RALEIGH, Jan. 8. — The
state highway and public works
commission will hold its
monthly meeting here tomor
row, and there was speculation
tonight as to whether Gover
nor Cherry would have any
thing to say to the board in the
nature of a follow-up on his ul
timatum of several weeks ago
about secondary roads. Gover
nor Cherry told his press con
ference this afternoon that he
had no announcement to make
about an appearance before
this commission tomorrow. A
large map of the state spread
out on the Governor’s office
desk when his press conference
opened led some newsmen to
surmise that there was a con
nection with this map and the
highway meeting tomorrow.
However, Governor Cherry ex
plained that he had been look
ing at the map to find the best
way to go from Raleigh to
Asheville.

THOUSANDS of Kentuck
ians along the Cumberland and
Big Sandy river valleys fled for
their lives Tuesday as these
two flood-filled streams spread
death and destruction along
their paths. Elsewhere in the
southeastern states, hundreds
were marooned by swollen
streams and at least five per
sons were reported drowned in
Tennessee. Georgia, Alabama,
North Carolina and West Vir
ginia also were hit by floods
which disrupted communica
tions and blocked highways.
The death toll reached two in
Kentucky, when a negro was
<found drowned in his water

prowned Monday near Harlan.
A WALKOUT of 7,000 West

business communications all

k President Truman said today
P* the United States has no rea
son to believe that Russia pos
sesses an atomic bomb, and he
heartily endorsed Secretary of
State James F. Byrnes’ stand
on the international atomic is

before leaving for London,
Byrnes assured the nation that
its atomic interests are fully

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8.—In
a stinging rebuke to servicemen
demonstrating against slow de
mobiliaztion, President Truman
asserted today that the army
and navy are releasing men as
speedily as possible in the face
* of the critical overseas needs.
He strongly defended the de
mobilization program in a 500
word statement which remind
ed impatient GI’s and sailors,
and marines, that this nation
must do its part in maintaining
world peace. Consequently,
thousands of them must con
tinue to serve in armies of oc

Plan To Honor
Mr. Chatham At
Special Dinner
Will Be Staged
At Gilvin Roth
YMCA Jan. 31st
At a meeting of representative
merchants and business men at
the City Hall Monday afternoon,
plans were discussed for a Recog
nition Dinner to be held here
Thursday evening, January 31,
for Thurmond Chatham, chair
man of the board of the Chatham
Manufacturing Company.
The dinner is to be tendered as
an expression of appreciation to
Mr. Chatham, and to the Chat
ham Company, on the part of the
citizens of Elkin; for the many
benefits made possible for the
town.
According to present plans, the
dinner will be held at the Gilvin
Roth Y. M. C. A., beginning at
6:30 p. m. Carl Goerch, editor
and publisher of The State Maga
zine, Raleigh, will act as master
of ceremonies. Proceedings will
be broadcast over Radio Station
WSJS, Winston-Salem, from 7.30
to 8:00.
In addition to citizens of Elkin
who will attend the dinner, prom
inent out-of-town guests will be
invited, including many close
friends of Mr. Chatham.
It is felt that now the war is
over, no better time than the
present could be selected to honor
Elkin's most outstanding citizen.
For the past four years Mr. Chat
ham has been away, serving his
country in the U. S. Navy, yet
even during the time he has been
away Elkin has seen and felt his
influence in a great many ways.
Now that he has been retired to
inactive duty, it is felt that Elkin
should express its thanks and
gratitude.
The beautiful Gilvin Roth Y. M.
C. A. is one of the outstanding
contributions to Elkin and sur
rounding communities of Mr.
Chatham and his company. This
imposing structure, with modern
gymnasium, play room, sound mo
tion picture facilities and beauti
ful swimming pool, is an asset
that any town, no matter how
great its size, could be proud.
It is in the gymnasium of the
Y. M. C. A. building that the
recognition dinner will be held,
and it goes without saying that a
huge crowd will be on hand to
testify to the love and esteem in
which Mr. Chatham is held by ev
eryone.

SURRY IS OVER
TOP IN EIGHTH
BOND CAMPAIGN
E-Bond Quota And Overall
Quota Are Both Exceeded
E-BONDS TOTAL $502,142
Overall Sales In County An
nounced By Chairman Yok
ley As $2,488,307.50
EXPRESS APPRECIATION
The eighth and final bond drive
has ended and Surry county has
met her challenge in the Victory
drive that came to a close on De
cember 31, just as she has done
in the seven previous War Loans,
although up until the final figures
were announced the E-bond sales
continued to lag. With the end
of the drive a realization and the
figures showing an overage of
$48,142 in E-bonds and $1,443,
307.50 in the overall quota, ac
cording to the alloted assignment,
officials of the drive are extremely
pleased to express their sincere
appreciation to those who have
made this achievement possible.
The Elkin district reports a tot
al of approximately $197,300.00
sold in E-bonds here during the
seven weeks of the drive, accord
ing to Miss Mattie Mae Powell,
chairman of the local drive. The
chief bond selling agencies in Elk
in were the Bank of Elkin, the tJ.
S. Post Office, Building and Loan
Association office, and the Chat
ham Manufacturing Credit Union.
Much has been done by these four
agencies in making the seven
War Bond drives and the one
Victory Loan successful, officials
say, and honorable mention is due
them for the expedient energy
spent during the drives imposed in
the war years. These agencies
will continue to issue bonds to
those wishing to buy.
J. F. Yokley, of Mount Airy,
Surry county’s bond drive chair
man, reports final figures in the
drive as follows: E-bond sales,
$502,142.50 — with quota set at
$454,000.0(1:' overall sales, $2,488,
307.50 — with quota set at $1,045.
000.00. Mr. Yokley wishes to ex
tend to all workers his apprecia
tion, not only in this drive but in
all previous ones, for the good job
that has been done by all, the
workers and the buyers, who have
worked together through the years
just passed to make possible the
fact that Surry county has not
let her fighting men and women
down by slacking in the ibond
sales.
As a final warning, suggestion
has been made that holders of
bonds keep them. Do not cash
them in, they urge, as there are
still millions of boys left on for
eign soil who need food, clothing,
entertainment and most of all
transportation facilities so that
they, too, can be brought back
home for keeps. With the matur
ity value of the bonds being ob
tainable in ten years from the
purchase date at a much higher
amount of interest than can be
gained elsewhere, it behooves
every bond holder to wait that
time to cash bonds, officials say.

