SHARPSBURG, Md.-To en-
10y the surroundings of this
celebrated battlefield area you
needn't be sensitive to the
ghosts Of the Civil War.
All you really need is a taste
for placid rolling farmlands
dotted with early American
farmhouses. sleepy old towns
and pretty little streams all
trimmed with mountains.
Pleasant Valley they call the
slopes bisected by Antietam
Creek, around which the Civil
War ragged tor one frightful

Both Union and Confederate
troops in their wistful letters
home remarked on what a fer
tile and beautiful land it was
And pleasant the valley has re-
manned, since civilizations in
toads-the neon signs and the
mass identical housing-have
generally spared it.
70 Miles from Capital
The area is less than 10 miles
from Washington. The best ap-
proach is the super U. S. Route
24O to Frederick and U. S. Alter
nate 40 out of Frederick to
Boonsboro. This happens to be
the approximate route the

are covered with sea oats.
This is also the time that
more different kinds are birds
appear on the waters and land
of the Dare Coast.
During the spring and early
summer the ponds Of the
marshes were lonely looking
places. That was the nesting
season for the waterfowl, the
wading birds and the beach
and shore birds.
Now the young Matched this
year have reached the flying
and swimming stages. 1t is not
unusual to see hundreds of
ducks and gadwalls swimming
on the ponds. 1t is the season
that the young of blue and
white heron, of egret and
glossy ibis have joined their
parents to put on a parade of
wildlife which this year is
easier to see than ever before
because of new public roads
leading through the marshes
close by the feeding and swim
ming spots.
New Roads
The new $888,0O0 limited
access highway between Kitty
Hawk and lower Mays Head is
almost finished. Already a
limited amount of traffic is
passing over this route which
has eliminated the bottlenecks
on the restricted speed zone
route nearer the ocean.
One new bridge, between
Mays Head and Roanoke Is
land, is completed. Construc-
ton crews are making improve
ments Of the Wright Memorial
Bridge spanning Currituck
Sound at the Northern entrance
to the Mays Head Outer Banks
region. This bridge is on
United States Route 1853.
There has been an increase
in traffic over the new William
B. Umstead bridge crossing his
toric Croatan Sound this sea-
son. The State owned toll free
ferries crossing Alligator River
at the western border of Dare
have hauled more cars and
passengers this season than
ever before.
Anticipating a continual in
crease, the North Carolina
State Highway Commission has
ANNOUNCED plans for replacing
ferries on U. S. Ga at Alligator
River and the Oregon Inlet
ferry system with new multi
million dollar bridges.
A deluge of inquiries from the
Washington. D. c.. area hit the
Dare Coast this week, addressed
mostly to the Dare County
Tourist Bureau in Manteo. Last
week in this column it was an
nounced that persons in the
Washington area desiring in

receive a packet Of folders and
