Overlooking
White Lake
New Problem
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In the Sir Waiter Hotel.

Raleigh, Aug. 29-Continued rains
throughout the State have brought
the Department of Conservation and
Development problem harder to
solve than how to keep its official
feet dry.
White Lake, in Bladen county, has
risen foot to foot and half above
it's customary level and as a result is
flooding the front yards, the cellars,
and in some cases even the rooms
of cottages and other structures a.
round the lakes edge.
The lake belongs to the State and
is under the care and custody of
the Department of Conservation and
Development Hence the fact that
cottage owners and other interested
people have come hot-footing it to
Raleigh in an effort to get the de-
partment to do something about it.
Which, of course, brings up the
question "What?"; and that's the
thing that has the department stump
ed just at present.
There isn't any great doubt about
what is necessary to relieve the Sit
uation, that's simple enough, there
ought to be spillways opened up
through some of the area surround
ing the lake; these spillways ought
to be cleared of stumps and foliage
and other distractions and the excess
water in the lake allowed to drain
peacefully off into other streams
which would carry it to the sea.
The obstacle is that the State, while
it does own the lake itself, owns no
land around the lake on which it is
feasible to construct spillways which
would do any good. All this land is
owned by private citizens who
haven't yet given any permission
to use their land. The department.
in addition, hasn't any money avail
able to do the work if it did own
the land.
Just the same, State Forester j. S.
Holmes, has today gone down to
White Lake to see what he can do
He expects to get permission to make
the spillways and do the drainage
and is hopeful he can get CCC boys
to do it at government expense. But
by then the lake will probably be
normal anyhow.

BRIDGE CRASH FATAL
TO COUPLE IN MOORE

Hemp, Aug. 29.-Two persons lost
their lives and five others were Sc
riously injured when an automobile
crashed head-On into Buffalo creek
Lridge on the Charlotte-Raleigh
highway two miles south of Hemp
carly yesterday.

residents of this community. The
injured are Paul Williams, Jim Will
liams, husband of the dead woman,

The crash occurred between and
7:30 o'clock this morning while the
occupants of the car were on their
way home from work at the Pine
hurst Silk mills in Hemp. There
we're no witnesses to the crash.
However, the tracks made by the
car before the wreck led officers to
believe that it left the highway ap-
ploximately 100 feet before hitting
the bridge, falling down the en-
bankment beside the creek. The
car was owned by Paul Williams
but it could not be ascertained who
was driving at the time of the crash.
All occupants of the car were
knocked unconscious and we're
rushed to Moore county hospital in
PInehurst in ambulances. Mrs. Will
liams and Mr.. Morgan died short
while after reaching the hospital.
Little hope is held for Hubert Rit-
ter and Ruby Garner. The others
have a good chance to live.
