The local water supply seems quite adequate and the fire department, on an average, reaj,es jre3 Terv qUicyyt factor that are against wholesale contla- 5rat:ons. Bat we have had some 8erious-!ook:ng blues with- ' , 6 The price of safety is eternal vigi lance. More rigid fire inspection , the removal of as many fire '.rials, as far as possible, should be kept at safe distance from buildings Piles o (trash, waste paper and de bris shouid not be allowed to ac cumulate in cellars, woodsheds oi other places where they might start a seriuus lire. In oth'-r words, we should have fire.prevention week the year around. Now that the limits have been ex-'.i-nded the time is coming when at least another fire station will be a requirement. High Po nt is spread vi r a lot of ground and all of its residents are entitled to protection from lire. In increasing the insurance on local school property by $1000,000 he school board evidently realize? that the fire hazard here is some what greater thin In the average ity. The fire department at New 3ern is not held responsible for the holocaust there it was fighting a bad fire in a distant part of the city when the wholesale conflagration tarted. If the fire-fiRhtine facili- ies in High Point should bf Urengthened, in the opinion of rts, there should be no complaint in the part of those who pay Ihe taxes. The increased cost of protec on would be slight In comparison o wholesale destruction such as New Bern has Just witnessed. Propertv hat goes up in snroke Is a total loss ootwithstanding the fact that insuf- mce plays a part in compensating for it. The insurance has to bf mid for. That which is destroyed y fire is gone forever, boyonj re ilaeeinept.

In his address at Union Cross, would have given the public the historic setting of th! great highway. For some time he has been studying the subject and has found that it 1 impossible to determine the age ot this roaj. , . Long ifore the white man ever set toot on this continent this high way was used by the Indians. For years, perhaps for centuries, It was an Indian Trail from the mountains of North Carolina and Tennessee and Virginia to the Cape Fear river, thence to the sea below Wilmihg about where Fayettevillc now la, and ton- ,v, The first white men to us,e this trail were the Moravians who set tled at Bethabara. above Winston. Salem, and the Quakers who soon afterward established a settlement not far from where High Point now tands. Later it became tne general outlet for trade for all this section As early as 1775 portions of this; oad were improved for military pur-j poses and later General Green's ny marcnei over pari oi u. vum vallis and his army of seven thou ;and also marched over it and Wash- ngton traveled this way when no isited Salem in 171. In 1849 this highway was a part f the longest plank road in the vorld. It extended 12t miles rrpm iethania to Fayetteville. The build, ng of the North Carolina railroad, mwever. which by a strange coinci- lence was chartered by the legisla- ure in the same year that the burnt ng of the plank road authoriz-, d. eventually killed tins n.gnway nd in 1S62 the plank road b-.tw 'ii A'inston-Salem and High Point, the (instruction of wh ch cost tnn-iy housand dollars, was sold f or 725.50. After the old plank road was aban oned little attention ' was paid to ighway building or upkeep. North 'arolina and her people were to usy build ng railroads to think uch about highways. Then the au imobile came along. Anti with the utomobile has come the resiorat.'oti f the old plank load, except tnal in tead of plank for a surf-ice the mcr? 'urable concrete has b 'en us?d. ith the result that a highway has t last been construct1! which Is I alined to he as perm men: as the iorth Carolina railroad.

The amount of insurance of the Elm street school it plans' to raise from $23,500 to$f0,000.The present equipment insurance for this school is $1,250. The board expects to ra se this amount to $4,000. The amount ot insurance on the Emma Blair school building will probably be raised from 552,000 to $70,000. The amount on the furnishings ot this building will be left at the present sum of $."..0ou. The amount of insurance on the Park street school will be rais. ol, fronl t000 to $2,000. There is io insurance on the equ'pmeut of this bunding, but t'ie hoard expects to take out $500 w.irth. At present there is $:,$50 insurance on the Grimes street school. This amount will be raised to' $15,000 on the old section of the building only. The new section which is now under con r.truction is noy under the responsi bility tfiiHiev-cOntractor. l. lis.uran.-jo cn the TiVonar j street school will be raised from $18,000 to $23,000 and insurance on the furnishings will be taken Out in the amount of $3,000. Insurance on the old Fairview street school will be cancelled. It is believed that the action of the council in increasing the amounts of insurance on the various ttchool buildings Is a very timely step untj that it will be received favorably by the citizens of the city While the board did not take any definite action last n ght in the mat ter of providing school facilit'es for the children brought within the city limits by the last election, it d!d issue a statement through its chairman ihat arrangements wll bft inado tq tuKouateiy care for the cniidren at ithe opening of school next-lall.
