During the floods this week, the river level at North Wilkesboro below the dam was held just below flood stage. U.S. Engineers estimated that, without the dam, flooding certainly would have occurred in the Wilkesboro-Elkins section of the Yadkin Valley. Senator B. EVERETT JORDAN, Washington, D.C. WAKE COUNTY YOUNG DEMOCRATIC CLUB, Raleigh, N.C., March 27, 1963. DEAR SENATOR JORDAN: Enclosed is a copy of a resolution unanimously adopted by the Wake County Young Democratic Club. I trust that you will give it due consideration. EDWARD E. HOLLOWELL, Secretary. RESOLUTION OF WAKE COUNTY YOUNG DEMOCRATIC CLUB, MARCH 21, 1963 Whereas the Corps of Army Engineers have proposed to control floods and conserve the water resources of the Cape Fear River Basin by building a series of large dams in the upper reaches of the Cape Fear River; and Whereas the proposed dam which would be of most benefit to Wake County would be known as the New Hope Dam; and Whereas the water contained by the New Hope Dam would be of unlimited value to the citizens of Wake County and to the municipalities containing a large number of these citizens in the search carried on by those municipalities for new industry; and Whereas the industrial growth so vitally needed to give employment to the unemployed in Wake County will be linked directly to the water resources available to new industry, and to water-based recreation; and Whereas the Research Triangle area which now appears as a vital segment of the economic growth of Wake County is already experiencing water difficulties; and Whereas the rapid growth of the Research Triangle area would be greatly enhanced by the construction of the New Hope Dam and by the waters contained therein: Now, therefore, be it Resolved, That the Young Democratic Club of Wake County go on record as of this date endorsing to the fullest the plans approved by the Corps of Army Engineers for the development of the Cape Fear River Basin and the construction of the New Hope Dam; and be it further Resolved, That a copy of this resolution be sent to the U.S. Senators from North Carolina and to Congressman Harold D. Cooley. Done at a meeting of the Wake County Young Democratic Club in Raleigh this 21st day of March 1963. Attest: GEORGE M. STEPHENS, Jr., President of Wake County Young Democratic Club. EDWARD E.
