Completion of this highway link will give Trdhsylvanla two connections with the proposed Blue Ridge Park way, which Is an assured fact now that there will be no dead ends on the Wagon Road Gap-Tennessee Bald link which Is expected to be the next link of the national scenic highway con necting Shenandoah and the Great Smoky Mountains National parks. Highway 284 from the Boylston road to the top of the ridge in Plsgah For est at Wagon Road gap will be com pleted this fall, and with completion of the forest service road connecting with the Gloucester road, Transyl vania county will have a connecting road at either end of the 21 mile link of the scenic parkway.

The link ties in with State Highway No. 284 at Woodrow, near 'Sunburst, and CCC enrollees are work ing on still another road which will carry the highway across the divide and down to Rosman. The Rosman end of the project Is now within three miles of the top of the mountain and Is being pushed as rapidly as possible. Mr. McKee explained, that the State Highway and Public Works commis sion Is cooperating with the United States Forest service in making ac cessible where possible remote links of the Blue Ridge Parkway, so as to aid construction and to prevent "dead end” parkway links before the entire parkway is Joined up. Forestry and state highway officials have been working with members of the Western North Carolina Advisory committee for several months on the connecting roads which will preclude the “dead ending" of the Blue Ridge Parkway link, and members of the boards of commissioners of Haywood and Transylvania, as well as the pub lic affairs committee of the Brevard Klwanls club have held numerous con ferences recently In regard to the mat ter.
