Brochure Describing Six-Lake
Area Issued By R. R. B. Ass n.
A brochure which describes
the Roanoke River Valley In
Virginia and North Carolina
with Its six recently-created
lakes as a "Vacation Paradise"
has Just been Issued by the Roa
noke River Basin Association.
The Association, which has been
the moving force behind the de
velopment of the Roanoke River
Valley for the past twenty
three years, Is composed of
citizens up and down the Valley:
i who contribute annually to the
work of the Association on a
voluntary basis.
The six lakes which have been
created are the Buggs Island
Lake behind the John H. Kerr
Dam at Buggs Island, Va., and
the Philpott Lake on the Smith
River In Virginia, both of which
were built by the Corps of
Engineers, U. S. Army, with
Federal funds; Lake Gaston and
Roanoke Rapids Lake, both of
which are In North Carolina and
were constructed by the
Virginia Electric and Power
Company; and the Smith Moun
tain Lake on the upper reaches
of the Roanoke River and the
Leesvllle Lake a few miles from
the Smith Mountain Lake, both
of which were built by the Ap- i
palachlan Power Company and
were completed In 1963 and the
lakes were impounded this year.
The brochurwpoints out that
the six lakes along the river
have a combined water area of
over one hundred thousand
acres, and a variety of accom
modations such as rest rooms,
motels, and so on are in pro
cess of consturctlon or have
been constructed around each
of the lakes, offering the pub
lic excellent fishing, camping
and water sports. The brochure
also points to the section as
an excellent opportunity for In
dustry which needs good water
In abundance, with a network of
fine highways crisscrossing the
area.
Maps are furnished of each
lake and public facilities are
listed and it Is pointed out that
In addition to the privately
owned facilities for vacationers
there are numerous public
camping grounds which are
operated by the Federal Gov
ernment and the State govern
ments of North Carolina and
Virginia. The Buggs Island Lake
and Lake Gaston each have
shorelines In both of the states
and on these lakes there Is a
reciprocal agreement between
Virginia and North Carolina
which permits the use of re
sident and non-resident fishing
licenses and permits In the
waters of both states.
The title of the brochure Is
"Take The River Road To A
Six Lake Vacation Paradise"
and It was compiled and pro
fessionally supervised for the
Roanoke River Basin Associa
tion by The Tom Evans Com
pany of High Point, specialists
in advertising and public re

of the advertising divisions of
the states of Virginia and North

chure have been Issued and an

300 - FOOT TEMPORARY TOWER
Temporary Tower Is
Erected At Afton
Afton cjtlzens this week were ]
In the position of now you see
It and now you don't.
Early In the week residents
of this community saw a300-ft.
steel tower reaching skyward
from a field on the Afton
Henderson highway about three
quarters of a mile from Its
Intersection with Highway 401.
By the end of the week the
tower will be gone.
The erection of the tempor
ary tower Monday was a part
of the American Telephone and
Telegraph Company's plan to
replace toll wire with high fre
quency radio over a route lead
ing from Washington, D. C.,
to Jackson, Miss.
Tuesday morning the tower
was In place and Claude Old
ham, associate engineer, and
Bill McMlne, linesman, were
running an antenna up and down
the tower to determine at what
point It would clear all trees
and other obstructions. Oldham
said his guess was that this point
would be in the neighborhood
of 200 feet.
The temporary tower will be
replaced by a permanent tower,
perhaps 200 feet high, about
eight months from now, Oldham
said.
A temporary tower similar to
the one erected at Afton was
also erected near Bunn In
Franklin County, and when per
manent towers are erected they
will be spaced about 25 miles
apart, all the way from Wash
ington, D. C., to Jackson, Miss.,
Oldham said.
The high frequency messages
will be transmitted from one
tower to another and amplified
at each transmitter point. This
high frequency eliminates dis
turbances from electrical,
storms, Oldham said. Unless a
towar Is knocked down by a
storm, he said, the servlcewlll
not be Interrupted,
McMlne said a crew of seven
erected the tower Monday. Us
ually about ten men are used
on such a project, he said, but
Monday several of the crew
where absent. Plans to ersct
the tower on Sunday were de
layed because of a rain storm,
he added.
Oldham and McMlne have
been working out of Henderson
this week, but plan to leave
that city Saturday.
