Caine This magazine believes that it voices the hope of every auto ist in this section and elsewhere when it urges the Asheville Auto mobile Club and kindred bodies to lend every effort to the project which looks to the completion of the proposed river road from Asheville to Marshall. Certainly no money could be better ex pended in the line of auto highways, forming, as it would, an easy road for travel along a route of rare scenic beauty, to say nothing of the completion of a link of communication which would be of incalculable value from art economic and commercial point of view. This road, if carried to completion,, would constitute the most pepular link of the Knoxville-Ash'jville highway and would un doubtedly greatly increase the volume of tourist travel from Cin natti, Louisville and other points north. ' V Then, too, the people, of Marshall and Madiscn County are en- . titled to some consideration in that tney have spared neither time nor money in the effort to reach the goal of their ambition. There now runs from Marshall to Hot Springs an automobile highway that will compare favorably with any in the 3 mth, and there is every reason to believe that the completion of the river route from Asheville would be speedily followed dx a greatly improved highway from Hot Springs to Knoxville. V Nor need we believe that making the river road fnto Madison county an accomplished fact would be detrimental in the least to the highways now reaching Asheville via other routes ?

Asneviwe wouiu ue one ui rare scunic peauiy, easy oi imvei, ana carrying an irresistible appeal to the tourist. The modern auto mobile highway, in sections that cater to the tourist industry, is not undertaken with a view to commercial advantages alone. Were this the case, many sections of the United States which today en joy a large measure of popularity among American tourists would still be buried in that rural obscurity which -was their portion be fore the advent of the automobile. The people of Madison County ed a direct route along the French visioned a scenic boulevard linking tain metropolis, and the people tof Ashevil)e, through the commer cial bodies, can very well assist then in the effort. Diversion magazine understands that the citizens of Marshall have' joined the Asheville Motor club in large numbers, relying on the explicit promise of tangible support in the movement which looks to the completion of the river route under discussion, and we have little doubt that the promise so made wijrt be redeemed. n We hear many pleas nowadays the counties of Western North Oorolina, Prom time to time char ges, though often baseless, have ' been,, 'made to the effect that Asheville is mindful only, of herself in matters ilJat pertain to the promotion of the tourist industry in We stem North Carolina. Here then, is an opporunity to prove that Asiieville does not stand brick when asked to co-operate in the advancement "and progress uf ' i '"'''.v .i , have lone and earnestly desir Broad to Asheville They have them more closely to the moun for closer co-operation between I I 8 I I : S - ' , .I 5 The Wholesale House Of Shelton & Ebbs Company now Occupied By : Shelton Tweed Company.

Let us reflect for a moment that the completion of the river ; road mm as muchto Asheville aa it does to- MadiaonrCounty ': even more. . Laying aside all altruistic ideas, we can consider' the certainty, that every dollar along the French Broad will come Looking on a less sordid side of the prospect, we may find some ' incentive in the promotion of more neighborly feelings between the people of two sections whose interests should be as one.. Big Demand for One-ton Trucks Double Ford Sales Motorization of 4 delivery and hauling system in the cities and through agricultural sections where improved highways have greatly facilitated transportation continues to increase at a rapid pace. One ton trucks will lead, in popularity by a wide margin. This is strikingly shown in the sales of Ford trucks, the demand for which has more than doubled the sales of a year ago. During the first fou' months of this year, the Ford Motor Com pany delivered at retail in the United States a total of 59,978 Trucks, 31,682 more than were sold during the same period 'last year. The Ford Motor Company dur ing the week ending Tuesday, May 15th, set up a new produc tion record by turning out 39,303 Cars and Trucks for domestic use, it is announced by The Ford News, i TJiis exceeds by 250 the previous high weekly record of 39,953 established the week be fore. '- . The highest day xf the last week was May 9th when a new daily production mark of 6,6 1 5 cars and trucks was reached. At River Rouge thes Fordson Tractor plant's production for the week was 2,940.
