Civic and business groups in cities on State Highway Sp between Marietta and Blue Ridge hope to raise $6,500 to erect a lighted billboard beckoning tourists to use tl.eir highwa\. The billboard will point the way to the Murphy area and stow the highway mileage from the billboard site to points in this area. The billboard will also show some of the tourist attractions to be found in the area. The campa.gn was started well before the recent threat of a Gilmer County deputy sheriff ta close the highway because bleeding asphalt made it dangerous during rainy weather. <Since then, the State Highway Departm thas made heavy appllcatio s of gravel In the slippery areas, between Blue Ridge and EUijay. and has posted perhaps two dozen "'slippery when wet" signs.) The campaign has been en couraged by the success of a similar billboard placed at the junction of U. S, 64 and Tenn essee 68 near Copperhill, Tenn. Georgia Highway Sends at Copperhill. Bill Dunn, a Blue Ridge motel operator and president of the Blue Ridge Business Association, says he knows of at least a dozen couples who traveled down Highway 5 and stopped in Htm. Ridge after seeing the Copperhill sign. Some stayed in the area three or four days, he said. It was Mr. Dunn who started the campaign to put up the Copperhill sign. He said he found busincssn " . in Blue Ridge willing eno to con tribute, but that many felt 1 he'd never collect enougl money $1,300- ro fret the | billboard up. . "But 1 got enough In thret| mornings." he said. The Tennessee ( irP^rCol gave the Blue Ridge ! r -es?l Association a lease on th?| billboard site for $!C a >earf Mr. Dunn said the copp-: r : pany realized that sigal which measures 20 by 40 feed would be a good promotioi | for the area's tourist busi . ness. The sign is ilium :.aW| by 12 150-watt floodlights. The second billboard woul' be placed at the junction o U. S. 41 and Highway 5 ius north of Marietta. It would b larger and the $6,500 price ta would include a 10-year lease maintenance of the sign an the electric bill for It. The Blue Ridge Kiwani | club already has pledge' $1,000 toward the cost of th billboard, Mr. Dunn said, ar civic groups In other' cite along the way also are e? pected to chip in. The sign would show som of the tourist activities of tl area ? hunting, fislunj swimming and water skiini it also would show thchirhwi mileage from the billtoai site to Canton, Jasper, Bit Ridge, Copperhill, M :rph N. C? Cleveland. Tent Chattanooga, Knoxvilie and tl Smokies. Richard Mauney Receives NX.
