A suggestion bearing approval of Turnpike Commission Chairman Walter A.

Jones calls for caravans to start simultaneously from Pittsburg and Harrisburg. The processions would meet at the SO-mile point designated as midway, near Bedford, where formal exercises would be staged. The Pittsbtirg Chamber of Commerce offered the plan, selecting midway as the focal point because of its key position and facilities obtainable for a reviewing stand and the dedication luncheon planned. Across the roadway at the dedicatory scene might be a chain of flowers, held in place by 12 beautiful girls representing towns along the turnpike. When the highway is declared open the girls would step back carrying the floral chain.

George J. Vukmanio of the turnpike public relations department assured chamber committees working on dedicatory plans that their ideas had Chairman Jones' approval. Representatives from Bedford. Irwin. Greensburg, Jeannette anJ Latrobe will meet with Pittsburg and Harrisburg delegations next Thursday night at Ligonier, to further develop plans.

Baum, chairman of the selection of sites committee of the Altoona Chamber of Commerce, said at a special committee meeting yesterday morning. Sites definitely being considered, according to the discussion, include one at Red Hill, another further up the Buckhorn road, one in the Juniata gap district, another on the mountain southwest of the city, and a fifth on thenorth side of Brush mountain on the Franks-town road.

This area possesses transportation, utility and other conveniences exceeding those of any other section, it was pointed out.
