State Eyes Upgrading Houston Waco Route 290
William B. Alderman discusses the 188 mile Waco Houston highway in Texas Parade. The Texas Highway Department backs a four lane divided road to serve local and cross country traffic on U S 290 with about 50 miles of limited access from Houston and controlled access to just south of Waco. Estimated cost is 48 million dollars, with 24.5 million in Harris County and other sums across Waller Grimes Brazos Robertson Falls and McLennan counties. Funding over the next 20 years remains uncertain as 22,000 miles statewide need work and the highway is currently a congested two lane road.

Smoky Mountains travel tips and regional notes
Vacationers are urged to call ahead for Smoky Mountain reservations in Tennessee and North Carolina to avoid lodging shortages reported by newspapers. Gatlinburg often fills quickly, with many lodges in the area, while road views offer wildlife and dramatic gorges. The piece notes the drive from Baytown is about 1000 miles and encourages pre-winter trips before lodging fills. Also mentions Chattanooga school integration coming this fall and societal progress toward racial equality following the Supreme Court decision. The column closes with personal reflections on vacation laziness and nostalgia for unsliced bread. Bible verse Revelation 20:13 is cited.
