C THURSDAY, MAY 13, 1937 (Continued from jvae 1) ion grew in profusion in Western Carolina, and especially in the sec tion the originally mapped and ap proved parkway was traversed. He asserted that the proposed al ternate route would have no scenic value of note from Asheville to the entrance of the park, and that chief purpose of routing the parkway through the Pisgah National Forest between Waynesville and Brevard was to secure a route that would eive America an opportunity to really see the wonders of this area. To change the routing, Mr. Browning emphatical ly stressed, would be to defeat the purpose of the connecting link between the two 0Tet National Parks. "Pains were taken to give Secre tary Ickes, President Roosevelt and other government officials just the "at considerable expense to the State or North Carolina, and any change irom this original route would be such a poor excuse for scenery that it had just as well be stopped altogether in my opinion. J. Q. Gilky, of Marion, who was chairman of the North Carolina Park way committee when the project was proposed, argued that it was the job of the State Highway Commission to see that the oroginal plans were car ried out, and that the matter was resting in their hands, and the peo ple were seeking leadership in the fight. Fred Weede, manager of the Ashe ville Chamber of Commerce told the commission that establishment of the parkway had been a battle between lennessee and North Carolina for years before it was finally adopted and accepted, and that unless the in terests of Western North Carolina and the state were given protection now that there was grave possibility of the terminus of the route going to Ten- nesse instead of North Carolina.

All the speakers confined their re marks to three minutes, and as a cli max to the meeting, Chas. E.

He t was oi the expressed opinion that Chair man Dunlap should go to Washington u see secretary Ickes, and said in closing that the parkway was the biggest task in the state. The Western Carolina advisory com mittee was exceptionally well pleased with the fine spirit of co-operation shown by the commission, and were too big, too great, for any one sec-, elated over the fact that two hours Sherwin-Williams PAINT HEADOUARTERS C.N.

There are but few people that I know of who do not like to make money. A lot of peo ple do not make their money honest, but nevertheless, they make and spend it. The statement of my friend has stuck with me "I like to spend money when I know that I am getting value receiv ed" The reputation of Burgin Brothers has been built on that fact "jour money's worth."

We can do nothing of material worth unless you gentlemen of the commission aid us, united as solidly as we are, and we are here today to ask your supDort." Harry Buchanhan, of Henderson- ville, explained that the 1929 legisla ture approved two million dollars for the project and that he had been giv en personal assurance in the past tw0 months that in so far as Mr, Ickes was concerned tJie routing would fol low the Pisgah National Forest line. Mr. Buchannan asked the commis sion to assist in getting survevs start ed at onse on that section west of Asheville, and that one section should be let as soon as possible in order to tie up the project for future ditures. Frank Miller, of Waynesville, form er member of the highway commis sion, estimated that cost of l ights of way for the proposed alternate route would cost the State of North Caro- lina.between sir hundred thousand and one million dollars, and this added to the already large expenditures of state monies already invested in making surveys and mapping the Pisgah For est route. Commissioner McKee told his fellow members that in his opinion the board ought to re-affirm its stand in the matter and that a delegation ought highway body. -- ----- Charlie Ross, attorney for the com mission, seemed as enthused over the project as any member of the board, and said that the question was one of grave importance, and that a check up should be made to see that funds allocated to the Blue Ridge Parkway expen- 3 Want Ads .Want Ads are one cent a word for each insertion.

Prevost, the proud owner of a 1937 Chevrolet, made a fast trip from Indianapolis last Thursday. He drove from the Indiana capital 10 Hazelwood in 12 hours, stopping two hours In Knoxville. Upon reachfng Hazelwood he found he had covered over 500 miles, and had averaged over 50 miles an hour for the trip. For this fast trip home he averaged 17 miles to the gallon. Mr. Prevost drove over 1,400 miles on the rount trip and only used one quart of oil. It took us a long time to convince Mr. P'revost that a Chevrolet was eco nomical transportation, but eince he has given his 1937 Chevrolet a thor ough test, he is comple tely sold on it. o There are Just three days left in which to take part in the clean-up, paint-up campaign by the Woman's Club.
