HENDERSON ? Stanley S.]

UUIUV.U a luciuuci ui llic oiaic
Highway Commission by Gov'
wnor Hodges, it was announc~
ed from Raleigh "ucsday. Hr
is the first Henderson man
ever to be a member of the
State highway body.
Betts will succeed Fletcher |
V H. Gregory, Jr., of Weldon.i
who recently resigned on account
of the press of personal]
business affairs. The unexpired
term runs to June 30, 1961. |
Betts is 37 years of age. Hej
''""is a native of Wilmington and
attended public schools in
Fayetteville, and later graduated
from The Citadel, at |
Charleston, S. C., in 1946, after I
serving in the U. S. Army

also on active military dutyj
during the Korean War and

LITTLETON'S HOPES
' FOR BRIDGE FADE
LITTLETON ? A Littleton
spokesman said Wednesday
^ that the resignation of Fletcher
H. Gregory, Jr.,. of Weldon
? ' from the State Highway Commission
may hurt Littleton's
hopes of getting a new bridge
located at Curl's Hill.
; Marvin Newsom, who has
been active in promoting tne
bridge site in this area, said
"It is unfortunate that Gregory
resigned at this time. His resignation
and the appointment
of Stanley Betts of Henderson
to replace him throws a differija.
ent light on the situation."
The other proposed location
for the bridge that will span
the new lake to be created by
construction of a Virginia
Electric and Power Co. dam at
Gaston is Robinson's Ferry,
further up the Roanoke River.
The latter site is favored by
Warren County residents.^
Gregory resigned from the
{C State Highway Commission
Tuesday and Governor Hodges
appointed Betts to succeed him.
The fact that Betts is the
aon-in-law of Gen. Claude BowS
> _ ers of Warrenton. an advocate
t r of that town's cause in the
L v bridge yqsUWt was ii|K>rta(Hy
f - a big reason for the gloomy
view taken in Littleton over
the Curl's Hill prospects.
Newsotn said his group had
been informed the State Highway
Commission proposed to
handle the location of the
bridge on the merits of the
& two proposed sites regardless
f of any other circumstances.
