Delegates Will Travel On US 6 For Ely Meet Delegates from all along US 6, the Grand Army of the Republic Highway across the United States, will gather at Ely, Nevada on June 8 - 9 to form a promotional organization for this newest of transcontinental routes. The last link In Highway 6 was dedicated in Delta last September. Cecil Geraghty of Ely, well known leader in highway promotion, promo-tion, is convention chairman. The speakers include Governor Charles H. Russell of Nevada; Wendell E. Phillips of Port Jervis, New York; Frederick K. Davis of Eugene, Ore., Commander-in-Chief, Sons of the Union Veterans; John C. Kinnear, Jr., general manager, Nevada Mines Division, Kennecott Copper Corporation, and C. J. Olsen of Ogden, Utah, regional forestor, in termountain region. .... . ., Highway 6 embraces more of the i t, j o. . .u .u-.. route, stretching 3,513 miles from Provincetown on Cape Cod in Massachusetts to Long Beach, California, Cal-ifornia, crossing fourteen states. Creation and promotion of the highway began in Pennsylvania in 1927. The national US 6 Roosevelt Roose-velt Highway Association (named for President Theodore Roosevelt) was founded at Toledo, Ohio, in October. 1931. For two decades this organization held national conventions and was most effective effec-tive in bringing the route nearer and nearer completion as a mod-er mod-er highway. At the Massachusetts Encampment Encamp-ment of the Sons of Union Veterans Vet-erans of the Civil War, In April 1935, a project was initiated to designate and improve Highway 6 as a memorial to the Grand Army of the Republic, and by 1951 the legislatures of all the fourteen states had officially named the route "Grand Army of the Republic Repub-lic Highway." The Son of Union Veterans consider the highway their main project and contemplate contem-plate further improvements, including in-cluding landscaping and erection of historic markers. The 1953 convention committee feels strongly that the scenic and historic interest of the new transcontinental trans-continental highway, plus the unique aspects of the promotional support, offer an extra-ordinary opportunity. It is believed that cooperative co-operative methods can be worked out to build traffic, to bring further fur-ther improvements where needed, and to make the route more and more attractive until ultimately it might become the best-known in the entire United States.
