Rt. 421 Continued From Page 1 the existing highway near the Old Jonesboro Road and rejoin the existing highway approximately four miles east near the Fleenor poultry farm. Alternate route A would generally move parallel to the present highway on the north side before crossing the present highway at a point near Ruthton.

From that point, the route would swing in an arch through the Sinking Springs community and continue eastward to the point of rejoinment. Alternate route would swing in a wide arch south of the present highway, crossing the Old Jonesboro Road, the Hickory Tree Road, Emmett Road, and through the Vinegar Hill section to point of rejoinment. Carpenter said the cost of either route would be within a relatively small amount of one another. Alternate route he said, would be approximately a $9 million project. Alternate route would be slightly lower.

He estimated that actual construction is 24-30 months away and construction itself would take approximately two years. "This means that we are at least four years away from the completed project from this point," he said. The A route would displace 52 families, while the route would displace only 11 families. However, the difference in cost would be balanced out due to the fact that the route is slightly longer. Those favoring the A route generally based the preference on the fact that the A route provides closer and easier access to the majority of homes and businesses located along the present highway.

Carpenter and other state highway department officials produced large aerial photo maps that showed the exact location of both of the proposed routes. Those present had an opportunity to see exactly where the proposed routes would fall in relation to their own property. Ben Smith, administrator of environmental planning for the state, said the highway project is being developed so that it would be eligible for 70 percent funding from the federal government. The remaining 30 percent would be state funded. The session, announced last week, was held at Holston Valley Middle School and was also attended by State Senator Carl Moore of Bristol and State Representative Clarence Blackburn of Blountville.

Indictments Are Issued A Sullivan County grand jury in Bristol handed down indictments for Jeffrey Stuart Dicks and Raymond Wayne Strouth in last year's murder of James Keegan in Kingsport. The two men had allegedly slit Keegan's throat in the incident. They were charged with first degree murder. Other indictments returned by the grand jury were for grand larceny, Bradford S. Cawood and Sammy Lee Hulse in unrelated incidents; two counts of forgery, Steven Leon Williams; third degree burglary, Emmett Pat Absher and Thomas Wayne Jones in unrelated incidents; and receiving and concealing stolen property, Frank Selvage.

Indictments were also handed down for arson, Robert Woods; aggravated assault, Robert Nave; armed robbery, Johnny Wayne Marlow; rape, Ricky D. Hensley; and petty larceny, John Henry Tallman. 30.48 30 24 3000 29.77 2977 3000 3000 29.77 BOSTON YORK CHICAGO' HIGH SAN FRANCISCO DENVER FAIR 1 HIGHEST TEMPERATURES ORL 70 RAN 70 SHOWERS FLOW UPI Weather Fotocast Showers Likely In Area Tonight skies are expected Sunset today will be at 8:19 Mostly fair Sunrise Thursday will be at 6:33 to favor the Bristol area today Temperature at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday increasing Humidity at 9:30 p.m. Tuesday was 35 with cloudiness was 53 tonight and a chance of showers, percent Winds at 9:30 p.m.

Girl Continued From Page 1 turer, had been tied up and held in a cabin near the Britton Ford area of Henry County about 25 miles northeast of here. He said she escaped Tuesday morning, apparently after being left unguarded, and ran to a home nearby, where the residents called police. Bomar said the girl was "on the verge of shock" when officers reached the scene. The FBI identified the suspects as David Michael Wilson, 25, of Paris, and Andrew Dickson, 22, of Paris. Another man, who authorities did not identify, was being sought.

The Wilsons and Dickson were arrested in "the Paris area," near McKenzie, officers said, and were held at Henry County Jail pending formal filing of charges. A banner that read "Welcome Home Jodie" was spread across the front of her family's spacious home here when Jodie was brought back. Jodie, an attractive, redhaired senior at an exclusive Memphis prep school, disappeared Friday night after dining with her parents at the Carroll Lake Country Club. She left in her own car later found abandoned at a farm about 10 miles from here to visit a cousin. "She was going from the country club when they pulled King College Alumni Slates Dinner Meeting King College alumni from the Bristol area, from Washington County, and from Smyth County will have a dinner meeting tomorrow evening, May 4, at 7 p.

m. in the dining hall at King for a briefing on the college's current Campaign for Christian Higher Education. Presiding at the meeting will be Mrs. Howard Littleton, chairman for the Bristol alumni. President Roy K.

