HIGHWAY 25-70 It is indeed gratifying to read of the vast improve ments being made in the highways throughout North Car olina. As one travels from the mountains to the coast, he can readily see the modern by-pasaes, better grades, wider surfacing and overall improvements being made. This is fine and essential in this fast progressing age. Madison County is getting some resurfacing done and surely we are most delighted about the improvements. With all these improvements, however, we wonder just why Highway 25-70 remains unimproved, unstraight ened, ungraded and unkept. Very little improvement has been made on the highway from Marshall to the Tennes see line in the past 30 years. This main artery is of pri mary importance to western North Carolina and yet it gets little attention. Cars, by the thousands, are forced to creep along behind trailer trucks at snail paces, unable to pass because of sharp curves and steep grades. In the Piedmont and eastern areas, the highways are being im proved for fast traffic and are indeed adequate for our exes increasing number of cars. More emphasis should be put on the roads in the fountain areas where tourists are seeking to travel. One of the most used highways in North Carolina Highway 25-70) is just about the same as it was thirty years ago. Motorists traveling north of Asheville, primarily in Madi son County, choose to use another route on their next trip rather than be "stalled" on the road between Marshall and the Tennessee line. ' The once beautiful two-lane paved road from Mar sfiall to Asheville is now becoming outdated due to the in creasing number of cars and trucks. This highway is also becoming badly worn and rough and needs to be widened. Let's hope that the State Highway Commission will turn its attention to our great needs before all the traffic decides to by-pass Hot Springs, Marshall and Asheville. NEXT WEDNESDAY JULY 4th Little activity is being planned for Marshall on next Wednesday July 4th although Hot Springs is wide awake and is planning on a big celebration, including fire works. This situation should be improved. People of this vicinity in years gone by, can remember when we, too, fcad doilbleheader baseball games, field day events, pic ojcjfl, and fireworks. However, regardless of the lack of celebration, we should realize the great meaning of Independence Day. Next Wednesday will be the 180th Anniversary of the declaration of Independence. Many, many people have helped mold this great na tion, such as John Marshall, who defined the Constitution and the laws; Lincoln, Washington, Lee, Wilson, the two Roosevelts, Eisenhower, and more than three hundred and fifty million people who have ever lived in these United States. Jt is the hope that all of us will help continue to shape this nation to the great design of our Founding Fathers who proclaimed it: "One Nation, under God, Indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for All."
