Closing Gaston
Dam Gates Put
Off Two Weeks
LITTLETON? Closing of
the gates on the huge Gaston
hydro-electric project near Lit
tleton has been delayed at
least two weeks.
The reservoir area behind
the Virginia Electric and Pow
er Company project was sched
uled to begin filling with
water Oct. 1. The lake area
has not been completely clear
ed, however, and the gate
closing target date has been
postponed as a result.
Wiley Fortune of Roanoke
, Rapids, district manager for
VEPCO, said the date was
moved back two weeks to per
mit additional time for the
clearing work.
The reservoir clearing con
*' tractors, Bowles and Jackson,
have been hampered by an un
usual amount of rain this sum
mer, but it had been expected
that the Oct. 1 target date for
closing the dam gates would
be met until last week.
The concrete portion of the
dam is now virtually complete.
Exccpt for the sluices in the
spillway section which will be
filled after closure, practically
all concrete has been poured,
company officials said.
(The sluices are holes in
the spillway which permit the
river to flow through the
structure while the portion of
the dam is under construction.)
The submerged weir sur
rounding the turbine intake
has been completed.
In the power house section
of the dam, the four turbine
and generator sets are still
under construction, but this
work will not delay closing the
dam gates and filling of the
reservoir area.

said.
The thief or thieves had un

Farmers Fail To
Plant All Tobacco
Warren County tobacco grow
ers underplanted the county
allotment by 152.04 acres in
1952. T. E. Watson, ASCS
office manager, announced that
Warren's final tobacco allot
ment is 6,347.70 acres and
a tabulation of the harvested
acres shows that 6,195.66 acres
were harvested on 1712 farms.
The tabulation further shows
that 107 allotment farms with
33.71 acres did not plant any
tobacco.
"In 1962 the lease and trans
fer of tobacco allotments was
permissible for the first time
and 194 grower? leased their
allotment to other farms,"
Watson said. "Soma 279 acres
were transferred to other
farms under this provision.
Congress authorized this trans
fer in early 1962 on a year
to-year basis for 1932 and
1963, and transfer lease agree
ments must be approved by
the County ASC Committee."
Leases filed for 1962 crop
expire at the end of this year
and must be renewed if the
lease is to comtinue for the
1963 crop, Watson said.
