This Epiphany service symbolizes the manifestation of Christ to the Western World with its missionary emphasis of giving the Light of Christ to everyone.

This Is Location Of 1-40 From Old Fort To Asheville ; the routs which has been approved by the Federal Bureau of Roads and the 3 one which will be followed with minor changes here and there, for engineer ing reasons. The News has no idea whore any of these changes will be made. , You will note that the new . super road, as reported in former issues of the News, ’ will swing south at the east ’ ern edge of Black Mountain, ’ cross the railroad in the vi " cinity of the bluff on the south side of the tracks, and “ pass over N. C. Highway No. ' 9 slightly south of the Key City Laundry. A detailed map of the area s was shown at a public hear a ing held at the court house in Asheville several weeks ago. At that time many res idents were able to determine just how close the new road would come to their property. Many surveys were made in this area before the final route was decided upon and the engineering reports pre pared for submission to the Federal Bureau of Roads which must approve since the U. S. Government furnishes RO per cent of the funds for thi^ type highway. No indication has been given that the schedule for this link of 1-40 will be moved up. Target date for comple tion of this last section of the super road remains 1972. Plans call for the State High way Commission to start acquiring the right-of-way in 1965 and for construction to start in 1967. It will be open ed to the public in 1972. The Black Mountain Cham ber of Commerce is still work ing and doing all possible to have the fourth lane added to U.S. 70 from Black Moun tain to the tunnel.
