as much as IS miles q day. Then
they headed north toward Bir-
mingham and the iva lakes, and
soon ran into more difficult
country.
Rugged Pull Ahead
They had to stay on back
roads to avoid heavy highway
traffic. When they reached the
Tennessee River, they followed
lit to Chattanooga. A side trip to
the top of LOOKOUT Mountain
gave them a taste of the rugged
cycling ahead.
Beyond Knoxville. they en-
Icountered the steep, winding
roads in the Great Smokey
Mountains. The Blue Ridge park
way and Skyline drive brought
them most OF the way home.
So far. the boys have figured
the trip is costing them a dollar
Ia day. They have been living
loff such foods as oatmeal, grits,
lraisins and sardines. For lunch,
they looked for someplace TO buy
milk and a loaf of bread.
Making More Plans
At night, they search for an
out-of-the-way spot and un-
limbered their sleeping bags,
It's been hard riding, they
admit, but worth it.
You just can't possibly real
ize what a great country this is
until you get out yourself and
see it," Alex says.
Already the two boys are
planning a second trip next
summer. Alex hopes they can
take a long canoe trip some
where.

Five and Ten Store.
The new building came under
fire recently when it was learn
ed it would block the alley and
violate new town ordinance
which prohibits buildings from
being erected closer than l2.5
feet from the rear property line
of the lot on which il is located.
Too, blocking the alley would
constitute a violation of the July

buildings from being erected in
such a manner that would pre-
vent use of fire fighting apparat-
us and personnel in fighting
fires from the rear Of a building.
II the new, modern store were
constructed TO the edge of the

the rear entrance to three stores.
Commissioners expressed he
opinion that such an obstacle
might easily be a fire hazard to
the entire business district.
Mayor II. G.. Cameron ex-
planned the situation recently in
a letter TO Leroy Lee, owner If
the store, and asked his coopera-
ton. AT press time today the
Board had not had a reply from
Lee.

lStraining order would be soust.t
from Superior Court Judge Ray
Imond b. Mallard within the next
few days. If Judge Mallard
grants the order, construction of
the new building would be halt
led until such time as the dis
.rcpancy was cleared.

lows:
