Many Significant Questions Are Answered. Program Is In Tentative Stage. Post-war plans which call for erection of three “dry” dams for flood control in Transylvania were discussed by a group of local citizens with Tennessee Valley Authority, state and other offi cials in a meeting held at Ashe ville Tuesday. Transylvania men at the meet ing were particularly interested in the probability of the flooding of several hundred acres of high class farm land during certain pe riods, possibility of adequate com pensation for water damage, and in drainage of the back water areas following closing of the huge flood control dams. It was explained to the local cit izens by the TV A group that all plans relative to construction of the proposed dams were tentative, and that final approval could not be given any plan at this time, and that neither could the plan be called at all a certainty on the whole as a regional measure until congressional approval has been received. Explanation is Given Particular questions asked by the Transylvania group were: How much areas would be flooded in farming sections of Little River and Cathey’s Creek sections, how much compensation would be giv en in return for water damages, and what disposition would be made of, or rather, what method would be employed for after-flood drainage of the covered areas at such times as the gates would be closed. The engineers for ' TVA stated that no actual acreage figures could be given at this time, be cause in the first place, the ten tative dam sites could and might be changed on account of geologi cal formations which would pro hibit proper foundation for the proposed earth and rock-filled dams, and that height of the dams might also be changed after re check has been made. Compensation for damaged areas above the proposed dams will have to be set up in the congressional approval of the plans, the engi neers explained, but they stated that in other like areas where similar plans have been complet ed that the pay was fully adequate for any probable or material dam age. Health Problem Answered Health supervisor for the engi neers and state department ex plained that North Carolina laws pertaining to back-water for any purpose would be strictly adhered to if the proposed flood control program is completed, and that there would be no undrained low or “sink hole” areas left after dam openings for the breeding of mosquitoes or other health-injur ing pests. Plans for ditch-draining would be taken care of also, in the ex pressed opinion of the TVA au thorities at the meeting, and other matters of interest and value to land owners of the detention dam areas will be gone into by mutual groups in settlement of claims, it was stated. It was explained by the TVA engineers that land owners w'ould be allowed to retain their lands in the detention dam areas, and that no claim would be held against such land by the TVA except to require certain practices which would not cause injury to the dam proper or the proper drainage of the areas when water is to be re leased. Buildings in the immediate flood areas would naturally have to be removed from the premises, it was pointed out by the TVA officials, but these would be paid for by the TVA. Program Is Tentative The entire program is a tenta tive regional one, it was pointed out and emphasized by the au thority representatives and hy Fred Gray of Asheville, chairman of the Western North Carolina flood con trol committee, who presided at the sessions held Monday and Tues day. Protection of the entire French Broad Valley areas is the main idea, it was explained, with dams to be built at seven points, three of which lie in Transylvania county because this is the head waters area. While damage will be severe to some pieces of property, it was pointed out, other property which is given guaranteed protection against floods will be greatly en hanced in value, and intensified farming can be carried out in the lower or protected areas without fear of planting a money-crop and having it destroyed by high waters from the French Broad. One of the proposed dams is to be located in the Cathey’s Creek area with tentative location just below the Frank Shuford place on Little River, and a third proposed dam is just inside Pisgah Nation al Forest on Davidson River. The Davidson River dam will not en tail any loss of farm lands as it is located entirely within the boun daries of Pisgah National Forest. However, the Cathey’s Creek and Little River dams, if built and used, will damage some of the most productive farm sections to be found in this county. To Build 7 Dams The seven dams will cost an estimated total of over $8,000,000, it was stated, and in addition to dams would also entail the build ing of levees at several points. Engineers at the meeting Tues day said that proposal of mem bers of the committee and others at previous times, including Prof. S. P. Verner, who has made an ex tensive survey of the flood situa tion, to build several smaller dams on tributary streams had been studied, but that such dams would not adequately care for the flood waters. However, members of the committee expressed themselves Tuesday as being in favor of fur ther pushing the smaller dam idea. Frank A. Peschl, of Ecusta, is a member of the general Western North Carolina flood control com mittee. Others attending the meet ing in Asheville Tuesday included A. H. Harris, Lewis P. Hamlin, Ralph H. Ramsey, Jr., C. M. Doug las, William J. Wallis, Harry H. Patton, Herbert Finck, T. J. Wil son, E. Carl Allison and Julian A. Glazener. At a meeting held in Asheville the committee named A. H. Harris as permanent chairman for Tran sylvania; Lewis Hamlin as vice chairman and C. M. Douglas as secretary. ENGLISH CHAPEL TO OBSERVE WORLD WIDE COMMUNION DAY This Sunday, October 3, English Chapel Methodist church will ob serve world-wide communion day. A special free-will offering will be taken for foreign relief and the work of the chaplains. Rev. J. R. Bowman, Methodist pastor at Rosman, will be guest preacher at Oak Grove Methodist church Sunday night at 8. Mr. Bowman is a former pastor of Oak Grove and it was during his pas torate there that the church began its drive to remodel the church building. EXTENDING TIME - FROM PAGE ONE - stamps, it is stated. Inventory forms have been mailed to dealers and those who have not already received them should apply at once. The report is to be made in duplicate, with only one copy to be retained by the dealer and the other to be mail ed to the OPA Inventory Unit, Em pire State building, New York City. Interchangeability o f ration books between members of a family living in the same house hold remains in force under the new amendment and provisions for issuance of special shoe purchase stamps for those who need addi tional shoes are unchanged, ex cept boards are asked to become more rigid. There are a number of indus trial workers in the county who seem to wear out their shoes rap idly, partly because of wet floor, etc., and Dr. Zachary suggested that they use rubber boots and ov ershoes as much as possible. All persons who buy defective shoes and want to get them replac ed should take shoes to office of the board and obtain another stamp so that dealers can make replacements without having to take them out of inventories, he said. “It is necessary that these cases be reported to us within 30 days from time of purchase and the de fective shoes must be shown to board members,” Dr. Zachary stated. FUNERAL SERVICE IS HELD FOR MRS. DeVANE Funeral service was held last Friday afternoon at the Gillespie cemetery in Brevard for Mrs. Frank DeVane, 67, who died at the home of her daughter in Green wich, Conn., on September 22. The funeral service was held in Greenwich the preceding day. Rev. W. A. Jenkins, pastor of the Brevard Methodist church, con ducted funeral rites at the grave. One daughter, Mrs. J. C.

The first American Declaration ot Independence was signed at Charlotte, N. C., in 1775. More Bandages Now Being Made Here Production in the Red Cross surgical dressing room here has increased considerably during the past few weeks, Mrs. Edwin Happ, supervisor, announced today. Instead of devoting only one night each week to inspecting and packaging, it is now necessary to do this work three nights week ly, she stated. One reason for the increased production is due to the valuable assistance of the members of Cir cle 5 of the First Baptist church and of the ladies of the Brevard Presbyterian church. One night last week the Bap tist ladies set a record of mak ing 1090 bandages in one evening and a few nights later the Pres byterians came along and nearly doubled this record by making 2020 bandages. COLORED CHOIR SANG HERE A large crowd heard the color ed choir of West Asheville sing at Cedar Mountain Baptist church last Sunday afternoon. Fifteen singers comprise the choir, which rates high as colored singers. Rev. Frank Fenwick was in charge of the service.
