post war planning by asking that
a flood contrpl dam be conotruct-
ed on the Yadkin.
Pointing out that, this imme
diate section has not been direct
ly benefltted by war proJecU, tbs
club is asking that the flood con
trol dam he given immediate at
tention in the list of post-war
projects.
The resolution, which has been
forwarded to all North Carolina
representatives In congress and to
Senators Bailey and Reynolds,
was prepared by the Fubllc Af
fairs committee, which has the
following membership: John R.
Prevette, sponsor, S. V. Tomlin
son, chairman, E. G. Finley, A. F
Kilby. J. B. Snipes and John Ley-
shon.
The resolution, as drawn by the
committee and unanimously pass
ed by the club, follows:
"The matter of the Flood Con
trol Dam to be erected on the
Yadkin river above Wllkesboro,
N. has been forceably again
brought to the attention of the
Kiwanis Club in its regular meet
ing November 26, 1943. It was
stated as the opinion of the en
tire citizenship of Northwesterij
North Carolina that the Govern
ment in Its post war program will
appropriate large sums of money
in projects of this kind: and, in
view of this fact, that North
Wllkesboro and lU mitlre sur
rounding communities have never
been directly benefltted by any o$
the defense projects dnrtng the
war period; and, that after the
war it will be called n']^n to take
care of considerable surplus of la
bor which will be. in excess of the
labor that the present Industry
emilMBt project of bbte-sovt is ee-'
sentlal to the great benefit, not
only of Northweetem North Caro
lina, but the enttra Piedmont Sec
tion as well, for the flood control
protection it would render to this
great section which has already
suffered millions of dollars in
property loss as well as large
nunrhers of lives lost lu Ihe floods
of 1916, 1940 and other previous
floods; and,
"Furthermore, In consideration
of the fact that that the govern
ment has already made appro
priations and spent cossiderable
sums of money in making surveys,
which have already been complet
ed and are now in the files of the
War Department in Washington,
D. 0.
Mow, Therefore, We the mem
bers of the North Wllkesboro Ki
wanis Club in regular meeting as
sembled, unanimously request
that you, our Congressmen and
Senators, and each of you do every
thing in your power to secure the
appropriation necessary for the
consummation of this greatly
needed project”.
