You have heard much of the South Atlantic Coastal Highway that has been approved for Federal Aid and which puts Elizabeth City and neighboring towns squarely on an approved national tourist route between the North and South. Here then is the first reproduction of the map of this highway in any local newspaper. Note that at Fredericksburg, Va., the route splits, giving the tourist the choice of two routes between Fredericksburg and Wilmington, N.C. The tourist will of course take that route richest in historic and scenic interest, if the towns and cities along that route provide attractive hotel accommodations. We have the scenery and historic interest, but—You say it.
