A route that will almost be a direct shot from
Cumming to Atlanta was assured after a hearing
Wednesday in Norcross on the extension of Peach
tree Industrial Boulevard. John W. Wilkins, with the
state highway department, told about 150 people at
the hearing that since opposition to the road exten
sion was small, all that’s now required is sending a
transcript to the U.S. Bureau of Roads and awaiting
their approval for authority to proceed. Wilkins also
said right-of-way acquisitions should begin some
time this summer.

For Boy Scout Troop 39, 1964 was a busy year.
During the first part of the year, Scouts assisted in a
blood drive and fundraising activities for the heart
association, cancer society and March of Dunes. In
July, Scouts from all over the U.S. and many
foreign countries assembled at Valley Forge, Penn
sylvania for the National Jamboree. Shnnnaa Mize
represented Troop 39 of Cumming at the event. In
addition, five boys attained the highest rank in
Scouting last year. They were Butch Wills, Johnny
Marcinko, Ray Westbrook, Shannon Mize and Steve
Benson, all of whom received Eagle Scout badges.

In keeping with an original idea of a

pioneer tools that paved the road to
what’s available by way of transporta

an authentic covered wagon.
This and other topics were dis

Air Force offers Flightline ’ show
A United States Air Force theater
van, featuring aviation, will visit For
syth County High School on Wednes
day, March 6, according to Timothy P.
O’Daniel, Air Force recruiter from
Gainesville.
In addition to a study of aviation, the
van will offer a time-capsuled show
entitled “Flightlines.” This profile of
powered flight will be the main attrac
tion in the van, which will be at the
school that one day, from 8 a.m. until 3
p.m.
“Flightlines” is a 15-minute multi
image show describing the challenges
and personal triumps of six American
aviators. Following each story is a
brief look at how these aviation feats
have applied to today’s Air Force.
Viewers will relive the historic mo
ment at Kitty Hawk, N.C., when Or
ville and Wilbur Wright first achieved
controlled, powered flight. They’ll
also experience the determination of a
young man named Charles Lindbergh
as he challenged the unknown during
his solo flight across the Atlantic,
O’Daniel said.
The sight-and-sound presentation
also highlights the accomplishments
of three other aviators, whose endeav
ors were equally as dramatic.
O’Daniel said the film also would
feature Jimmy Doolittle, “the master
