Sunday. South Fork Union church has just been constructed at the new location near, and facing, Piney Creek high school. The public is cordially invited to attend and hear these ministers discuss the scriptures. The Golden Rule is very old, ’tie true; but with so little use it’s just as good as new. *•. - "V ' JriTirt Parkway Work (continued from front page) North Carolina end of the project should be held up until the Vir ginia ease is setde.d, the project will he delayed for at least four months and probably longer as the court must first decide whether it will entertain an appeal. If it does, the appeal will have to be argued and decided, a process usually requiring two or three months and sometimes longer. Senator Josiah W. Bailey took the matter up with government officials before leaving Washing ton Friday night and Senator Rob ert R. Reynolds and Representa tive Robert L. Doughton Satur day interested themselves in the matter. It is hoped that a favorable decision will be given by the time the bids are opened at Roanoke on Wednesday. One cause for haste, however, has been removed. The Presi oent, in an executive order made public today, removed all possi bility of funds lapsing on June 16 by extending all functions of the PWA for two more years under authority of the work re lief act. The extension is believed to forc-shocow removal of the recent ban against grants only to states and their political subdivisions as the order permits “grants as the the order permits “grants or loans or both.” The first section of the Scenic highway to be let for contract passes from the Virginia line through Alleghany county, about six miles from Sparta, or about halfway between Sparta and Roaring Gap. Engineers have been located here .for some time surveying and establishing a defi nite right-of-way. This survey has been very extensive and is symbolic of the enormous under taking that the highway presents. The average citizen of the county, it is believed, has not grasped the significance of the decision to construct the parkway through this section. Among the many phases to be considered, the completed appearance of the high way is one of the first. The highway, as described by engineers in authority, who have visited in Sparta will be from 600 to 1,200 feet, according to the topography of the land. The width of the actual surfacing will be 80 feet and the remainder of the width will be developed with flowers, shrubs and trees in a way to enhance the natural beauty of the scenery. On these margins no buildings of any type, including service stations, will be allowed. No roads will be al lowed to cross the parkway, and wnere highways intersect, under or over passes will be construct ed. Only at very specified lo cations will traffic be allowed to enter the parkway. This will facilitate the maximum of speed that may be maintained on the great road. The right-of-way will include a major portion of many farms and many buildings which lie in its path. These will be confiscat ed but the state is expected to provide sufficient compensation for the damage done. The construction of such an enormous project will be expected to provide employment for a number of people- It is under stood that there will be 18 bridges constructed in the 12-mile section that is to first be let. This is indicative of the amount of work entailed. Another benefit the county may expect to derive is the introduc tion of tourists from many states which is recognized as a decided advantage to any place. Contractors have for several days been going over the location and studying the maps and blue prints which have been placed in the office of V. W. Reeves, Regis ter of Deeds, in order to deter mine the amount of the bid they may submit. It is hoped that the actual con struction may begin at once. Normally every duty of life brings happiness, and in propor tion to its importance; but should never be performed for the sake of happiness. | Marriages COX—HALSEY Miss Mattie Elisabeth Halsey and Othier Guy Cox. of Smyth county, Va., were married on Saturday, June 8, in the Court House in Sparta. Justice of the Peace C. W. Edwards, performed the ceremony. Mrs. Cox is. the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Halsey, Piney Creek, and Mr. Cox is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Sam Cox. SHERIFF IRWIN HONORED ON BIRTHDAY OCCASION About sixty friends and re latives of Sheriff Walter M. Irwin gathered at his home Monday night in celebration of his 40th birthday, which falls on June 11. Each family juried a basket and a picnic supper was spread on a long table on the lawn. A light had been placed over the table, and when all the food had been arranged it was a spectacular display. An enormous and handsome birthday cake, bearing 40 pink candles around the first tier and the words “Happy Birthday” on the top, graced the center of the table. On either side, ranging down the length of the table, were sand wiches, pickles, meats, pies and cakes of every description, not the least of which was a huge chicken pie, and in' such quantities that they withstood well the onslaught of the hungry guests. At one end of the table was placed the generous number of presents which demonstrated the affection and esteem which is felt, generally, toward the sheriff. After a very enjoyable evening the guests departed, wishing Mr. Irwin many more happy birthdays.
