Speaking
Of Golf
BY JOE MAPLES
Fantastic is the word for it.
We’re talking about the excell
ent round of 68, three under par
turned in by Dempsey “Fire
bug” Wilcox recently.
Billy Joe Patton, the fine
amateur from Morganton let
the rest of the field look at his
heels last week in the third
annual Rhododendron Pro-Am
golf tournament played at the
Blowing Rock Country Club. He
fired rounds of 67-67-72 for a
total of 206 for medalist hon
ors. Leading the professionals
was Odell Massey of Sanford
with 70-66-71 for 207, followed
by Bill Greene of Wilkesboro
and Larry Beck with totals of
207.
Norman Flynn of Columbia
led his team to victory in the
Pro-Am with a 54 hole team
best ball total of 178, two shots
ahead of the second place team.
Bob McKaughn and John Broy
hill were on teams that tied for
third at 181 while Roger Tho
mas headed the next team at 182.
Rich Finley was one of Rog
er’s partners. Mickey Gallagh
er and Sonny Ridenhour took
first place in the pro-am best
ball competition with a score of
196 and in third place came
host professional BruceSudder

600 Acre Parkway Area To
Be Dedicated To Jeffress
A 600-acre park on the Blue
Ridge Parkway in Ashe County
will be dedicated June 27 to the
memory of the late E„B. Jeffress
of Greensboro who, as chairman
of the state Highway Commis
sion, was largely responsible
for getting the parkway routed
through North Carolina.
Co-sponsors of the dedica
tion, which will feature an ad
dress by Gov. Dan Moore, are
the state Highway Commission
and the National Park Service
which owns and operates the
park.
Parkway Superintendent
Granville B. Liles said the cere
monies will begin at 2 p.m. and
be held in the Gascades parking
area at milepost 272 about four
miles north of the intersection
on U. S. 421 at Deep Gap.
Other speakers will include
George B. Hartzog Jr. director
of the National Park Service;
Joseph M. Hunt Jr. of Greens
boro, chairman of the highway
commission; and C.O. Jeffress
of Greensboro, publisher of the
Greensboro Daily News and son
of the man for whom the park
is being named.
The memorial is comprised ol
mountain fields and forests, and
embraces Tompkins Knob and
the Cascades which attract
thousands of parkway visitors
every year.
In the 1030s, plans were thai
the Blue Ridge Parkway woulc
run from Roanoke, Va. through
Tennessee, bypassing North
Carolina.
But through efforts led by
E,B. Jeffress and assisted by th(
late U.S. Rep. R.L. Doughtor
(for whom another nearbj
mountain park is named) the De
partment of Interior secretary,
Harold Ickes, was persuaded to
route the scenic highway througl
North Carolina, roughly follow
ing the eastern continental
divide.
Jeffress was a native of Hay
wood County and spent much ol
his youth in the mountain area,
He was a teacher at Binghan
Military School in Ashevillefoi

Is this tiny monthly difference all that’s
keeping you from owning a Chrysler?
So you think you can't afford one of our Chryslers9 Sure. Chrysler is expensive
looking. It's bigger. Roomier And it has a big standard 383 cubic inch V-8 engine
that runs on regular gas.
But compare car payments. You'll find a full-size Chrysler Newport is priced
just a couple bucks more a month than one of the most popular smaller cars.
