North Wilkesboro—Business in
North Wilkesboro is slowly re
turning to a state of near nor
malcy following the disastrous
flood August 14, and persons
thrown out of work because of
fire and flood are finding jobs.
Continued claims for unem
ployment insurance at the em
ployment office here are not
nearly so numerous as was first
expected and only a comparative
ly small number of the about
2,000 temporarily thrown out of
work remain jobless.
Salvaging tasks about flooded
industrial plants have provided
work for a large number of em
ployees until plants can reopen.
The International Shoe Com
pany, which lost the main tan
nery plant here by fire in the
midst of the flood, has been using
many of its employees in clean
up and salvage work.
