'When the Weathet lets up and the roads can be used with .more certainty it is eapoctod that the sale of new tags will show a sharp upward trend. Generally improved business conditions and the reduction in price of tags from 65 to 40 cents per hundredweight were attribut ed as the cause for the increase in number sold here, especially during the early days in January and the last week in December. The price reduction, however, ap plies only to private passenger 1 automobiles and not to commer- ! cial cars.

Heavy snows, sub-zero weather, and frequent rainfall have disintergrated what surface the dirt roads may have had that would have stood up and remaln- ! t‘d passable under normal weath- 1 er conditions. The individual school units in rural districts where no buses are used have been operating practi- c.-.lly all of the time with fair at- ttmdance but operation of buses on dirt roads has been almost a phy.slical impossibility. School authorities are hoping for ordinarily good weather and large attendance when schools reopen. So far this year there have been no epidemics of disease to keep children from school and the health department reports a very small number of communi cable di.seases in the county. J.

Scenic Parkway Officially Named By Interior Head Secretary Ickes Designates Road “Blue Ridge Parkway” The scenic parkway to con nect Shenandoah and Smoky Mountains national parks has been officially named Blue Ridge Parkway by Harold C. Ickes, sec retary of the interior. The name was given the scenic boulevard because it will follow the main ridge formation of the Blue Ridge between the two na tional parks through the finest scenic section of eastern Ameri ca.

A. F. Kilby is in charge of the office to give out application blanks and assist iu filing appli cations. A stenographer is em ployed to do the clerical work. This service, maintained joint ly by the Legion and the Red Cross, will be maintained for on ly one month and veterans whir' wish to avail themselves of the free service should do so right away. Notwithstanding the fact that there are around 800 veterans in the county, less than 200 have filed so far. However, it is pre sumed that many have secured blanks from other sources and sent them in. It Is important that veterans bring their discharges and state ments of loans on adjusted^com pensation certificates when ap plying for-payment, which will be made in baby bonds and cash about midsummer. in'ffilng eral returns.
