The Virginia highway commissioi
is carrying out an improvrti prograrc
on the; section of highway in thai
state between WythevilU* and tht
North Carolina state line. Tht
North Carolina highway commissior
also has a program that will soon bt
completed between thtr state lint
intersecting with the Virginia roar
and Boone. With the exception oJ
the Yor.ahlossee and a few miles or
the Jtinvtiie river the road has been
improved to a certaiii degree.. Tht
thing that is needed is to make il
ohe of the best type roads in tht
state so as to attract through travel
into this section.
There are many attractions thai
lie along this highway that would
interest people once they knew that
they were anything like accessible or
a through road they could cover One
feature, of course, is this section ol
the Vonahlossee along J ho southern
slope of Grandfather mountain
Tin re is no other section of highway
in the at such an elevation and
there is no other place where sucli
a view of this whole southern slop*

One other feature that will make
this road of all the more importance
is the fact that the. Croat Smoky
