Overmountain March Proposed A Nat’l Historic Trail (ATLANTA) — The National Park Service (NPS) has released for public review and comment a draft report recommending Na tional Historic Trail status for the Overmountain Victory Trail in four southeastern states. The proposed addition to the National Trails System com memorates the routes taken by colonial “Overmountain Men” from their primary muster points in Virginia, Tennessee and North Carolina to Kings Mountain in South Carolina during late September and early October, 1978. Frontiersmen from those four states plus Georgia scored a resounding victory over British Loyalists in the Battle of Kings Mountain on Oct. 7,1780, the first link in a chain leading to the surrender of British General Cornwallis a year later, greatly hastening the end of the American Revolution. Copies of the draft study report are being sent to individuals and organizations that have express ed prior interest in the project. Additional copies and informa tion are available from the Resource Area Studies Division, National Park Service, 75, Spring St., S. W., Atlanta, GA 30303. The Park Service has set a March 15, 1980, deadline for public comment on the report. Comments will be incorporated into a final report that will be submitted to the Secretary of the Interior and then to the President and Congress. Joe Brown, Southeast Regional Director for the Park Service, said he hopes the study will be completed in time for Congress to consider national trail designa tion prior to the Bicentennial of the March and battle this fall. Specifically, the draft report calls for designation of the march route from Abingdon, Va., to Sycamore Shoals (Elizabethton), Tenn., to Quaker Meadows (Morganton), N. C., to Cowpens, S. C., to Kings Mountain. It also includes the route taken by North Carolinians from Wilkes and Surry Counties on their way to join other contingents at Quaker Meadows. The report proposes that the initial segements of the trail be those already identified and established in Kings Mountain National Military Park, Cowpens National Battlefield, Pisgah National Forest and Roan Mountain and Sycamore Shoals State Parks in Tennesse. Overall administration would fall under the National Park Service, which would be assisted by an advisory council made up of representatives from private, local, state and federal organiza tions. The advisory council also would be involved in an active program to identify, authenti cate, publicize and preserve the march routes and the important historic sites associated with them. In order to achieve some of these goals, a highway marking program would be authorized, with the federal government providing the markers and the various states reponsible for placing and maintaining them. The draft report recommends that the states strongly consider, at least as a long-range goal, establishing bicycle trails either along highways that have displaced the historic route or along paralleling roads. 20 Years Ago Miss Sylvia Comer, a senior at Meredith College, Raleigh, was listed as making the Dean’s List for the past semester.

If the truth were known, there are probably more reason to have headaches than not to have them. For example, it’s raining outside and the kids stayed home because it’s a holiday and while you were breaking up the latest in a series of all-day fights you forgot about the oven and tonight’s dinner has now taken on the appearance of soggy char coal. You guessed it, the common If any part of your body is cold, put on a hat or scarf. Almost 90 percent of the body’s heat loss is at the head. If the head is covered up, the excess heat that can no longer be lost goes to other places, to the hands or feet, for instance, making these areas warmer.

It is usually relieved by a couple of aspirin and a couple of quiet minutes. An extended vacation is optional. Most headaches are nothing to worry about. However, if they come on suddenly with no apparent reason and persist for a couple of days, they should be investigated by your physician. If the headache is situated above one eye it is likely to be caused by sinusitis. If it comes on abruptly and is worsened by eye movements it may be due to eyestrain. Another, but less likely, possibility is that it might be due to glaucoma, a serious disorder with increases the pressure within the eyeball itself. Left untreated, glaucoma can lead to blindness. Perhaps the most severe type of headache is the migraine. It is an intense headache and typical ly affects women more often than men and tends to run in families. The migraine may last anywhere from several hours to a couple of days and may be accompanied by nausea and vomiting. If you suffer from migraines your physician may be able to prescribe medication to lessen the attack. It may or may not be comforting to know that most of migraine attacks tend to taper off and stop after 50 years of age.
