BETTS TALK Highway Engineer Say* Ft Bragg Preparing For 65,000 There are now 25,000 enlisted men at Fort Bragg. The post is being built to accommodate 65,000 men. Eleven thousand carpenters . r# employed, to say nothing of com mon labor, which probably equals that figure. The daily payroll tor the skilled workers alone is $30,000. A traffic check recently made re vealed 7,000 cars entering the post in two hours. This was one-way traffic only, with every car loaded with workers checking in for work. These facts were told by T. T. Betts, district highway engineer lo cated at Fayetteville, who addressed the Rotary club yesterday at its meet* ing in the ball room of the Cap# Fear hotel. Betts, who was long located In Wilmington as maintenance engi neer, told some of the developments in the state's highway system since he entered this service in 1920. The club, accepting the resigna tion of the Rev. W. A. Cade, who is moving to Goldsboro under a new c.mmission from tie North Caro lina Methodist conference, united in a sincere farewell tribute. President Elvie White read a let ter from the district governor tell ing of the distress of Rotarians abroad and asking that a collection be taken for their relief. On motion the members decided to ask the di rectors to authorize a subscription of $50 for this purpose. Visitors were E. A. Sterling, Mont rose, Pa.; James W. Blakeney, Win ston-Salem; W. H. Muller and A. R. Temple, Dillon, S. C. J. Wilson Smith, state secretary of the T. M. C. A. and Douglas McCaig, Batavia, Java.
