Fighting the Floods
Description
Article states that no lives were lost in the flood of the previous day. No injuries were reported, either. Property damage was largely limited to farms, and was lower than expected. Red Cross disaster units operated in the area, and a unit of the National Guard was mobilized near Canton to evacuate families. Crews are working to repair roads. A statement on the strength and unity of the people of Western North Carolina is printed. The author reminds the reader that floods are largely preventable, and states that "the time has come to think about prevention with the same anxiety which is manifest when floods appear".
