Woman's Missionary Confer, ence. Diversion of Traffic Possible Due to Construction Worli From Raleif(h to Cary Fear that rebuilding the road on U. S. Highway No. 1 from Raleigh some seven miles south toward Cary would divert traffic away from the Sandhills this winter prompted the Southern Pines Chamber of Com. merce to communicate with State Highway Department officials early this week, with these results: Chairman Capus Waynick of the Highway Commission said he believ. ed it would be necessary to close the road and detour traffic over a dirt road for some four miles, but that a sign would be placed at Hen. derson routing traffic for the Sand, hills via Oxford and Durham. Highway Commissioner James Hardison said he was of the under, standing the road would not have to be completely closed, but traffic main, tained by the one.way flag system, avoiding the necessity of a detour. He understood the contract called for the road being kept open. Efforts were being made yester. day to get in touch with the chief engineer. The Chamber of Com. merce is anxious to avoid a detour if possible, but if unavoidable to ar_ range a detour that will not mean the diversion of traffic south via other routes which would cut off this section. The road will be under con. struction throughout the winter sea. son. The matter will probably come up at a meeting of the Highway Commission the week of November 1st. The All.States Association of Southern Pines will have a social and get.to.gether at the Park View Ho. tel on Tuesday evening, October 22nd at 7:30 o’clock. There will be a short entertain, ment, games and cards and light refreshments. Everybody is invited whether a member or not. A sil. ver offering will be taken to help de. fray expenses.
