Hope That Road Mkv Be Built Soon Is Revived Receipt of a letter by a local man from E. B.

I am hopeful of having a survey party complete this location soon.”—Elkin Tri bune, August 31. Mike Stevenoff To Be Represented by 3 Loed Attorneys The house-to-house canvass made by members of the Nortb Wilkesboro NRA Club was a sig nal success, it was learned this' morning when a final check oC the reports was made. Colonel W. R. Absher’s report, to J. C. Reins, chairman of the committee, showed that 2,454i persons signed the NRA Consum ers’ pledge during the canvass made by the army of voluntoer workers last week. It was pointed out - that the cotton mill village, Wllkesboro and other territory adjacent to the city had' not been included in the canvass to date. A canvass of adjoining territory will be made, however, and a report of the re sults given as soon as possible. It was revealed that of thoso contacted during the canvass, only around 20 persons had de clined to sign the pledge to sup port NRA members. Mr. Reins said he felt their refusal was due entirely to a misunderstanding of the purposes of the pledge and that they would be contacted again within a tew days. Pledge cards are still coming in and it is requested that any person who was not located during the can vass notify the chairpin and sign the pledge. p Chairman Reins this morning 'expressed' bis appreciation of the splendid work done by Colonel I ^ .^bsher’s volunteer army.
