The map of the super highways as recommended leaves the great industrial Piedmont section of North Carolina with out adequate outlets to other sections of the country important in the scope of raw materials as well as manufactured prod ucts. The proposed plan is to have one across the eastern part of the state through Rocky Mount, Wilson, Fayetteville and Lumber- ton. Another would pass through Hen derson, Durham, Greensboro, Charlotte and on south to Spartanburg, S. C. Another would be from Winston-Salem by States ville and Hickory to Asheville and on to Knoxville, Tenn. There would also be a link from Asheville to Spartanburg. A person familiar with the map of North Carolina does not have to be shown that the proposed plan has no super highway from the heart .of the industrial section of North Carolina to the midwest. H you were going from Winston-Salem, Greens boro, High Point or some other Piedmont city in North Carolina to the coalfields of West Virginia, to the industrial centers of Cincinnati, Cleveland, Chicago, Detroit or any other great midwest city, and you were going by way of the proposed super high ways, you would go hundreds of miles out of the way of the most direct route. We realize that a super highway could not cross every county, or touch every sec tion of the state, but it seems preposter ous from our point of view that to travel from Winston-Salem to Chicago by super highway would mean either going all the way northeastward to Richmond, Va., be fore starting toward Chicago, or going all tte way southwest and west to Asheville and Knoxville before heading in the proper direction. Routing of the super highways is more than a matter of community concern as to whether or not any county is served by one. It is of major importance to the en tire state. One reason why North Carolina has no major seaport is because there are no rail facilities in a direct northwest wardly direction across the state to the coal producing areas and to the great in dustrial and agricultural midwest. The proposed routing of the super high ways would iMVe the rtate^ handicap of highway now holds back the state from tte stand point of rail transportation. Why make the same mistake with the routing of super ^*^*hidu8trial center of North Carolina certainly should have a super^hway oa the most direct route to the that route should begin at Wilmington and cross the state in a northwest diction similar to the route followed by Highway 421, which begins at Wilmington and crosses the state by Greensboro, Winston-Salem, North Wdkes- boro and Boone. That is the general direc tion of a super highway needed for ^e fullest possible development of North. Carolina, industrially and agriculturally, — mOHOL^ ■'.'ir vim tae ttSIfi early War Casualties Those of us who gripe at minor difficul ties brought on by the war should take a look at the casualty figures. The latest report on casualties in this war gave the following figures: Killed, 244,810; wounded, 639,046; missing, 47,- 734; prisoners, 121,500; total, 1,053,101. In those figures lie the real cost of the war ir. terms of human values. No sacri fice, whatever it may be, can be compared with life itself. It would do us all good to pause occa sionally amid our griping and self-pity, and give consideration to the fact that those whose lives are gone or who have given of their blood for the cause of free dom and justice deserve the real credit. No matter how hard you have worked, no matter how much you have given to the Red Cross and other agencies, no mat ter how many bonds you have purchased, you have done nothing in comparison with the sacrifice of those who lie buried in Europe, or in the distant cemeteries of thej bloody battlegrounds in the Pacific. 9 LIFE’S BETTER WAY WALTER E. ISENHOUR Hiddenite, N. C. A LIFE OF BEAUTY A life beauty—that should be The aim of all mankind; For in so living we can see Uplift of soul and mind; And light that shines in splendor rare To lead the way to God, That men may Heaven’s blessing share As through the world they plod. A life of beauty’s made of love. Of goodness, joy and peace; Of holiness from God above Whose glory ne’er shall cease; And such a life will shine and glow When sun and moon shall fade; And as the ages come and go ’Twill be but grandeur made. A life of beauty’s filled with prayer, O noble words and deeds; Is never empty, fruitless, bare. But sows the best of seeds; And these bring forth a harvest great, Etoriching other souls. And help to rid the world of hate. And bring men to their goals. A life of beauty—well, ’tis kind, It’s gentle, humble, sweet; By God’s pure love it is refined And for His service meet. ’Tis not adornment from without- The putting on of things— But is to know, beyond a doubt, The grace which Jesus brings. waM aavar Mak Mu( Prt jMcyh Dernier CtaMNl IB the I. iMMi Mm ttqr Mftwed a Oermu i mil Oa im0 1 he weighel U4 of rrekoala, Wii., ehowe above u he oefeora (left) of HIM BUM who to hhewe at right, a bag ef-boeea, aa gvtoea eanp rriMre he wee held.

Specialist Issues Garden Reminders A heavy demand for food crops still exists, and farmers may be gin a few garden practices which will Increase the supply of fresh vegetables for the fall and winter months, according to H. R. Nls- wonger, horticultural specialist of the State College extension serv ice. Niswonger suggested that plant ings of the following vegetables In August and July should result In an increased amount of these crops: Set out plants of broccoli, Chi nese cabbage, tomatoes, cauliflow er and celery In July. If plants are not available, the seed of these vegetables, except celery, can be sown directly In the garden row and the plants thinned to stand IS Inches apart In the row. In August, plant seed of endive, turnips, rutabagas, rape, mus tard, Seventop turnips, or the hogoln variety for greens and leaf lettuce. Collsrd seed can also be planted thinly in the gar den row or In hills and plants tuihned to stand 18 Inches apart. Use the thinned plants for early greens. Make a note of a new leaf let tuce variety to be added to your list of vegetables for next year. It is called lobolt, a variety de- velopeu by the U. S. Department of Agriculture^ Seed will be of fered for sale by seedmen in 1946. This variety does not go to seed quickly In hot weather knd can be cut for a period of several weeks. It to spaced In the roW 10 to 12 Inches apart and harvested by taking the lower Imvee. If yon planted celery seed in Jnne es enggMted in a previous garden reminder, the plants should be set In the garden around August 1.

At the same time he proposed a group of recreational developments for the park and parkway ares, announcing plans of the state commission for road projects In connection with these proposed f ederal undertakings. Number one cohstructlon pri ority was asked by Graham for that section of the parkway to run from Balsam Gap to Soco Gap, a dlsUnce of about 12 miles. "We consider this one of the most out standing and necessary projects on the whole parkway," the high way chairman said. "North Carolina’s side” in the need for road development In the national park area was fully pre- sehted by state and Western Carolina leaders, the plea being made to park service officials that complete development of the play ground and parkway be "made In our time."
