Parktvay Travel Shows
Increase Over 1959
Travel on the Bluff District for
the month of January was 8.5 per
cent increase over the same period
last year. The increase is attributed
to the mild weather so far this
year and the Parkway was closed
only 11 days the past month as
compared to 19 days last January.
The Parkway will continue to
be cloaed when there are hazardous
driving conditions and we would
like for everyone to avoid using
the Parkway when the road closed
signs are out.

Civil War Centennial Curtain Raises Jan. 1
Washington, D. C. ? The curtain
on the Civil War Centennial will
be raised next January 1 with all
the formality and tribute an ap
preciative nation can accord the
memory of the men on both sides
who fought to settle the greatest
issue America ever faced.
This announcement was made
here today by Maj.-Gen. U. S.
Crant, 3rd, chairman of the Na
tional Civil War Centennial Com
mission, who reminded that the
kickoff date will inaugurate the
greatest commemorative observ
ance ever participated in by
Americans, a five-year period dur
ing which organised effort will be
made to bring the nation's history
into proper focus.
Someone has said, pointed out
General Grant, that "the basic
reason for official commemora
tion of the Civil War should be to
impress and re-impress our peo
ple, especially the young, with the
terrific price paid for this Union
of states which we all enjoy so
casually today."
This official observance, undei
the auspices of the national gov
ernment, explained the chairman,
affordi a tremendous series of op
portunitiei to fire the aoul with
the true ipirit of patriotiim
through new understanding and
deep appreciation of "the spirit
of those on both sides of that
struggle whose intense convictions
and personal sacrifices to defend
them are simply without parallel
in our history."
As a token of the official begin
ning of the Centennial, he said,
President Eisenhower will be ask
ed to issue a proclamation inviting
and urging every American to
participate in the series of pro
grams planned at the grass-roots
level and coordinated at National
Ceatennial Headquarters in Wash
ington. Many of these already are
well along in the planning stage,
while the 40 state Centennial com
missions now in existence are
working constantly to develop
them further.
National Scout headquarters are
| located at New Brunswick, New
Jersey.
