were presented
to the Jeffersons Rotary club last
Thursday when Publisher Ed M.
Anderson, former president of the
organization, was guest speaker.
Anderson, who was presented
by the program chairman, Sharpe
S. Shoemaker, reminded the
group of many plans previously
discussed as well as number of
new ones, which would be of
benefit to this section.
In outlining postwar plans he
spoke first of employment. In
discussing men in service in this
connection, he said, eve must see
that these men are integrated
and happily situated back in the
normal routine of peaceful liv-
ing"
He sighted farm, industrial, ag-
ricultural and other goals that
would not only solve the employ
ment problem, but would mean
much in the further development
of the county.
He praised the club for the fine
fellowship as well as the work
the organization is doing.
Jack GRAPHICAL, of Fig, is the
Junior Rotarian for the month,
and was present.

Former Attorney General Riddle ordered Bridges deported on the ground that the longshore- men unions executive had been a Communist party. Riddle said the party advocated the violent over throw of the United States gov- ernment.
 Justice Douglas said that Bridges had been ordered deported "on a misconstruction of the term 'af- filiation' as used in the statute and by reason of unfair hearings on the question of his membership with the Communist party his de-
