Highway Beautification Plan Won Backed by State
Capus Waynick announced full cooperation between the State Highway Commission and the Soil Erosion Service to launch a highway beautification program. Led by Dr. J. H. Stallings, the project will begin on No. 10 east of High Point and extend to Sedgefield, with shrubbery, grass mixtures, and ornamental plantings supplied from Statesville. Local garden clubs chaired by Mrs. H. A. Millis pushed for the effort to improve approaches to the city and keep materials from being redirected to other states. The work aims to boost the appearance of routes to Greensboro and across the Deep River area.
