Wilkes Chapter No. 42, Order of the Eastern Star, will hold a regular meeting Thursday ero- nlng, September 27, at 7:30. Washington, Sept. 20.—Hear ings on the proposed flood control program for the Yadkln-Pee Dee area will be held by the armyj engineers as soon as a survey now under way reaches “a point where they can offer something concrete." / Senator Josiah W. Bailey^ chairman of the senate commerce committee, today so advised John E. Justice, of North Wllkesboro. Bailey’s statement was em braced in a letter to Justice, chairman of the Yadkin valley flood control committee, in which the senator declined, because of pressing business in Washing ton,” an Invitation to attend a meeting of interested citizens at North Wllkesboro Friday night. Meeting Called. The Wilkes county meeting was called by Justice in efforts to speed up Yadkin^Pee Dee flood control action to prevent a recur rence of disaistrouB floods, which during the past few days have in flicted upon Tar Heel farms and cities damages totaling hundreds of thousands of dollars. “1 have been keeping in touch with the army engineers,” Bailey asserted in his letter to Justice, "as to the status of their inrestl- gation of the Yadkin valley flood control project, and was advised today that the district engineer will hold public hearings just as soon as his studies progress to a point where te oip ate-.ippiev thing concrete Concerned WlUi War. "I understand the matter is re ceiving attention with the views to making a report as soon as possible. As you no doubt know, the army engineers have been very busy with work connected with the war.” The current studies of the Yad kin flood situation by the army engineers are in the nature of a re-survey. It was requested by Bailey after the senate, on mo tion of the senator, removed from the flood control bill last fall an authorization to construct a *10,000,000 reservoir near Wllkesboro. Bailey objected to the Wllkesboro dam because he said Us primary purpose was pro duction of hydro-electric power. He declared that with a surplus of power in North Carolina such a reservoir, whose pnrimse would be to produce power, provide an impounding flood control basin and become a factor in naviga tion, should not be constructed. He contended there Is no need to inundate vast fertile acres in Yadkin valley, when flood con trol may be achieved without it. Disapproved By Bailey. The long-range proposal sub mitted by the army engineers and disapproved by Bailey would pro vide for a *105,840,000 Yadkln- Pee Dee development program, embracing six triple-purpose res ervoirs on the system. Army offi cials reported that such a pro gram was designed because a “purely flood control program” would not be self-sustaining, while hydro-electric production would place the entire plan on a paying basis. The senior senator contended that while the United States Su preme Court had ruled In favor of hydro-electric production In the scheme of flood control, such power plans shoul^ be rejected as Incident to the primary purpose of flood control. He maintained em phatically that the YaidUn-Pee Dee program recommended by the engineers makM flood control In cident to the hydro-electric xero gram.

BUY MORE WAR yed, one era, called attention that the Yadkin Is an interstate stream over which the federal government has jurisdiction, and that flood control here will pro vide some measure of protection all the way down the river to Georgetown, S. C. He also called attention to the fact that with each flood recurrence the damage becomes greater because of the increased value of lands and in dustries in the valley, and that the engineers should take into consideration such facts when estimating the cost of flood con trol along with flood damages, past current and in the future. George F, Welce, charman of the upper Yadkin Valley Citizen Association, an organization of upper valley people who led a successful light to have the hy dro-electric flood control dam proposal eliminated from the flood control bill by Senator Bai ley last year, spoke Interestingly at the meeting Friday night, pledging the support of the peo ple In the Happy Valley section to the efforts for flood control. He advocated tributary dams and a dam on the Yadkin near Wikes- boro but smaller than the one proposed In the measure elimina ted by Senator Bailey. J. B. Williams cited the great costs of the 1916 and 1940 floods, saying that the 1940 flood caused at least three million dol lars damage in North Wllkesboro alone.
