HOUSTON HOME JOURNAL JOHN L. HODGES, Publisher DEVOTED TO HOME INTERESTS, PROGRESS AND CULTURE ESTABLISHED 1870 VOL,. LV. PERRY, HOUSTON COUNTY, GA., THURSDAY, AUGUST G, 1925 No. 32 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. iVlICKIE SAYS? - USSEUV VJUWST \u A.
