court house at Dobson, according
to plans announced last week by

the Franklin marker during the
next year, and elaborate unveil

next Armistice Day, November 11,
1939. The plains for the cere
monies next year even include an
invitation to President Franklin
D. Roosevelt and a concerted ef
fort to have the New Deal leader
attend.
The invitation to President
Roosevelt will be extended by
Congressman A. D. Folger, who
goes to Washington this year as
fifth district representative. In
case the President is unable to at
tend, it was said that a member
of his cabinet will be invited.
The plans for the veterans'
monument was conceived by A.
H. Wolfe in 1923, and he has
personally conducted a campaign
which resulted in the contribu
tion of about $2,000 to a fund for
the purpose. His movement is
backed by the welfare board,
which includes W. M. Allen, of
Elkin; John G. Lewellyn of Dob
son; and Mrs. R. J. Lovill, of
