Proposal To Extend Parkway 150 To 180 Miles Gets House Group OK Washington ? A propoeed study jffijto determine whether UO w 180 ' smiles should be added to Um ctlu? lid(e Parkway to extend It into -Georgia waa endorsed ojr a House Interior subcommittee Thursday. However, committee action waa withheld pending approval by the Agriculture Department. The proposal for the study was made by Sep. Boy A. Taylor, D-N.C. He sponsored a bill te pro vide $33,000 (or the study. Taylor ? read endorsements lor the pro ? iect from Waynesville, rranalin and Brevard, N.C., and from the Western North Carolina Associat ed Communities, which, he said, includes all towns and counties of the atea. Bep. Phillip Mitchel Landrum, D-Ga., told the committee that he and Taylor will seek immediste approval by the Agriculture De partment which, he said, be be lieves will be forthcoming. The proposed extension would go through miles of national forest land under Agriculture Depart ment Jurisdiction. Landrum said, "This Parkway extension would be realization of a dream of many Georgia people. This is almost as classic beauty as you'll find in the United States. There couldn't be a finer under taking for this amount of money. The cooperation from Georgia municipalities along the route will be 100 per cent." He added that because of the less mountainous terrain, the sec tion probably would not cost as much as the nearly complete Parkway in North Carolina and Virginia. Taylor told the committee that North Carolina Gov. Terry San ford is enthusiastic about the pro posed study. Bichard Degenhardt of the Asheville Chamber of Commerce and Pat Miller of the Highlands Chamber of Commerce also testi fied in favor of the study. Degenhardt said the proposed parkway would begin about 90 miles south and east of the en trance to the Great Smoky Moun tain National Park, bringing that park nearer to thousands of trsvel- ; en. Landrum said the study will de termine the length of the Parkway,' 2 but that it is expected to run ! from Tennessee Bald Gap or North Carolina Beech Gap by Whiteside i Mountain, Bridal Veil F?1U, CulJ awja Gorge, Eetatoah Kill*, acroee the Chattaehoocbee River tad Met of lake Sidney Lanier to a ?pot between Gftiaeavllle, Ga? and Atlanta, Ga., probably connecting with the road tron Charlotte, N.

The Singing, which began in the early 1920s, has been led by 90 year-old Joe Lee Hartley through the years. Mr. Parrla paid tribute to Mr. Hartley by saying he was a "self-appointed Samaritan, traveling lonely roads to answer the beck and call of those in distress." Mr. Hartley has spent many of his 90 years as ? fire warden on Grandfather Mountain, and has walked over the entire mountain many times. He probably knows the terrain of the area better than any living man. The crowd gathered on the low er slopes .of the famous old moun tain between sunup and sundown Sunday to sing and worship and listen. Many started gathering Sat urday afternoon, and by S p. m. some 5,000 persons, hundreds bed ding down for the night, had as sembled. By 8 a. m. Sunday, traffic was bumper-to-bumper up the moun tain in all directions, and it was State Highway Patrol officers who gave out the count on the largest number of people ever to attend the event. The day waa filled with hymn | ung, goepel preaching and the talk by Mr. Parria. The day ended with Mr. Hartley uttering the final prayer near sundown. In Fashion Now For the city girl or visitor who goes in for night life, the designers are showing attractive evening hats. These are small with veiling as ? usual thing, but one creation is a great fluffy hat of silk tulle ? another has yards of silk illusion draped over a silk turban and covering the face. A most unusual number is a large hat of mesh trimmed with velvet ribbon. But the tiny bits of veiling with ribbon bows are still popular. Separates are favorites with the traveler ? the skirt that can be worn with blouses to dress it up or down ? the short jacket that can be part of a suit or be worn over a sleeveless dress or blouses that can go with pants or skirts. In this way a variety of costume changes can be had by changing the combinations. Nixon's political future appears enogmatic. Sigmund Robeson, Jr. Is Killed In Crash Sigmund T.