SET UP PLANS
FOR RAT DRIVE
U. S. Public Health Service
Officials Arrive In
Elkin Monday
FIGHT AGAINST TYPHUS
Lieut. J. N. Farlow, and Mr.
Brewer, of the United States Pub
lic Health Service, arrived in Elk
in Monday to set up a typhus
control program for the Town of
Elkin.
Mr. Brewer, whose initials were
not learned, was engaged Wed
nesday in moving his family here
from Mooresville. Lieut. Farlow,
who was only recently discharged
from the U. S. Army, is from Win
ston-Salem.
According to plans, all business
buildings in the downtown section
will be made rat-proof at the ex
pense of the owners under a long
range program aimed at the elim
ination of ail rats. Occupants of
the various buildings will be ex
pected to pay the expense of
eradicating rats within the build
ings, this to be done by poison
and trapping.
Rat fleas carry typhus fever
from rats to rats and from rats
to man. The control program, by
controlling the rat population will
in turn control the rat flea popu
lation. Buildings will be so treat
ed that it will be impossible for
rats to enter, and by also elimin
ating the rat food supply by prop
er garbage disposal, etc., it is hop
ed that rats will soon be reduced
to a minimum.
The program is expected to
take from six to seven months to
carry through. It is backed both
by the town and by local civic or
ganizations and business men.

A
2-Year Romance
Ends 25 Minutes
After Meeting
The fatal injury of two young
people, sweethearts, in an auto
truck crash near Yadkinville Sat
urday afternoon, ended a romance
of two years, standing, that began
on the battlefields of World War
II, when Miss Lucy Ann Beaman,
20. of Yadkinville, and her fiancee,
Alva Denver Reynolds, 26, of
Huntington, W. Va., died. They
had never seen each other until
25 minutes before they were fatal
ly injured.
The crash occured in front of
Miss Beaman’s home, one mile
south of Yadkinville, and both of
them died within one minute of
each other in an ambulance at
Baptist Hospital, Winston-Salem,
while waiting to be admitted to
the hospital. A call had been
sent out for doctors, but none had
arrived at the time of their death
— but in a few minutes a dozen
swarmed on the scene — too late.
Miss Beaman is a daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. John Beaman, who
live one mile south of Yadkinville.
She was born December 21, 1925,
making her 20 years and 15 days
old. Mr. Reynolds was a son of
Mr. and Mrs. Alva Reynolds, of
Huntington, W. Va. He was born
in Cincinnatti, Ohio, May 12, 1919.
He entered the army June 26,
1941, and saw much service over
seas. He was discharged Novem
ber 27. and returned to his home.
How Romance Began
It was on a battlefield during
the late war that a brother of
Miss Beaman, Luther Beaman, in
advertently displayed a picture
of his sister to his buddy friend,
Alva Denver Reynolds. He liked
the picture and asked Beaman if
he might write his sister a letter.
That was two years ago. He wrote
the letter and there was born a
romance that ended in the pitiful
tragedy, and death, here Satur
day, just as the romance was
about to be culminated in mar
riage. In his pocket he carried a
diamond wedding ring and band
and they planned marriage im
mediately.
Reynolds arrived in Yadkinville
Saturday morning on a bus from
West Virginia. Early in the af
ternoon Miss Beaman and her
brother, Henry Beaman, came to
town to meet him as previously
arranged by correspondence. They
met, walked around the square
with some friends, and then start
ed to Miss Beaman’s home to in
troduce her new found friend to
her mother and father.
Reaching the Beaman home,
Henry Beaman, a brother of Miss
Beaman, driver of the A-model
coupe attempted to make a right
hand ttirn into the Beaman drive
way, when a heavy truck, owned
by the Carolina Chinaware Co., of
Charlotte and driven by J. B.
Wallace, of that city, crashed into
the light coupe, turning it over
and demolishing it beyond des
cription, fatally injuring the two
sweethearts and injuring the driv
er. They were rushed to Baptist
hospital but died before entering.
The truck was occupied by Mr.
Wallace, the driver, and his wife,
who had accompanied him to Sa
lem, Ohio, for a load of china
