SCENIC ROAD WORK I
!
l Contractors Await Let Up In |
Weather to Complete Their
Work on Parkway.
With the Blue Ridge thickly blanj
ketcd with snow and ice contractors
for the construction of the Blue Ridge :
| Scenic parkway in northwestern j
North Carolina are anxiously await-!
ing a let up in the weather to begin i
work in earnest on their projects, ac.
cording to word received by the
VViikes Patriot-Journal
Ncilo Teer, Durham contractor who
has constructed many of the leading
highways in western North Carolina
was the successful bidder on the fifth
cihjkiun nuui mo intersection with the
new survey of highway 16 near Glendale
Springs to Benge Gap on the
Ashe-Wilkes line. He now lias contract
for three sections: the first
from the Virginia line to highway 26,
ami the other being from the intersection
with highway 18 at Laurel
Springs to highway 16. Part of the
first section has been grade J and his
representatives say work will begin
on the other two sections he lias contract
for by March 1 or earlier if
weRther permits.
Albert Brothers, contractors, have
started grading the second section
from highway 26 ill Alleghany county
to Airbellows Gap on the Ailcghany
Wilkes line ar.d when the weather
opens up grading will start on the
parkway from that point to Laurel
Springs. Perry McGlome of Roanoke,
is the contractor.
Contract will be let on March 3
for structures on the first North Carolina
section, which is now being
graded in AUeghany county. About
six months will be required to construct
the nine structures.
Ail of the contracts call for completion
within 12 months and it can
be expected that the. parkway will be
virtually completed as far south as
Deep Gap and the intersection with
the Boone Trail highway, which will
be used as far as Boone as a connecting
ii?i.
Work on the Blue Ridge Parkway
the name given the scenic boulevard
by a recent measure introduced in
congress by Representative R. L.
Dough ton, will consume practically
all available labor within daily traveling
distance of the parkway route,
it was learned today from the re-eraployment
office located here and
which serves the counties through
which the parkway will be constructed.
Representatives of the office have
made appointments in Alleghany and
Watauga counties for registering men
available for work along the route.
In the meantime the national para
service is going ahead with plans for
making the parkway an elongated
national park connecting the Shenandoah
and Smoky Mountains parks
and options are being taken on about
7,000 acres of mountain land on the
Blue Ridge in Alleghany. Wilkes,
Ashe and Watauga counties for parK
development purposes. Representatives
of the park service have inquired
here at the re-employment service,
to ascertain the amount of labor
available and intimated that development
work may be started at an early
date.
The parkway route through this
part of the state follows closely the
main ridge of the Blue Ridge, interspersed
with occasional diversions of
vaiieya ana meaaows Just beyond the I
divide and will bring into its own a
scenic region declared to be unexcelled
in eastern America and which
heretofore has been unavailable to
the sight-seeing public. Those who
have inspected the route are enthusiastic
over the panoramic views afforded
from the heights of the Blue
Ridge peaks approximately 4,000 feet
above sea level.
In Greene county, 120 tobacco
growers have had over 180 quarts of
seed recleaned for use in their tobacco
plant beds.

| Wataugans Go to Greensboro for ;
I Political Meet; Convention
Goes To Raleigh.
Watauga county furnished a dele- j
gation of about twenty-live &L the
Lincoln Day Dinner which was held i
at the King Cotton Hotel in Gr ens- j
j boro Wednesday evening, and the to-1
| cai delegates describe the gathering j
as the most enthusiastic affair of the j
hind ever staged in the state.
Senator L. J. Dickinson of Iowa I
was the principal speaker at the din-!
ner and asserted the next election!
would be a test of the very founcla- j
tions of democracy itself, and spoke |
against what he said was the new |

tempted' bribery of the states,'
through the Invalidated AAA and Its
proposed substitute, the soil conservation
measure.
He spoke also in favor of the Supreme
Court in its invalidation of
ne<V deal legislation, saying it had
preserved the Constitution in the face
of "nonchalant disregard" of it by
Congress and the Executive.
Such disregard. Dickinson said,
has placed upon the Supreme Court
"not only the entire burdtnof enforcement
for the Constitution, but what
is even more important, of observing
the spirit that underlies it."
One of the vital issues of the No- ,
vember campaign, he added, ''will be, |
who is to fill possible vacancies upon :
the Supreme Court. Already thePrcs- j
ident has called into conference chairmen
of the judiciary committees of
the House and Senate looking to
drafting legislation which wilt curb
the authority of the lower federal
court3. What a bitter jest to liberty
and to the American system of balanced
government should the future
of Lhose very liberties and the Constitution
itself now depend upon the
tenuous life-thread of perhaps a single
judge."

What the public must be made to
understand Dickinson contended, is
that the Supreme Court is not to
blame 'for the blunders and errors
made during the past three years in
the search for cure-alls or shortcuts j
to recovery."
He listed various pieces of new
deal legislation, stressing the view it
had brought about a centralization of
govermunet, and he added:
"There is only one question to be
decided next November. Brush aside
a'i the special pleading of those who
merely seek to preserve their places j
on the public pay roll. Disregard the
appeals to emotion or the incitations
to c!as3 hatred based on envv and !
greed. Forget even the record of bro- I
ken party promises, the dissipation of
tlie nation's resources, of the capture
by the new deal Socialists of the
Democratic party organization. The
issue burrs down to this:
What form of government do we
wish io hand on to our children? Are
we willing to trade liberty for an alleged
economic security underwritten
by the federal government? Arc we
ready to exchange that seif-reliane.
for dependance upon bureaucratic
direction for all the Important ac.
livities of life?"
Raleigh was selected by the Re- ,
publican state executive committee,
in session here today, for the party's j
biennial state convention, which willj
probably be held early in April, the 1
capital city, winning over two other i
contenders, Charlotte and Goldsboro.
