Highway Chairman Says
Bridge Contract Will Be
Let In August
Assurance that a part of high
way number 16 between Millers
Creek and Jefferson and the
Reddies River bridge here will
be let in August was contained
in a letter from E. B. Jeffress,
chairman of the state highway
commission, to J. G. Hackett
Saturday.
In his letter the highway
chairman explained why the Jef
ferson road project had not been
let in previous lettings. A slight
readjustment in the plans for
the road was suggested by the
Bureau of Public Roads and the
letting was held up until the
plans can be perfected.
The Reddies River bridge just
west of this city will also be in
cluded in an August letting, Mr.
Jeffress stated. His letter fol
lows in full:
“The delay in letting the con
tract tor the Jefferson road,
route 16, is due to the time
necessary to get the plans ready.
It became necessary to make a
slight readjustment, suggested
by the Bureau of Public Roads,
and 1 hope the plans w'ill be
ready for eubmission to the
bureau within a few days. It

AAA adjustment contracts are
the happy medium between indi
vidualism and regimentation in
agriculture, F, H. Jeter, agricul
tural editor at State college, said
in an address Friday at noon be
fore the Wilkes Fruit Growers’
association and the North Wilkes
boro Kiwanis club in joint meeting
at Mountain Crest schoolhouse ou
the Brushies.
It was a happy occasion for the
two organizations as they met
around a long and spacious table,
on which a sumptuous picnic din
ner was spread. Rev. C. (W. Robin
son spoke the invocation.
After the dinner the crowd as
sembled in the schoolhouse, where
R. G. Finley, president of the Ki
wanis club, presented County
Agent A. G. Hendren, who had the
program in charge. After words
of greeting to the members of the
two organizations, the county
agent presented Mr. Jeter.
The speaker’s yams about a
number of colored farmers brought
roars of laughter before he launch
ed into his speech, which was
more or less an interpetation of
the New Deal as it affects the
farming industry.
Mr. Jeter, who knows just about
as much about North Carolina’s
homes as anybody, called the state
the “Garden Spot of the World,”
calling attention to the disastrous
drought and other hardships of the
great farming section of the west,
while in North Carolina, he said,
prospects are brightest for crops
he has seen in years.
He compared "rugged individual

the three plants grow to be forest

had attended faithfully since its
organization.
The deceased was a son of the
late John Gilliam and Mrs. Nan

the last to pass of a large fam
ily. He had served Bethel Bap

than 30 years and was a leading
