SIGNS FOR US 25-70?
Someone has suggtested posting large signs along
US 25-70 from Marshall to Hot Springs withthe fol
lowing letters printed bn the signs: "ATTENTION
TOURISTS .... DRIVE CAREFULLY . . ... THIS
HIGHWAY HASN'T BEEN IMPROVED ; IN THE
PAST 35 YEARS .... WATCH FOR HOLES ....
BROKEN SHOULDERS .... BEWARE OF STEEP
GRADES . . , . .S.HARP CURVES."
This might not be a bad idea. Maybe the Mar
shall Chamber of Commerce will lend a helping
hand.
Some people might think the signs would be a
little too severe but when a person rides over this
ancient but heavily-used highway from Marshall to
Hot Springs and into Tennessee he wonders just
WHY this important link of road has been so neg
lected for so long a time.
We have been promised time and again that
this road MUST be improved. But for some unac
countable or unknown reason very little improve
ment has been noted in the past 30-35 years. It's no
wonder that our people wonder.
Perhaps we harp too much about this highway
and its condition but it so irritates us that we can't
help it. We just hope that other readers (and driv
ers) will write to our commissioner, our highway en
gineer, our highway commission; our governor, and
to other officials pointing out the great, and vital
need for a better highway into North Carolina from
Tennessee via Hot Springs and 'Marshall.
We feel certain that our highway commission
er J. G. Stikeleather, Jr. will do all he can but
it wouldn't hurt our citizens to show their concern
by at least writing to our state officials.
IT TAKES MORE THAN TALK
The old adage that "everybody talks about the
weather but no one does anything about it" could
also apply to many other areas. Just about every
body's talking about the declining population in our
county but so far as we can tell very few people are
actually doing anything about it. We also hear so
many people talk about the poor condition of High
way 25-70 but we wonder how many people have
written to the State Highway Commission or to the
governor pointing out the great need for a better
highway? We hear so much criticism about this and
that but we seldom hear any constructive ideas as
to how to improve the situation.
Indeed, it is easy and natural to sit around
and talk and criticize but it isn't too easy to find
people willing to sacrifice time and effort to put this
talk into action.
How many times have you heard someone re
mark, Why don't THEY do something about this or
that; why don't THEY improve this and that. And
just as sure as someone tries to do something these
same people, in many instances, will say, "Just look
at him or her ... . THEY'RE trying to run every
thing. We firmly believe that if our people would DO
MORE and TALK LESS we could improve our coun
ty in numerous ways.
We're afraid too many people are just waiting
for some industry to move into our county without
exerting anjy effort to get an industry here. What
are TOU doing to improve the present trend?
Ifs going to take more
nopmg .... it's going to take cooperat
among our people plus some swe'SfSii
