minds us that our only hope OF
allaying the disaster of such op-
preston is to continue with the
one party that has been a friend
of the south.
It is nice to see the vision and
pride that goes into the erection
of public buildings throughout the
state. Citizens most everywhere
build for the future. They do not
merely saddle their children with
debt. They provide something that
will outlast the debt. When they
build courthouse, or school
house, they do not wildly, nor
blindly jump into any sort OF
proposition that will serve as an
excuse to spend some money,
They build something useful as
well as pleasing to the eye. Some
thing that will render service, and
will not be an eyesore.
Of course the communities
which take so much pride in what
they build,-who make certain
they get their moneys worth
consist largely of people who are
having to pay all the bills. We

THROUGH THE MOUNTAINS


When most of our readers see
this column this week / will have
already left home for trip to
Florence, Ala. out where the
Muscle Shoals and IVA projects
lie. This will be a trip of some
800 and more miles, and the fine
part of it is that Catherine and I
with our little granddaughter,
Susan, four years old, will see the
mountains at their finest during
the season of autumn coloring.
We are headed on this long
drive to attend the wedding of our
son Roger in Florence on Sunday,
the 21st, and / have been asked
to be best man, just as our other
son, Francis, asked at his wedding
over five years ago. take it as
quite a tribute that the boys
should so remember me.
Usually 1 dislike going to we'd
dings and funerals, for there is
often so much trumped up finery
and ill-afforded expense at we'd
! dings that they don't impress me
the right way. And as for fune-
rails, it has got so now that nearly
everyone who dies is an old
friend. Each funeral in succession
tends to leave one feel more alone
in the world.
A mighty fine thing about this
particular wedding will be the
long auto trip. 1t will be intensely
interesting and soothing to the
senses to drive through the noun
tains while they are in so lavish
a blaze of color. This trip will
take US from end to end of North
Carolina, literally from Manteo to
Murphy, for we will go through
that town. Leaving home Thurs
day morning early, the trip to
Florence should be easily accom-
plished in two days. After another
two days we'll be coming back,
and on an easier ride with so
much of it down hill. We will go
through Asheville, and see the
fine, safer and wider roads that
are constantly being built through
our mountains. We will get a
great treat out of the expressions
on the face of the little grand
child as the scenery unfolds be-
fore her wondering eyes.
l think that nothing has been
so educational and otherwise help
full to me as various trips during
the past 80 years all over the
state. Fortunately it has been pos
sible to visit every county, and all
the county seats save one, which
1 observed from the air on sew
eral occasions. l have learned bet
ter how other folks live, and how,
progress has come to other Sec
tons of the state. l have seen that
other people have needs, the same
as ourselves. I have seen they did
not get progress by fighting it.
That they did not make friends
! and build up and aid their COM
munities by discourtesy and lack
of appreciation toward those in
position to help them. I have seen
that progress has come to those
places first, which had intelligent

brought them boldly out in front,

Even before seeing the power,
the comfort and the safety OF
the fabulous collection of 1856
automobiles now spread SO at
tractively over the Armory floor,
experts were forecasting an all
time high for auto travelling this
year.
Now that they've seen them,
the only revision is to boost
the estimate.
AS early as last November. the
American Automobile Associa-
ton estimated that 80 million
Americans took to their cars for
at least one journey Of more than
three days duration.
Noting this, Andrew j. Sor-
doni, AAA president, looked tc
the 1856 travel outlook as Tex
tremely promising. All indica-
tons point to a continuing rise
in the volume and expenditures
of American vacationists.
This" he added meaning
fully, should hold true not only
for the year ahead but for the
entire decade to come"
More Leisure Time
Mr.. Sordoni analysed the sit
uation beyond the fact that the
cars are better, the roads are
better and accommodations i'm
proved. Availability Of greater
leisure time through the short
ening work week and more paid
vacations" he remarks.

Gus bring a yawn by comparison.
No Lack OF Energy
In falling in with the general
condemnation of the trend to-
ward excessive horsepower we
must not lose sight Of the fact
that the car makers leave no
question in our minds that no
matter what we expect Of the
1856 jobs they won't let us down
for lack of energy.
Whether 1t Is the 100 horse

Iof the Rambler or the $40 that
propels the Packard Caribbean,
we are assured of that power

Iunfailing performance but which

ments are and where they are
needed.
In March. 1855. the President
submitted to Congress a report
prepared by the Bureau Of Pub
lie Roads with the cooperation
Of the State highway depart
ments showing the estimated
cost Of construction needed to
modernize all of the Nations
roads and streets in a period
Of 10 years to be $l0l billion.
This has become a familiar
figure. Unfortunately, 1t has
been publicized so as to leave
the erroneous impression that
it represents the estimated cost
of a Federal program rather
than an overall estimate Of the
total cost Of needed improve
ments in the next 10 years.
Considering only the inter-
state system, the needs were
estimated at $23 billion. The
system was not wholly desig-
mated at the time. This has
now been done. Improvement
Of the entire system in a 10
year period should cost some
where between SIS and $27
billion. In the case Of this key
system the proposed standards
are designed to provide high
ways that will be adequate for
the traffic expected in 1914.
The Presidents highway pro-
gram called for completion OF
the interstate system along
these lines and indicated q
method of financing by the
Federal Government. Legisla-
ton to effect the recommends
tions Of the President and al
ternate proposals to accomplish
the same broad purpose I'M
doubtedly will be given early
consideration by Congress this
year.
Assuming that we do carry
out such a program Of improve
ments on the interstate system
including expressways through
and around our large cities.
what will such a program mean
to mentioning families?
No Interruptions
Practically speaking, these
motorists will be able to trave
over a nation wide network Of
expressways offering little or nc
interruption to the free flow Of
traffic.
While 1t Is true that nearly
1000 miles of the Interstate
system will still consist of two.
lane roads. these sections lie ir
lightly Travelled areas. The
great bulk Of the proposed i'm.
provements. more than $4,000
miles. will provide four lans
divided highways, with con.
trolled access where necessary.
Adjacent service roads will bt
built to serve local traffic needs
Most Of the remaining mileage
chiefly in and approaching met.
lropolitan centers, will be six oil
more lanes wide.
Many Of the freeways ant
traffic interchanges being built
today require engineering skill:
of a very high order and are
designed to carry tremendous
volumes Of traffic.

realize that the construction Of
