estimated at between $250.00 and oa
$500.00, which our people should be us

Opening o
By Harvey Hollciuan I
Early In the fall of 1S>26 a cele- j
bration will be held to commemo- |
rate the opening of the Appalach- J
ian Scenic Highway from Montreal |
to Atlanta, through Ashctlle. To |
attend this event a mighty motorcade
will start southward from :
Montreal, adding recruits en route. 1
and proceed to Atlanta for the
occasion
Stretching from Montreal to New
Orleans, the Appalachian Scenic
Highway is u road of wondrous
scenery and never-ending delight,
according to Iloscoc Marvel, who
sponsored this route for many
months before others came to his
aid In getting it firmly established.
Mr. Marvel is still president
Following the ridge of the Appalachian
range from Pennsylvania
to Georgia this route not only gets
its name, but affords some of the
most gorgeous mountain scenery in
America Many experienced trav
elers claim it t xcli anything they
saw In Switzerland. With practically
all of the route hard-xurfaced.
and with all of the roadway
in good shape for all-weather travel,
motorists are using it twelve
months in the year. Between Montreal
and Asheville there are only
miles yet to he hard-surfaced.
, Travelers hr.vr coma to realize that j
construction of mountain highways
has become so perfect that it is j
no more dangerous motoring thnn
?n level ground
It was early In 1 4 when ltoscoe
Marvel told a little group of good
road enthusiasts gathered at the
Kcnilworth Inn that it wjs time
for th<? motorinc tourist to he informed
of a route of scenic grandeur
unsurpassed on the American
continent; that he had spent days,
weeks and months Investigating
md exploring the connecting links
Itul laid before them u survey
which he claimed was fea .hie ail
the way from Cnn.idi ?n the north
o the Gulf of Mexico on tin south,
t'harlea E. Davis, president of tiie
National Highways Association, after
checking up on th? proposed
Appalachian Scenic Highway. is
quoted as saying that it will eventually
develop Into the most popular
route and best traveled highway
In Eastern America Two
years have passed and the prediction
is more thnn verified. Hundreds
of motorists are using this
route between the North and South
now. whether their destination be
directly on tlic ASH or not.
I~ist fall and winter hundreds of
motorists en route to Florida found
in using the ASI1 a most delightful
diversion from the beaten paths of
I previous Journeys southward and
northward
By stopping over a few days in
. Asheville. tiie motorist Is advised
that he can make many little journeys
and interesting side trip? lo
i nearby scenic points such as Mount
Mitchell. Chimney Rock Plsgnh.
anil llumhline flaM
From Canada to the North CaroIlnal
line the entire route follows
the mountain range mostly on the
.-rest the same as it does through
II North Carolina. From Asheville.
I south, the roads are now hardsurfaced
to a point below Waynesville,
N. C.. and all roads between
that point and Atlanta are now i
ither hard-surfaced or under coni
structlon. with the assurance that
they will be completed by this fall.
South of Atlanta most of the roads
I are either paved, graveled, good
sand-clay, or under construction.
By the time the winter tourist
i travel begins to turn southward. It
Is hoped that the entire distance
Into New Orleans can be traversed
In comfort and without danger of
delay by reason of bad roads. The
few remaining stretches of questionable
roads in Alabama are rapIdly
being eliminated.
The most remarkable feature of
the Appalachiin Scenic Highway,
the feature which puts It In the
