This fact was clearly demonstrated about a week ago when a vehicle overturned across the high way between Marshall and Walnut blocking traffic for about 15 minutes. The accident occurred about 7:,'U) o'clock at right. In LESS than ,'iO minutes ap proximately 7.1 heavy vehicles (mostly tractor-trailers) were waiting on EACH SIDE of the accident for the wreck to be moved so traffic could resume. Imagine, some 150 tractor-trailers, in addition to automobiles, lining the highway in LESS THAN 30 MINUTES. If ever there was a need for a better highway to accommodate the constant heavy traffic as well as motorists driving automobiles, it is Highway 25-70. It's deplorable to try to drive from Asheville to Ten nessee on this highway and expect to make fairly reasonable speed. The antiquated, curvy, steep and dangerous highway surely encourages tourists to stay away from this section of the state. No one likes to drive at "snail-like" pace as this section of high way necessitates. Surely the State Highway Commission is aware of this condition. With North Carolina seeking to attract more industry and increase tourism, it is a shame that a highway as heavily used as US 25-70 has had so little improvement , in the p&t 40 yeafrs except for a few passing' lanes near Hot Springs and the Marshall By-Pass. It is our understanding that Tennessee is anxious to meet North Carolina with a much wider and mod ern highway. We have also understood that a new section between Hot Springs and the Tennessee line is almost a certainty in the near future. Talk is gen erally circulated that a new section of highway is anticipated between Asheville-Weaverville and Wea-verville-Marshal! By-Pass. This is great and should be done at the earliest possible date. But, what about the "bottleneck" between the Marshall By-Pass and Hot Springs? A few passing lanes are not the answer to encourage or take care of increasing traffic. Experts have stated that the problem could and should be solved by the re-location of Highway 25-70 from a point near Walnut to Hot Springs parallel with the French Broad River. The sooner something is done the quicker West ern North Carolina will benefit. In fact, the entire state would greatly benefit by a better highway. We urge the State Highway Commission to make every effort along this line as quickly as possible. -0O0- NICKELS FOR KNOW-HOW We have a particular reason for calling your attention to agricultural advances at this time. Be cause this year, farmers have a lot in common, espe cially during November. And November the NINE TEENTH, to be more specific. Keep that date in mind, if you will, while you read on. Do you irrigate your tobacco? Have you ever heard a farm extension program from N. C. State? As a poultryman, do you benefit when disease losses are reduced? Do better practices help your, crop? fpld you like to see mastitis eliminated as a threat to dairy cattle? ' If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, '' you were also saying "thank you" to a uniqu4elf help program known as "Nickels for Know-How!" And these questions were random samples from an imposing list of outstanding contributions made to agriculture through "Nickels for Know-How." If you use feed or fertilizer, and are interested enough, you'll vote in the North Carolina "Nickels for Know-How" referendum November 19. Some 2,500 polling places will be set up across the State to accommodate voters. A vote on the plan must be held every three years. It works like this: A nickel is collected by NCDA for every ton of feed and" fertilizer bought by the pub lic. The nickels are collected from the Manufactur ers, so you're not bothered by paying an extra nickel or penny each time you buy some feed' or fertilizer. the money is a contribution, not a tax, because an get a refund if you desire. But it costs the Douglas Gordon Randolph, AA, USN, son of Mr. and Mn.

Birth Certificates For Driver's License Now Necessary Tar Heel youngsters got the word this week from the Motor Vehicles Department: Birth certi ficates will bo required for all. Commissioner Edward Scheldt said the new rule would become effective November 1. Local Examiner Doyce G. Mr- Clure said the new regulation is in keeping with the Provisional Li censee Law passed by the 1963 General Assembly. "For some time, the depart ment has recognized the need for ' birth certificates", McClude said, "in order to obtain a correct name j and date of birth. In the past we have found it necessary some times to correct or cancel applica tions upon learning that incorrect information had been given." An official birth certificate will eliminate ; tm situations which are embarrassing and tend to create misunderstanding, the examiner said.

GRADE TOBACCO CAREFULLY The Government support price on a mixed crop of tobacco can not be as high as on a crop that is graded properly. The compa nies have indicated that they are looking for tobacco that is prop erly graded. This means that tbe farmer who does a good job of stripping, sorting, grading, and preparing for market can expect the high dollar for his crop. More burley tobacco than ever before is being bought by foreign buyers. They insist that the crops be graded properly. Last year, an additional six million pounds was moved to foreign markets. This will give a boost to our bur ley markets. are River Beats H. $., 12-6 CHANNEL 10 IS NOW FULL POWER Operation with full power from the world's tallest tower has been announced by John P.

It wasn't a chuck hole Sprague had run into, but a por tion of the paved street slowly collapsed under his car, dropping the car 8 feet to the bottom. Sprague, his wife and 8-year-old son jumped from the car as it be gan dropping and no one was hurt.
