PLAN U. S. HIGHWAY SYSTEM
Washington, Aug. 5 ?F i f t y
thousand miles of roads, honey
combing the United States from
the Canadian border to the Gulf
Coast and from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, were selected today
by the joint board on interstate
highways as "United States High
wars'1 to be designated with uni
form road markers.
The actual grouping of these
roads into main arterial highways
was abandoned today by the full
committee which, after making
tenative designations, will submit
recommendations to the various
states for approval.
Every Federal aid highway in
the United States is included in
the system, which provides for no
thorough routes but embraces
every Rtate capital and most points
of national and sectional interest.
When the routing of the high
ways is completed, they will be
numbered so that tourists travel
ing on any road may know from
its number the territory through
which he is passing and where he
is going. The routes also will be
posted with uniform signs when
informing the traveler of curves,
railroad crossings and other con
ditions of the road.
Georgia roads designaied includ
ed two cross states highways, one
from Tallapoosa to Augusta, via
Atlanta and Greensboro: another
road from Ccla nbus to Savannah
via Macon,Dublin and Swainsboro:
one road from the Northwest to
the Southwest beginning at Ring
gold and ending at Kolkston, tak
ing in Atlanta. Knoxville, Perry.
Qazelhurst, Alma and Waycross;
another road from Atlanta to
the South Garolina border via De
catur, Winder and Danielsville,
another road from Augusta South
' via Swainsboro, Mount Vernon to
to Alma; another road from Perry
South to tlie Florida border via
Ashburn, Tifton and Valdosta and
a road from Savannah South via
Darien to Kingsland.

DOVE SEASON TO OPEN OCTOBER 16
The dove season in Georgia does
not open uMtil October 1G, State
Game and Fish Commissioner
Peter S. Twitty points out in re
sponse to inquiries from all over
the state. Until 1924, it was law
ful to shoot doves after August
1, as far as the state was concern
ed, but the clesed season was ex
tended last year to give further
protection to the birds and permit
them to eome through nesting sea
son without molestation.
Mr. Twitty has given instruc
tions to his wardens and deputy
wardens throughout the state to
rigidly enforce the law and he has
asked the newspapers to give pub
licity to the correct date for open
ing of the season. In view of the
erroneous impression that has been
furthered by reports that the sea
son got under way August l6.?
