At this time it is practicable to drive to Asheville and Atlanta from Montreal or Quebec over an 85 per cent dustless highway. In a recent public speech, Hon. John N. Holder, Highway Commissioner of Georgia, stated that by 1927 a paved highway would be completed from Atlanta to the Florida line. A portion of this is already paved and is now ready for motorists. IThe ASH is a trail of sconic grand- | our, paralleling stately rivers and (emerald lakes, through the quiet, pastoral lowlands and the "Land of the Slcy", where mountain peaks recede into distances the eye cannot fathoon. It is a raarvleous trail of superb senary and appalling grandeur. It traverses the land of the eager lover of nature.

These attractions start the moment you get on any portion of the ASH, and for its entire distance there is a labyrinth of startling water falls, precipitous mountain tops and wonderful formations of Nature, such as the caves of the Shenandoah Valley and the rock formations of Western North Carolina. It would take a magic pen to halfway describe the kaleidoscopical wonders and delights to be fciumd in every ten mile stretch. The Appalachian Scenic Highway passes Lake Champlain, Lake Dunmore, skirts the Berkshire Hills and Lake George by Saratoga Springs, Wilkes-Barre, Gettysburg, and through the internationnllv famnu* the Great Smokies; thence through the magnificant Nantehalla Gorge, over the beautiful mountains of North Georgia, by Neal Gap, Stone Mountain, through the fruit and cotton regions' of Georgia, and into the Gulf Coast section of Florida and Louisiana. | There is scarcely a mile of the | route but that is rich in history, in romance and in scenery which can ! hardly be duplicated. Enroute we pass many world famed attractions, and at one point the road is paved with marble for several miles. At another it passes over a roadbed rich in gold. The pre posed Shenandoah and Great Smoky National Parks and ton established National Forests and Same Preserves border this highway The tourist traveling purely foi pleasure could easily spend an entir< summer on the Appalachian Sceni< Highway and then not exhaust th< outstanding points of interest. It is said that the ASH offers inort miles of hard-surfaced road than anj ithe** route to Florida from Nev England, New York, Pennsylvanii and Ohio.
