(Vtni'da i.- now linked v.i.h the Gulf of Mexico by a rev, international artery for met??r tour. designated as the Applackr, S< c.nic Highway. It follow! th? ere 1 of the Appalachian Mountain Re; ;, and is concecded to be the lot;*, diste. i l wonder tour of Eastern Amcri a. Travelers have recently nade the trip in record time from Montreal to Atlanta a d Florida . oint.-. Ih.s r? te is now 85 per cent hard-surfaced d i- 100 miles the shortest paved highway between the points. Motorists declare that the "ASH ' is destined to become the most popular North and South allweather route available through the Extern j.oition of the L'nitc-d States. Thousands of tourists will now for the fir?t time ns? this new "ri! bon of concrete"' from the territoiy of Montreal and Quebec on the St. Lawrence River to Taiuyn and New Or.e. .9 on the Gulf of Mexico. The ASH route is of . rinllj designated as one of the best long distance paved highway? in the United States. It traverses and connects the prominent motor vacationists* playgrounds of Eastern Ai erica/ Many of the piincipal points of scenic interest are on or neaby the ASH route, including the proposed National Parks in Virginia and Western N rth Carolina. Long distance traveler:- destined to any point in any of ti -thirteen states traversed by the ASH "can use this paved route the greater portion of the distance to reach any desired destination. From North to South, the ASH touches the fallowing points; Quebec, Montreal, Plvattsburg, Lake Chainplain, Burlington, Lake DunraoTe, Rutland, Lake George, Glens Falls, Saratoga Springs, Schenectady, Al bany, h.nglinmton, Scranton, Sunbury, Harrisburg, Gettysburg, Bristol, Johnson City, Burnsville, Aslnville, Waynesvillo, Bryson City, Murphy, Rlairs\i)Ic, Gainesville, Lawrenceville, Stor.e .Mountain and Atlanta, with diverging routes to Tampa and New Orleans. It will be surprising to many that a straight line drawn from Quebec to Pensacolu on n map of the United States will prove almost identical with the route of the ASH. The ASH i9 composed of links approved by the Committee of the American Highway Commis>ion for Mai king Federal Highways. No other highway in Eastern Aemrica contains so many miles of paved roads. Plans are being made to eliminate the few missing links in the highways, and shortly the ASH route will be a continuous hard surfaced road free from dust. (Jro sing the ASH are twenty important East and West Highways, a.l ?.f which will prove valuable feeders of the ASH Roscoe Marvel, Manager of the Kenilworth Inn, Ashoville, North Carolina, is President of the Appalachian Scenic Highway Association. Several years ago, when he began assembling fragments of paved Noith and South highways in an effort to form the ASH route, he stated that one of the primary purposes of the Associn- ' tion was to make neighbors of our distant friends and to unite them in ' the work of community development. The Association, therefore, feels that it is impossible to benefit or.e community without helping the other. Its [ mission is to induce the largest num-: ber of motorists possible to use the j ASH, thus giving the cities, towns I and communities along the route, in- | creased patronage and closer relation- j ship with other people of Eastern ' America. One of the very honest de- j sires is to develop the great mountain ' playgrounds of Eastern America, and thus connect the great Canadian play-' grounds with those of Southern States j I rrufeti orth Carolina, Serving a lai IV.
