Scenic Highway Association
?- held in Canada. Mederic Martin,
nunor of Montreal wired: "The Mayr
of Montreal cordially invites the
icmberu : the Appalachian Scenh
Highway Yssociation to hold their
next Convention in Montreal, the metropolis
.1 Canada."
V <i. Cordy, manager of the Mt.
K yal Hotel, .Montreal, wiredr "We
uially invite the Appalachian
Scenic Highway Association to hold
U'.'T convention at the Mt. Royal
. the largest in the British Em:
.re. Montreal offers historic and
enic attractions without equal in
America."
Speaking on behalf _>: the Atlanta
J?uunai and the state uf Georgia
Hariw- I:ranch, ul' Atlanta, said following
Mi. Marvel, "that the orgunl
atioi. of .ai nti i national motorcatlc
commencing at New Orleans
and Atlanta and proceeding the len.
. of the scenic highway in 1927
v, ,.iiid do much to establish this- great
route as one of the marvels of modern
limes."
'in combination of scenery, rich
c- u-.try. and hospitable cities along
i:. route there is nothing like this
highway East oi the Rocky Mount.
. M: Branch declared, "Every
tunc 1 -land on some of those gorgeous
peak- and look down the length
- f ->>me ..I those magnficient valleys
nil goiges I an. made to feel thai
your engineers have achieved a very
thing in making these natural
r untie .its available to so many pcop.t
of the world.
"Eveiy place 1 g? in your state
the highways indicate that right here
tr.c most effective road work had
been done that has been achieved
in this generation anywhere. It is
a tribute to Western North Carolina
and your leaders here that you had
tin vision to make this highway pos-bic.
Hundreds of thousands ot
people in Eastern America have lain
jvnatvt- ai iiigm ureunimg ot new
places to visit in their automobiles.
This, highway gives them the answei
i their dream. This great motorcade
from Montreal to Atlanta in
i October will be one of the most spec
t tacular of international relationship.
"Oeorgia ia sending her delegates
i to Murphy in large numbers on Augii>t
21, and Asheville and Western
.North Carolina ean do nothing less
t than send great delegations for tin
i -easion." he urged. "We are coming
to you to help you celebrate the com
pletion of your link in the sceni<
highway?and you owe it to your
self to join in this celebration en
ihusiastically."
Newspaper* Get Tribute
Mr. Branch then paid tribute U
the utvseltish services that have hcei
i rendered in the cause of good road;
! by the Asheville newspapers, declar
, ir.g that without their help the mat
; ter might have been delayed b]
years.
, lie also paid a tribute to Majo
I John S. Cohen, publisher ot" the At
lanta Journal, whom he characteriz
cd as "the father of interstate
. roads." He narrated how, almost i
' decaee ago. Major Cohen set out t<
. convince the public that automobile:
! could be used for long trips and toll
\ of the devotion with which the Majo:
has labored in the Appalachian Seen
ic Highway project. One of the principal
addresses at the celebration 01
August 21 will be made by Majo:
, Cohen. He will speak on "The De
ivelopment of Highways."
| Another tribute that was paid ir
| the course of the evening was ad
I dressed by James G. Stikeleather
! North Carolina Highway Commis
' sioner for the Ninth district, to Ros
coe Marvel, president of the Appa
laehinn Scenic Highway Association
In narrating some of the history ol
the scenic highway movement he re
voaled that at the beginning of Mr
Marvel's agitation for this route ii
was doubted whether much wouk
ever come of it.
"The completion of the North Car
; olina unit in it and the virtual com
pletion of the Northern Georgia unii
gives the nation a high class and un
broken route all the way from Mon
| treal to Atlanta," Mr. Stikeleathei
declared, "and great credit is du?
Roscce Marvel for the accomplish
ment."
Three Great Highways
In the course of his address Mr
Stikeleather revealed that "th<
Nineteenth district has more miles ol
finished concrete highway than anj
other district in the state of Nort)
Carolina."
