Uiit ftt 9:00 o’clock I called a
MMUng of Iha city commisslon-
an and invited 3. H. Whicker,
Sad Cross chairman, R. O. Finley,
cteirman of disaster relief, and
Tsral other business men. After
discussion, the commission-
«rs ordered that $300.00, which
was set op in the budget for
moltare or relief, -be made avail-
aide to take care of and feed the
families that had everything de
stroyed by the high water. A.
committee, consisting of R. G.
Unley, J. H. Whicker and J. E.
Walker, was appointed to look
after this until we had time to
communicate with the Red Cross orto.
headquarters.
“At this meeting, the hoard
also made an order that the wat
er oommittee, of which J. B.
Carter is chairman, take the nec
essary steps to repair the dam
age to the water plant. I told Mr.
Carter that I would help with
«i»t» committee. We all went to
work, and worked day and night,
la "lihe meantime, while we were
repairing our damage, our neigh
bor, Wllkesboro, completed their
water system. Through the Mayor
and Commissioners, we were pro
vided with water until we got our
system working.
“C. M. Crutchfield, area super
visor for the WPA in this region,
called and said he had some

the city commissipners. I asked
him to meet with us the next

OB that he had made a long trip
to see about an emergency pro

of house?, lumber, debris, or any
thing that came along, this to
t>e done without cost to the town.
The WPA workers, through their
loaders, have done us a splendid
job aud saved the town several
hundred dollars, for which we
are very grateful. I had a letter
Irom Congressman R. H. Dough-
ten, stating that the COC ^ys
would be here to assist. They
came, numbering about 125, rea
dy to do anything that needed to
be done. We have had many in
cidentals to spend for. However.
I don’t beieve it has cost us more
than $500.00 to repair our water
Hiant, plus the $300.00 previous
ly mentioned. There are many
things have not been able to
repair yet, and I cannot make an
cetimate on what it will cost,

O. Burgln with reference to a
Hood control dam. Mr. Burgin,
as many of you know, was here

Des' Moines, la., Aug. 29.—
Henry Agard Wallace tonight
turned the “dictatorship” tables
on the Republicans by declaring
another term for President Roose-
It would constitute an anti
dote for Hitlerism in the western
hemisphere.
Formally accepting the Demo
cratic vice presidential nomina
tion here before a cheering, corn
stalk-waving crowd, the candidate
said:
“Most Republicans may not
realize it. but their party is the
party of appeasement in the Unit
ed States today.’’
Nomination of President Roose
velt for a third term in the White
House has been the subject of
charges of dicutorship by G. O.
P. spokesmen.
Democratic party officials esti
mated the crowd at 7,000.
Farmers and party leaders from
a dozen midwestern slates con
verged on Des Moines Tor a New
Deal loyalty demonstration built
around the acceptance speech.
From more distant points came
such party luminaries as Edward
J. Flynn of New York, Democrat
ic natjpnal chairman, L. W.
(Chip) Robert of Atlanta, Ga.,
secretary of the Democratic Na
tional committee, and Represen
tative .Marvin Jones, Democrat of

the courtesy of W. K. Sturdivant
headquarters were opened in one
of Mr. Sturdivant’s buildings.
On the day following the flood
food supplies from the Surplus
Commodity' Division of the State
Board of Charities and Public
Welfare began to arrive and con
tinued to come dally until there
was food enough to take care of
flood victims. Over 200 cases
representing from 800 to 1000
people who were damaged by the
flood have been given emergency
food orders. Bach order contains
a month’s supply of food and
consists of flour, meal, meat,
lard, cheese, prunes, raisins, and
milk for children under three
years of age.
One hundred mattresses for
double beds have been given the
welfare department by the Gull-
ford county welfare department.
The WPA district sewing room
gave around 250 outfits of cloth
ing for flood victims. These sup
plies came through the Surplus
Commodity Division of the State
Board of Charities and Public
tVelfare. People who had been
engaged in public or private em
ployment and who lost that em-
plovment because of flood and
were in need have been referred
to WPA. For all those who have
farms and have been deriving
their major portion of support
from the farm, we have referred
them to the Farm Security Ofiice.

In addition to this we are now

Also grants are being paid to
243 dependent children, amount

are receiving blind assistance a-
mounting to $449.00 per month.
This means that 942 persons re
ceive monthly checks through
the public assistance program a-
mounting to $7,462.00 per month.
Our superintendent of public wel
