( i , For a number of years The Journal has c-..located a direct highway across the state from South Carolina to Tennessee,, traversing the length of Jack.-?, a county, from Cashiers Valley to the Swain county J jc, thrice "up the Ocona Lufta, through rlie Cherokee Jii -iai laads, to the Tennessee state line. *That would be a magnificent, scenic highvay, of in calculable value to Jackson county. It would be worth vastly more than its co?tto the state. It would b<* the making of Jackson county, and of a ricj. and im portant part of Swain. Along it would be.uery and interesting places, new, alluring and different, that are not to be alioiticd by Other routes. This ha. been our contention. Now come? Mr. IIugL C. Mid diet on, of Aug ta, point ing out, in The Augusta Chronicle, that such a Jad, front, Augusta, via Sylva. to Knoxville would short?.ii the dis tance from Anglic.a, Jaeiuxnviilc and other Southern cities to Knoxville and the middle West, by seventy five n-iles or :;:e:v. and would be a great trur.]. hisrksvay, of importance to even: city and town through which it would pass, and to a large part of the South and of the middle Wist. Through Highlands, by "Whiteside, through Cjshl'r's Valley, across the Blue Ridge, down the Tuckaseigee, by Sylva, and through the Cherokee Reserration. ih^ road would pciktfate the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and or into Knoxville, Ljushilie. ?"*? cinnati, and "Chicago,, shortening the distance from the cities of AtignMa. "Jacksonville, and numei ors o;V. r important ScntlvVn cities pnd towns to Kno vilie J;v more than 75 miles, putting them at the very'edge of the great Naional Park, and rnaVilf i> fain to ike m tire Sooth vastly greater. Can nayma* iamgjmm a Mode road of more importance, of greater ?hn, of mow fa describable,beauty and awe inspiring gnadferf Is there a single highway projection of more direst importance to so many people? The task is not so great as would at first appear, for the reason hat eveiy foot of it, in Norh Carolina is on the original state highway map. Most of it is now inj use. All but 12 miles of North Carolina's part is either already completed, or is now under construction, leav-j ing only 12 mile., that from Revensford to .the top of I the Smokies, to be graded. Through this state, the route would come to Highlands, and from there would fol low No. 28, now being maintained by the state, to Cash ier's Valley, whore it would enter and follow NoJ.06, now in use, state maintained, arid being surfaced as fast as possible, to Syha, where it would enter the state's greatest highway. No. 10, and follow it, over road now paved, to Ela Farm Ela to Kavensford the road is now state maintained to Kavensford, leaving only the 12 miles, already me.itionad, to be graded. In S.onth Carolina and Georgia, the task of making highways of those states would even be easier. The task for Tennessee would only be to meet North Carolina at j the top of the Smokies, with about equal distance to build. Really it is easy, just a few little links to con neet up the whole, and the most marvelous of all the highways is a fact. y ? The Journal suggests that the Sylva Chamber of (Jbm merco call a meeting, early in the summer and invite the civic bodies of all the cities aijd towns affected to; cievt with us here and get behind the construction of this highway, that means money and pleasure to all of us. The people, of the 4 Southeastern Seabord want the Park. It is as much theirs,as ours, and a road that will plr.ee them at. its doors, will intensify their interest and increase .the vaue of lie National Park to some mil lions of Americans, and at the same time afford a route for the Middle Westerners, through the Park, when they journey Southward for the winter. It can be done. . / Keep your feet on the Ground Western North Caro ffna. Sell, when the price is lair1. Buy when the price is ; i;r..
