IVIiiWb that differences between tho FWWoi
Fower Commission and the Aluminum Com
pany of America are being- ironed out in the interest
oi .National Defense so that the comoanv iii.iv build
. . S .
the Fontana dam on the Little Tennessee river is
gratifying to the people of this section.
The construction of the Glenville and Nantahala
dams by the Nantahala Power and Light company
is nearing completion, while the Fontana nroierr.
controlled by Alcoa, has been delayed because of
government regulations that the Company had not
accepted.
with headquarters personnel of the Nantahala
f ower and Light company residing in Franklin and
the facilities on the ground, it would appear that
this company would be the logical builders to under
take the Fontana project, v
We hope that the Reconstruction Finance Cor
poration will accede to the request of Alcoa's exe
cutives; so that , this important source of aluminum
supply may be developed without further delav.

In denying the ex-slot machine king a pardon,

location in Jirevard to the oied
mpnt section ob the state
I find that there is a peneral
rumor in certain sections of North
Carolina to the effect that Brevard
college will be moved to a new
location. It becomes necessary,
inererore, tor me to indicate to
the public that this
not be taken seriously. We think
tnat Urevard college will be :
permanent institution at it nr.c
