Wilkes Omitted In
Road Contracts List
This month the State Highway and
Public Works Commission prepared for
contract letting one of the largest list of
road projects in the history of the state.
One disappointing factor was that the
long list did not include any project in
Wilkes county.
Many months ago survey work started
on the badly needed Traphill road. It does
seem from this angle that at least a part
of the Traphill road should be ready for
construction. Of course, much field and
office work is necessary on a survey of
that type before the project is ready for
the dirt movers, but the people are suffer
ing for an all-weather road and no time
should be lost in getting the work started
on this project that should have been
built years ago.
There are other needed projects in
Wilkes county. Unofficially, it has been
stated that highway 268 will be construct
ed up the Yadkin. Winter is coming and
the old road will break down, if history
repeats itself. We know that a highway
cannot be constructed to relieve the peo
ple during the winter immediately ahead,
. but let us hope it will be the last for a mud
road where there should be pavement.
Yadkin Valley Well
Surveyed For Power
A committee working in the interest of
power development has suggested With
drawing the allocation for flood control
dams in the Yadkin valley and places it
self ip th? position of favoring a survey
of power development possibilities.
All of which reminds us that somebody
must not be fully informed.
During the past ten years War Depart
ment engineers have surveyed and re
surveyed the Yadkin valley from all an
gles, including power development.
If the committee wants to know about
power possibilities in the valley, all the
information that could be secured has al
ready been assembled and is on file.
The many surveys which have already
been made include practically every de
tail which any group would want to know.
The surveys include the entire watershed,
even to an estimate of every drop of
rain expected in the next half century. The
survey has set out dam sites for flood
control, also for power, and the data is
there about every kilowatt of power that
could be generated at various and sundry
points.
In view of all that information, would
it not be silly to drop everything and start
a new survey?
Surveys are not what is needed now.
Construction is the crying need. While the
subject is tossed around committee rooms
like a football, the time is drawing nearer
when there will be another disastrous
flood in the valley. All the numerous
thousands of dollars spent for surveys
will not lower the flood crest one inch.
The tragedy of it is that Labor Day was
anything but a holiday for ambulance
drivers and mortuary attendants. ?

Wilkes Honored
For Vote On Bonds
Better Schools and Boads, an organisa
tion which carried out the campaign in
North Carolina for votes on the school and
road bonds issues, will award plaques to
the two counties which supported the bond
issues most in the election.
Wilkes will get one of the plaques for
voting the biggest majority for road and
school bonds. Yancey county will get the
plaque for the greatest percentage favor
ing the bonds for roads and schools.
The majority for road bonds in Wilkes
was 7,990, which was the largest in the
state, and top honors also went to Wilkes'
7,785 majority for the state school bonds.
Yancey county voted 98.8 per cent for
approving the bonds issues, although the
number of votes cast was small in com
parison to the number of voters in Wilkes
who went to the polls for the special elec
tion.
In appropriate ceremonies Governor W.
Kerr Scott will, present the plaques to
Wilkes and Yancey counties in the near
future.
T LI p
EVERYDA
COUNSELOR
By Rev. He
Spaugh, D. D.
One mark of a successful vacation is to
have "the pasture look green" to you a
gain when you return. If you don't come
back to your job, your home, your church
with a new appreciation of it, you have
missed one of the great purposes of a va
cation.
Edward R. Ray of Hopkinton, Mass.,
has just returned from a twenty year va
cation from seeing things around him. Ac
cording to the Associated Press his sight,
which was lost in 192j), suddenly return
ed to him, "in a blinding flash!" He was
able to see his wife again. She had not
changed at all, he said. His daughter, now
grown up and married was "even better
looking than they told me." But his great
est surprise was his two grandchildren
whom he had never seen. Both were en
tirely different from the picture in the
eyes of his mind.
"Everything looks so rich and bright:
faces, flowers, even the sky on a gray
day," he said.
A twenty year vacation from the visable
world is a long one. No one would volun
tarily want to take one. But it brought a
new appreciation of his family and the
world about him to Edward Ray. That's
one of the purposes of a proper vacation.
One of the nicest features about a good
vacation is the ability to return home and
sleep in your own bed, step back into your
own familiar environment where you are
known, understood, and loved.
I have always felt that families should
once a year take a vacation from one an
other. It will lead to a new appreciation
of one another when they return. Many
marriage counselors recommend for hus
bands and wives that they either take sep
arate vacations sometime during the year,
or else let one or the other take a trip
which will separate them for a week or
two.
We all remember the old proverb,
"Familiarity breeds contempt." It may
not always go that far, btit it certainly
breeds at least a lack of appreciation.
The greatest problem facing newlyweds
is that of suddenly adjusting themselves
to the familiar intimacies and continuing
routine of married life, after having spent
at least approximately one-third of their
lives time in utterly different surround
ings. All too soon they accept as common
place the things which they once held par
ticularly precious. Even common courtesy
has a way of languishing.
Husbands quickly accept their wives
as commonplace. Wives their husbands;
children their parents; parents their chil
dren; congregations their minister; min
isters their congregation. In like manner,
we accept the services of those people who
bring us the daily comforts of life: the
postman, the milkman, the policeman, the
fireman, the garbageman, the groceryman,
the butcher. You continue the list. Sup
pose you were suddenly shut off from all
these. You would have a new apprecia
tion when they returned.
Try practicing appreciation daily. It
may save you a long and expensive vaca
tion.
Keyes' Meeting In
Boone Continues
Evangelist "Sledg ehammer
Charlie "Andrew Keyes, Jr., who
is conducting a highly successful
tent revival in Boone, announces
he will continue the meeting by
demand of the people another
week, running through October
2nd. This has been one of the
best meetings Boone has exper
ienced this year and the crowds
increased nightly, filling every
seat, with many standing out
side, unable to find standing
room. Around 50 converts have
been brought to Christ during
the two weeks the meeting has
been in progress.
Evangelist Keyes announces
he will pitch his tent in Moun
tain View some time in October
for another great soul-saving re
vival, and will close his tent
work for the season after the
Mountain View meeting.?Re
