Ickes. secretary of th' inter ior, today formally announced his decision in favor of the North Carolina route to connect, by scenic highway, the Shenandoah and the Great Smoky Mountains national park, a project the cost of which is now estimated at $16.- 000,000 but which will probably call, eventually, for a greater outlay. The announcement of Secre tary Ickes took the form of a press memorandum, to which was attached copies of l“tters sche duled to reach the governors of North Carolina and Tennessee to day. the press notice and letters presenting the Skyway project comprehensively, anrt providing for North Carolina an excellent and wholly adequate brief, for the secretary stressed points which he f^’lt spokesmen for the state had given only cursory at tention. Mr. Ickes was apparently mov- el by the fear that Tennessee, with an entrance to the park al ready assured a t Gatlinburg, would one day run the risk of be ing considered a road hog if pres ent aspirations were realized; there was the conclusion that the North Carolina route possessed infinitely the greater merit, scen- ically, and would one day serve as .a logical link in that still greater concept, a national sky- wav that would travei-se the’^vast territory- extending from the White Mountains of New- Eng land, to the region of the Stone Mount-din in Georgia. The definite location of the nark way is yet to bo in a pied, hut .Seerotarv Ick's’ order today, together with his announcement in .iuly, establishes the j)ark\vay as follow.s: Leaving the Skylani drive, which runs from the northern to southern boundary of the Shen andoah National park, the park- w-.-iv w'ill follow the main ridge formation to the .lames river. From there it will go to Adney gap just below Roanoke. Va., and then by Pinnacles of Dan and close to FanV ,gap. entering North Carolina about 10 miles northwest of Mt. Airy.

From a long range standpoint, lie proposed: A uniform system to provide security for the aged. .A method, perhaps through in surance. for providing against tlip economic loss due to sick ness. Mr. Roosevelt declared that h i s unemployment insurance plan” must be financed by con tributions, not taxes.’’ He did not expand this idea, but many of his hearers interpreted his w-ords to mean that those bene fiting w-ould be expected to con tribute the necessary funds. Under this meaning both em ployer and employee would join in advancing the money. I..abor has contended that indiistry shonld be a.ssessed for t.he en tire fund.

N. Wood stated today. Tliis rise in price to pre-de pression figures has created a spirit of optimism among the farmers that indicat“s still fuT’ ther development of dairy farm ing in the county. Soon after the cheese plant was Jqcated nere the' actual depreh-*' sion add glutted markets affected the dairying industry and buttetr fat prices hit the toboggan. ’There is every indication now that the present price can be maintafned** if busines.s conditions generally continue to have a better outlook. Although the volume of milk being manufactured by the plant here is increasing vast additional quantities can be handled and farm authorities are urging fann ers to keep more and better cows and to care for them better. Mr. Wood calls attention of the farmers to the fact that there is a substantial profit in producing milk when butterfat is 30 cents per pound, especially where the farmer manages his farm on a busines.s ba.sis and grows his own feed. The widespread use of the trench silo is lowering the keep cost of the milk cow, stated, .end manur’ from farmers’ h»rds are resulting vastly improved farms. Will De-hom Cows Mr. Wood stated further that his services are available at any time for any farmer who wish es to de-horn cows or to remodel cow bams. He will furnish plans and assist any farmers to remod el his barn into the adopted dairy type, which is arranged for con venience and for the good of the milk producing animals, ■« ap- hc the in Postoffice Work Here Progressii^ Contractors Have Finished Foundation For Handsome Structure in City Statesville, Nov. 13.— In to day’s evidence against Ralph Davis, 25, Davidson county out law. who is being tried in Iredell Superior court for the fatal shooting of Sheriff Godfrey C.
