She Mated she had found the finest «f cooperation in solving a diffi- enlt problem. She said her work rmaaliy fell into three divisions, til. The rescue, the emergency, tbe rehabilitation. She stated that MtC local chapter of the Red Cross, and the other civic aud so cial groups of the community had jeadered the finest of cooperation xod service in solving the first two stages of this work. She in- fonned the club that she is now ha. the process of working out fce third stage of her work. "There have been about $4,000 spent in solving the first two stages. She thinks it will require narhap.s four or five thousand . health department. This shows that many homes have been vls- itef' and that the work of sanita tion is being provided for. Ap proximately 6,000 people have been vaccinated for typhoid. Chairman Casey called atten tion to several letters he had in hand which have been received by the Secretary of the Commerce Bureaus from representatives in both houses of congress, stating their interest in helping to solve present difficult problems here. At this point Chairman Casey presented J. C. Reins, chairman of I’ublic Affairs committee, who called attention to several pro jects that should be of intere.-i-t in the Immediate future to this com munity. in the first place he stated he and Mr. Casey had interviewed the highway office as .suggested at the last luncheon period con cerning the erection of a new bridge in East North Wilkesboro. He stated It is not the opinion of the commission that the suggeet- ed proposal for the bridge can be had, but the commission stated it is the intention to restore the bridges as they were before the flood. In the next place' Chairman Reins .suggested that the club sponsor a move to get the rail road company to build a side track to the county farm and that proper measures be taken to offer this as factory sites. He stated then that engineers have been here again to investi gate the advisability of building a flood control dam on the Yad kin river above Wilkesboro. He said the club should lend its en- thusia.stic interest to this mat ter. He stated also that the city is without an Armory. He said this also should be attended to and proposed that the club should lend its interest to some plan to find a proper place and plan for rebuilding an Armory.
