ASK HARD SURFACE OF LOUISBURG ROAD Delegation In Raleigh Today Appearing Before High way Board ALREADY MAINTAINED State Took It Over Ftor Upkeep Be fore Assuming Responsibility For All County Roads Over The State A delegation including members of the Board of County Commissioners, the county attorney and several cit izens appeared before the State High way Commission in Raleigh today and asked that body to hard-surface the highway from Henderson to Louisburg byway of Epsom. The money, or part of it, would come from Federal aid funds advanced to the State by the United States government oy way of road work for the relief of unemploy ment. This which is a distance of approximately 20 miles between the two countyseats, ha* been under State maintenance for several years, having been taken over by the highway com mission prior to the legislation of the 1931 General Assembly placing all pub lic roads throughout the State in charge of the State Highway Commis sion. The road has already been graded and in many places has been straight ened out to eliminate dangerous cur ves and narrow roadway. Gravel was hauled to various points along the route more than a year ago for the purpose of building tar and gravel surfaces, but the work has never gone much further than that. In view of the several millions of dollars advanc ed by the Federal government at this time, it is the hope of the local gov erning authorities that an allotment from it may be had for the purpose of paving the entire distance between the two towns, which carries a heavy traffic, and which is an important artery of travel from this part of the State to the east. Franklin county authorities are un derstood to be cooperating in the ef fort to obtain the cooperation of the State Highway Commission, and a delegation from that county has al ready appeared before the commission in behalf of the project.

In parts of the north eastern section of the United States,, will be visible here here tomorrow afternoon, and It is esti mated will be approximately 86 to 90 percent total. In New York, the erllpse ~11l be 95 percent total, and it is not believed there will be a variation of more than 10 per cent at the most at this distance from that city. In New York the eclipse will begin at 2:23 p. m., standard time, and the maximum obscuration will be at 3:34 p. m.. with the eclipse ending there at 4:39. This time, in TUESDAY, AUGUST 30, 1938 all three Instances, will apply here, it is thought, as to the degree and progress of the obscurity of the sun. Scientists say this will be the last eclipse of the sun visible in the United States until 1961, or 29 years hence. It will, therefore, be the last eclipse many now liv ing in this country will ever see. For that reason, nearly every one is expected to make preparations view the phenomena. Indications at this time are that the weather will lie clear, in which • vent there should he opportunity for pcrfqpt viewing of the eclipse.
