DECEMBER 1. 1959 FIVE CENTS PER COPY NO. ALL THE WAY TO MAINE — Many theories have abounded locally as to why the new Inter state 95 has been lined, on both sides, with a closed fence which will eventually extend all the way to Maine. The basic answer given out from the highway department: to keep fast traffic on the highway from contending with interlopers from the sides. This “controlled access” highway is a relatively new concept.

Wesley and other parade officials are hoping that the 5:05 northbound passen ger train will be early or at least an hour late because it’s due just five minutes after the parade is to start.But even a train won’t be able to dim the beauty and gai ety of the occasion, said Wesley...

And with each schedule, the tlfree-c.ontinertt journey unfolded as a story of almost unbelievable expenditure of energy on the President’s part; unbelievable in the sense that most men 09 years old and with a background of three major illnesses in the last four years would not dream ot racing across the world in the Eisenhower manner. Not only will Eisenhower follow a rugged schedule in each coun try on his itinerary. He will start his trip with a major speech to the American people Thursday night just before takeoff, and speak to them again shortly after his return Dec. 22. One Basic Message Why this back-breaking ac tivity? Associates of the Presi lent said he’s tired of hear ng that the Communists ar* ahead not only in the race iuta space, but in the battle for men's minds He thinks the time is over due for visiting a number of countries where no American president has ever ventured. He will speed by jet half way around the world with one basic , message: If the free nations want to stay free, they’d better stick together. While he’s away, he wants the American people to understand that they have a stake in world pace, too. Hence his pre-depart ure press conference Wednesday and the speech Thursday night just before takeoff when he will discuss not only his journey but the steel dispute at home.

Nerve Pressing Against Brain Backyard Stores Owner Hospitalized Thurman Moore, who had his i own store in the backyard as a kind of occupational therapy, won’t be able to help his pat rons for awhile. Hospitalized 10 times since he was struck by spinal meningitis at the age of eleven, the 24-year old Erwin youth is under treat ment for a nervd condition at State Hospital.

Vote Nearing On Fire Code The city council is on the verge of adopting a new fire prevention code, especially aimed at explos ive materials used in some busi ness operations. i Though primarily designed to enforce safety provisions on new or relocating firms, the code will also provide for a system of re i gular fire inspections. City Manager A B. Uzle.
