Need Full Program
For Flood Control
The army engineers have recommended
an adequate plan of flood control for this
area, which plan is now before congress
and scheduled for hearings during the
week of June 25 before the Senate Com
mittee on Commerce, of which Senator
Josiah W. Bailey is chairman.
The four dams, two on the Yadkin and
two on the Reddies River, would impound
up to six inches of flood run-off, which
would afford flood protection in case of re
currence of a flood of the 1916 or 1940
flood proportions.
All that is very gratifying, because it
would mean that the valley below can de
velop agriculturally and industrially with
out fear of flood destruction.
However, there are additional aspects
to flood control on a long range basis.
The Yadkin Valley watershed on the
southeastern slope of the Blue Ridge has
been great timber lands. Now most of the
area is cutover land and soil erosion has
run rampant, making it possible that we
have what is known as “flash floods.” p
Some of the submarginal lands are be
ing cultivated unprofitably.
Lands not too steep in slope could be
profitably devoted to grazing, and less de
sirable lands should be reforested.
The government could purchase the
submarginal mountain lands at very- reas
onable costs and turn them into national
forests, thus conserving and developing
valuable natural resources, and bringing
about flood control for future generations.
It would provide a refuge for game.
This type of development would be es
pecially appropriate because the Blue
Ridge Parkway borders the Yadkin Val
ley watershed.
And soil conservation work could be in
tensified throughout the entire Yadkin
watershed area in Northwestern North
Carolina.
The U. S. Soil Conservation Service has
already accomplished much in conserving
and enriching soil. A more intensified
program in the Yadkin valley area would
be especially appropriate.

A Better Highway 421
North Wilkesboro should join whole
heartedly with other cities in North Caro
lina, Tennessee and Virginia for a better
highway 421.
The famous highway was built as an
interstate route of traffic, and was named
the Boone Trail to commemorate the mem
ory of Daniel Boone, the famous pioneer.
But as highways have progressed, lit
tle attention has been paid the Boone
Trail, and some parts of the famous route
have been badly neglected, particularly
that part from Boone through tke comer
of Tennessee and Into Virginia and to
Bristol.
Now the people of northwestern North
Carolina, East Tennessee and Southwest
Virginia are demanding that their respec
tive states restore highway 421 to its right
ful place among the leading interstate
highways of the southeast.
Because of itsstrategic location, high
way 421 should be one of the super high-
wa^ planned in cooperation with the fed
eral Bureau of Roads. It is the most direct
route from «ie thickly populated and in
dustrial Piedmont j^^on -of North* Caro-
-lina to tiie great Middle West.
*Hie present routing of proposed
taper' wihws hw »> direct route be-
tween tboee great sections of the coun-
ttf. Just why should the super highways
be so routed^at one wouW have to^v _

every ^eat. incidentally, of the ten lead-
ing causes of death iu' the .countrj^ omy
one, tuberculosis, has shown a ste^F
ciine during the past three years. Whe^-
er this is to be attributed to the stea^
campaign which is waged against the
white plague, or not, we have no way of
knowing but we suspect that there is some
close connei^pn.
Concerning heart disease, a recognized
authority reports that coronary sclerosis
is sometimes called the “disease of the i^
telligensia” because of the susceptibility
of physicians, bankers, lawyers and cler^-
men. The characteristics of the disease m-
clude the hardening of the nerves, liga
ments and bldod vessels around the heart
and its incidence is highest among those
who do mental work and lowest among
those who do manual labor.
The Journal-Patriot naturally hesitates
to attempt any conclusion from these ob
servations but, apparently, the disease at
tacks individuals who are prone to forget
the importance of physical exercise while
consuming' their ene^es in the anxiety
of mental worries. It would appear that,
somewhere along the line of popular edu
cation in this country, the physical nature
of man has been neglected. '
If this is true, and we believe that it is,
we might save the lives of future profes
sional men by stressing athletic interests
during childhood, with the hope that,
when they grow up, the individuals will
have sense enough to continue what has
been wisely begun.

Wo trust yon all enjoyed the
church services yest^dAy. Sure
Is nice to get forty winks, isn’t
It. We sure hope some of those
hats (???) we saw pleased eome-
one. And speaking of hats,
seems that women’s hats have
reached the limit. (We thought
that six years ago but were
wrong.) It’s amaalng what can
be done with the simplest of ar
ticles. Someone takes a few for
lorn feathers of which some poor
children were deprived, a handful
of shavings or straw, three yards
of tobacco twine, ties them all
together, and puts them on s
woman’s head, asks for twenty-
five dollars, and what have you?
A hat? No, a few feathers, a
handful of shavings, three yards
of tobacco twine, and twenty-five
dollars less In your purse. Dis
couraging Isn’t It, but a rather
profitable business for the mil
liners.

and God. He painted the portrait of the
beautiful little child, so innocent, so ten
der, so beautiful. He hung the same where
he could gaze upon it daily, and view the
features he thought so beautiful. After
several years had passed, this same por
trait painter decided he wanted to paint
the most miserable thing or being in ex
istence. He searched far and wide and
finally in the walls of a state prison he
found a person whom he thought would
be the most miserable, the most wretched
human on earth. He painted the portrait
of this man which society seemingly had
forgotten and hanged it in his studio be
side the portrait of the very essence of
God’s creation, the portrait of the little
flaxen-haired child he painted years be
fore. Then he began to search and make
an inquiry of the once beautiful little child
whose soul was as pure as God Himself,
and to his astonishment the portrait of the
miserable wretch was the same once beau
tiful little child. Across the years of his
life sin had overtaken him. Somebody’s
life, somebody’s influence failed to radi
ate, and send into that very soul the thing
that gives us courage to move in the right
direction, and that is love and sympathy
and sunshine of humanity^ Life has its in
fluence, life has its scho6s. Whether good
or bad, they will influence other souls. It
behooves us who claim to be Christians to
live and conduct ouiBelves in such a way
and manner that othete Ml follow in our
footsteps in a Christan and spiritual way.
This story tells us how sin Will not only
wreck and destroy natural beauty, - but
will destroy innocence, pttrily» uMftilness,
manhood, womanhood, morals, golden op
portunities, and will cause one to wa^ his
time, bringing him to dire want and pov
erty, to prison, itad flflAlly to hell. Then
do you blame me for.hatihg apd fightiag
sin and wickedness, and all’that is cal'
culated to wrwk lives and send precious
souls to hell? O teat X inight win 4,thous
and souls and save a thousand lives where