Summarizing the situation thai
now obtains with reference to th<
highways completed, he stated thai

THE CHEROKEE SCOt
Franklin Talent To I
Present Play At
Auditorium Aug 19
A committee front the Franklin <
Eastern Star were in Murphy this
week anil made arrangements to pre;
sent two Franklin talent plays at
the school auditorium Thursday night
August 19th. at 7:30 o'clock. t
, The plays are two one act come
dies, brimful o? laughter, and added c
: features will be dancing, solos and t
jokes. Music will be furnished by s
" the Franklin orchestra. ;
One play is entitled "In Dixon's \
Kitchen," by Wilbur Stout, which is 1
a series of courtship interruptions, 1
and the other is entitled "Agatha," 1
i by Jane Troy, and takes place dur- t
ing the Civil War. t
The plays are being given under t
'the auspices of the local association i
for the benefit of the Carnegie Li
brary. and it is hoped that a good t
number of the people will come out t
to see them.
I j
; the celebration at Murphy will oh- -s
. serve three outstanding facts:
I. The virtual completion of High, j
way No. lo from Morehruil City to
, Murphy, one of the greatest highways
lying entirely within a single
state to be found in the Union,
i 2. Completion of a high grade 1
through route from Montreal to At- ^
lanta, Georgia with only one detour '
in existence at present.
3. Completion of fifty miles
water bound macadam road from the t
North Carolina-Georgia line to Cleve- ?>
land, Georgia. 1
Plans to extend the membership : *
the Appalachian Scenic Highway As- r
i socintion were then outlined to the
meeting by Otis Green who called t
upon members present from the various
civic clubs of Asheville to go J
out to their respective organizations
and lay before them the benefits that
they have derived from this highway
and the duty they owe to the organ- t
ization to become members.
Gnin? Much Publicity
1 Means that have been employed to .N
make the highway known to America 1
i were set forth by Harvey Holleman ;
who reported that "newspaper infor- '
1 mation regarding the annual conven1'
tion in October and the Montteal-to- '
Atlanta motorcade has been sent to '
.?ver 300 newspapers in Eastern Unit.
ed State? and that 2Ii of the Wading
J motor magazines of America have 1
i carried information about the high- '
way." Precisely what the highway '
Joes 'o advertise Asheville and West>
| ern North Carolina was pointed out I
j by Mr. Holleman and he urged that ;
i | the city can do nothing better in its
i advertising campaign than to pro>
claim that A. S. II.?stands for
; "Asheville mountain met.rn]>olis on
| the Asheville Scenic Highway."
i j Harry Stillwell Edwards, noted
- j author, n Georgian by birth and now
- a resident of North Carolina, was
called upon by Mr. Elia^, chairman of,
the arrangements committee for the
motorcade to Murphy, to say a few
,j words about the highways of North
41 Carolina.
"It would be impossible," saia
Edwards "to tell in a few words
^ what I think of the roads here. It
would take volumes. I am reminded
p that it has been said that "all roads 1
used to lead to Rome but now they
lead to Asheville." It must be re-!
9 membered that the roads did not
^ make Rome; the roads helped Rome
) to hold the world once it was eor.s
quered. i
1 "Greatest Thing Done By South"
p "If I were asked," he continued,
- "to state what is the greatest thing
. the South has I should say the Api
palachian highland which your great ,
r highway is opening up to Ameica.
- This highland is the backbone of the
South. And you open this through
i highway you are opening up a route

| Other addresses were made by N.
! Buckner, F. Roger Miller. Mr. Elias,
i and Holmes Bryson, president of the
j Asheville Chamber of Commerce,
j Plans announced for the Murphy
celebration include a two-hour program
of addresses by outstanding'
leaders in Georgia and Western North
Carolina, a barbecue, and a musica.
program. Mayor F. S. Hill of Mur- '