Patteson, will be the speaker for the evening, and there will also be a slide presentation. The Campaign for Christian Higher Education has a goal of $3 million, with half of this sum designated for permanent endowment and half for operating expenses. Major needs at King include funds for scholarships, for faculty salaries and development, for the library, for the admissions program, and for operating funds. The campaign is being conducted by the Development Committee of the Trustees of King College under the chairmanship of William H. Eason of Nashville, Tenn.

Edward S. Berry, Director of Development at King, is coordinating the drive. her over," said her father, Ben Gaines. "The two guys had a blue light that turned like the light on a police car and they pulled her over and said they'd have to take her in." When Jodie asked to see identification, Gaines said, "they pulled a gun and forced her out." Gaines said the kidnappers kept her in a locked car at least one night before taking her to a cabin near Kentucky Lake and tying her to a bedpost. "They were going to kill her.

One was debating whether to kill her. Two of them wanted to kill her. They had confusion among themselves about whether to kill her. She was sitting in the room when they talked of killing her," Gaines said. It was not immediately revealed how she managed to escape.

Gaines owns a local furniture manufacturing plant and holds a substantial interest in United Inns which owns 31 Holiday Inn franchises. "Her rescue was a direct result of the power of God working through everyone involved," said Patti Gaines, Jodie's 31-year-old sister. "The family kept a constant prayer vigil which gave them the strength and courage they needed." "Jodie wants you to know, because she just told me, that she loved each one of you and she wishes she could hug every one of you she said. Joseph Trimbaugh, special agent in charge of the Memphis FBI office, said Ludie Gaines, Jodie's mother, had gone first to Paris, then to Murray, evening, following the kidnappers' instructions for delivery of the ransom. The money was left under a bridge north of Paris, according to Bomar.

Trimbaugh said the kidnappers had promised to release Jodie at 3:30 a.m. Tuesday morning but did not release her and did not pick up the money. At that point, the family agreed to allow authorities to begin a massive search for the girl, according to Ben Gaines, Jodie's father. "We all agreed we would put every ounce of effort into getting people who did this to our daughter," said Gaines at a appearance with other family members. "It was worth every ounce of effort that was put into it because we have our daughter back and she is not in the hands of some person with no love for said Gaines.

Rather than take any final action in establishing the priorities, council passed a motion by Earl McCormac to look at the projects as a whole and analyze the costs involved in putting them under contract and hiring additional city crew members. The latter consideration would also include the purchase of new equipment for the city. During the discussion, Bristol Tennessee Projects Coordinator Charlie Robinette told council members that one of the projects being worked on last fall had to be stopped to comply with a health department order to build lines on Vance Drive. However, since those lines have been built, the health department has not forced the residents affected to hook onto the line. According to Robinette, the sewer project in Sunset Village, which is all but complete at present, would have been finished last fall if his crew could have remained on the job.

But the health department ordered sewer and water lines to be built along Vance Drive after three cases of hepatitis were found in the area. However, after many man hours and $23,000 in city funds, the 12 residences which should have hooked onto the lines remain on their own system and local officials apparently have their hands tied as far as enforcement. Parker said the health department and not the city has the authority to force the residents to hook onto the system. In other cases, the city may charge sewage rates after 90 days even if residents choose against the tap-on. But since sewage rates are based on water consumption and the houses involved have had their own water source, Parker said, the city has no basis of establishing a monthly fee.

Also at Tuesday night's meeting, council heard first reading of an ordinance to rezone the old Sears building on State Street from a central business to a light industrial district to allow the Bristol Sheltered Workshop to relocate there.
