Watauga Digging
(continued from page one)
were closed for ? period of time
because of the deep snow and
drifts.
F. W. McCracken, highway main
tenance supervisor, said crews are
still working to get county roads
open. Some are open to one-way
traffic, and it will be several days
before "clean-up" crews can clear
the roads entirely.
All the highway equipment suit
able for moving the snow and Ice
has been put into service. Heavy
equipment has been borrowed
from other counties, according to
J. T. Winkler, State Highway
engineer of Boone. Several pieces
have been rented from local con
tractors, and every effort is being
made to get the roads in condition
again.
The maintenance crews were
hampered by the fact that in many
placea there is no place to purfh
the snow, and some of the equip
ment has been bogged down in the
drifts. When this happens at night,
the equipment has to be left until
morning when crews can see to
dig it out. Mr. McCracken express
ed the hope of getting all roads
open by the week end. Snow fell
all day Monday, and flurries were
seen Tuesday, but the sun wa*
shining, giving hope that their
work would be made easier.
Mails have been delayed be
cause of the snow, and the high
way postoffiees from Greensboro
and Charlotte were unable to make
schedule Thursday. City deliveries
have been made every day, though
the load was lightened because in
ooming mail did not arrive.
Rural carriers have been having
troubles getting over their routes.
Some of the roads have not 9<h
been opened, but where they could
get in, they have been making
deliveries.
Acting Postmaster T-.yle B. Cook
asks that patroni, both rural and
city, make an effort to clear i>
route to their hoxei so the carriers
will not have to wade the drifts.
Most carriers have been making
every effort to g$t the mail to the
boxes, but they are not required
to do so.
Parkway Aid

and $997,078 for maintenance and
rehabilitation of physical facili
ties. The totals, slightly higher
than last year's, are for both
North Carolina and Virginia.
Smith said that the partway
was making "pretty good prog
ress" and that It was expected to
be completed on time (1966) ex
cept for bypasses in the Asheville
and Roanoke, Va? areas.
The estimated construction coat
of the Blue Ridge Parkway, one
of 10 authorized by Congress, ft
close to $100 million. More than
two-thirds of the funds have been
appropriated.
