jp’VSENATOR JORDAN jatjil REPORTS MBS From .WASHINGTON Raleigh—As I travel over North Carolina during the Congressional recess, I am becoming more and more impressed with the tremen dous amount of interest that citi zens of all walks of life have ini the development of our water re- 1 sources. No longer can it be said that the people of North Carolina are taking water for granted. During the past week I made a rather extensive trip through Wilkes County and the surround ing areas, and everywhere I went people asked me about the Wilkesboro Reservoir flood con trol project. This project, which should reach the construction stage next year, involves the building of a flood control dam a few miles north of Wilkesboro on the Yadkin River. It is badly needed primarily as; a flood control measure, but the| good effects that will come from i it will have a major influence on | the development of the entire Up per Yadkin River Valley. It will ] mean new sources of water so agricultural, municipal, and in dustrial purposes all along the River including Elkin, Winston-' Salem, Greensboro and many oth- j er cities, towns and communi- 1 ties. It will cost about ten million dollars to build the Wilkesboro project, but when the future de velopment of the river basin is considered, this is a cheap price for an investment that will bring untold benefits to many thousands of'* people. T'he Wilkesboro project is just on 6 of several major water de velopment projects that are now being considered and studied un ddr the direction of Congress and L\ M.

Surveys are under way to de termine the most practical and Neuse and Cape Fear River Bas ins. For many years these rivers, j like the Upper Yadkin, have gone ' beneficial ways to develop the unharnessed and they have been more of a hindrance than a help in developing our agricultural and industrial potential. In the short time I have been in the Senate, I have devoted a great deal of time to obtaining the necessary funds to speed up the work on all these projects as well as other rivers and harbors and flood control measures. I am firmly convinced that the manner in which we handle our water problems will do as much ] to determine the future growth of North Carolina as any one thing. ! Preliminary estimates show j’that literally hundreds of millions j I of dollars could be wisely spent; lon water resource development projects in North Carolina at this | time. We have made a great deal iof progress along this line, but the truth of the matter is that we have not been getting our right ful share of funds that are ex pended for water development by the Federal government. It will take a lot, of hard work, but I feel that all levels of gov ernment should push as fast as possible water development pro jects and move them from the dreaming and planning stage to reality. • In more ways than one water is North Carolina’s number one problem. Water also is our num ber one opportunity, and conserv ing it and using it properly is one of the best investments we can make in our future. ers for excellence in engineering, operations, gunnery and air de-j partment.
