tomorrow
when you buy tires tocSay!
|
No one can tell you how Idng the tires you buy today may have to last you.
So when you need new tires . . . get the best . . . get Goodyear Super-
Cushion tires. ,
New car makers use more Super-Cushi6ns on their new cars than any other
kind.
Car owners buy more Goodyear Super-Cushions than any other low-pres
sure tire.
Why? Because Goodyear Super-Cushion tires make your car ride smoother,
steer easier, stop quicker and give you longer mileage, too!

FALL GARDENS
July is the time to plow and
plant fall gardens, reminds Elmo
'lagsdale, Extension Service hor
ticulturist. “They are more im
portant than usual since the dry
weather cut production in spring
gardens,” he declared.
i Perry Airport
On Aid List
Perry is among the 96 Georgia
cities which the Civil Aeronau
tics Administration says should
have new or improved airports
constructed in the next three
years.
The CAA emphasized that in
clusion on the list did not mean
, that every city named would re
ceive federal funds for such air
port improvement but the govern
ment agency is simply required
to make a survey of airport
needs every three years.
Perry has a field of about 200
acres which was turned over to
the city after the federal govern
ment used it as an auxiliary field
during World War 11. It is locat
ed near the Charlie Harper place
just off the old Fort Valley road.
Asphalt runways are now over
run with grass.
For cities which do apply for
and receive federal airport irn
provement projects, the federal
and state governments would di
vide the cost on an approximate
ly 50-50 basis. The CAA esti
mates it would cost $8,800,000 to
carry out all of the airport proj
ects on its list in the next three
years, according to Administra
tor Charles F. Horne.
New Bridge
For Road 127
I
Link Urged
Renewed interest in possible
construction of another bridge
across the Ocmulgee River along
the eastern border of Houston
county has arisen out of Macon’s
traffic troubles.
It also raises the hope that
Route 127 in Houston county,
running east to the Ocmulgee
where it dehd-ends at the river,
might be opened up and paved
, from Houston Lake, by Kathleen
and on to Jeffersonville in Twiggs
county.
This has long been an objective
of officials of Houston county
and they are expected to urge
State and federal road agencies
to consider this important pro
ject.
Shannon’s Proposal
Former Sen. James D. Shannon
of Jeffersonville wrote a letter to
the Macon News the other day,
commenting on a News’ editorial
which said that the city needs
more and broader highways en
tering the city from the South.
“The trouble in question can be
alleviated and much good ac
complished for Macon, the entire
state and the war effort,” Sen.
Shannon wrote, “by a concerted
effort on our part to get erected
the long delayed bridge over the
Ocmulgee at or near Robins Air
Base between Twiggs and Hous
ton counties.”
Mr. Shannon’s letter continued:
“This would give quick, short
and direct connection to Macon-
Cochran Short Route and on to
Emery Highway into Macon.
There is no span over the river
between Macon and Hawkins
ville, a distance of between 50
and 75 miles. The bridge at
Hawkinsville is narrow and wind
ing and I would say rather obso
lete.
Long Apporved
“The idea of this proposed
bridge has been agitated from
time to time,, by the people of
Twiggs and Houston and many
other citizens. The late lamented
and beloved J. P. Duncan of Per
ry, discussed it many times with
the writer. He as a member of
the state Senate introduced and
secured the passage of the bill
adding the road from Perry to
Jeffersonville into the state mile
age (Ga. Laws 1935, pps. 278-279)
“The writer, together with oth
ers, introduced and passed in
the state Senate of 1943—Senate
Resolution No. 14, which was con
curred in by the house of repre
sentatives and approved by the
governor requesting the national
Congress to authorize and direct
the proposed bridge as a war
measure. I enclose you copy of
the resolution which I consider
an approval by the sovereignty.
(Ga. Laws 1943, pps. 1715.)
“There is much that can be
said why this bridge should be
ex-ected, measured from every
standpoint.” wrote Mr. Shannon.
EDITORIAL COMMENT; We
earnestly hope that Houston
county commissioners, State Sen.
Mayo Davis and others will act
aggressively to have the bridge
built and the paving done on the
long-approved extension of Route
127 from Houston into Twiggs. ,
