BOXES ABE SENT TO NEW BERN TO HELP SUFFERERS CITY COUNCIL IS TOLD TO PROVIDE Deputy Insurance Commission er Brockwell Talks to the Councilmen NEW BERN IS EXAMPLE Mr. Brockwell Brings Hand Information of Awful Holocaust Firsl I . I the MAY ADOPT ORDINANCE State Flrp Marshall Nuggrts Antl. Kliiiiftle. Hoof Ordinance For " the City; To Hold a Meeting Sherwood Brockwell insurance commissioner of Carolina, .old the city council at its, regular meeting last night that High Point ought to take precautionary measures against tires by adopting on nf ..V 1 1 II 1 1 , an auii.Biiiiigic ruui urumance. Al though no definite action was taken regarding the enactment of the or dinance, the councld did take tenia, live action in calling a special meet ing to decide wbether such a law is to be pasf'ed. No date was named for this special meeting, but it will be called by Mayor John W. Hed. rick in the near future. Having Just returned from New Bern, where he witnessed the fire that wiped out 46 blocks In that city, Incurring a total property losi of more- than $2,00,0600 and caus ing more than 3,000 persons to go homeless,. Mr. Brockwell was pre pared -to give the councilmen first hand 'Information concerning what he described as North Carolina's greatest conflagration, New Bern was unprepared, he said, and that is wHy.ihe city was visited by such an awful holocaust lat Friday."

Shingle' roofs are largely respon sible for fires, it was pointed out by Mr,; Brockwell. , It is ., very easy for ;a shingle; roof to .become ignited from a falling: spaTk 'and that Is why ft' lA essential that buildings be erected with roofing that is not combustible. North Carolina's deputy Are insur. anco commissioner does not befiieve the anti-shingle roof ordinance will work a hardship on any individual. A roof passing tho regulation tests can be built more cheaply than the shingle roof, and then there will be a tremendous saving In the cost of Insurance, he declared. Other Cities Adopt It. Mr. Brockwell read copies of ordi. nances adopted by other cities in N'orth Carolina, prohibiting the erec tion of buildings with shingle roof3. These ordinances, which were adopted after the cities had suffered -heavy losses by fire have been found entirely satis factory, he said, adding that he was confident such an ordinance would work equally as satisfactory in High Point. Among North Carolina cit ies in Which the antl.shingle ordi nance is now in effect are Winston Salem and Durham. Mr. Brockwell also read a letter written for the municipal author!. ties in North Carolina by the state Insurance department. This letter was declared to have been written more than a month ago, long before the New Bern disaster. In the com munication, the authorities of the cities and towns of North Carolina were urged to adopt antl.shingle roof ordinances as a precautionary measure against fire. While speaking to the councilmen, Mr. Brockwell declared that It Is Im possible to operate successfully and entirely satisfactory a pumper with only three men. At least five men are needed, he said. At present the pumper of the High Point fire de. partment is operated by only three men, but it is highly probable that the man-power will be increased lm. mediately. Mr. BrockweKl also took occasion to offer a word of praise tor Fire Chief A. B. Homey, of the High roint department. "I bavo known your Are chief for many years," said Mr. Brockwell "and I know that in tho national firemen's conventions his advice la sought." The councilmen apparently were heartily in favor ot the suggestions otfited by the deputy insurance com missioner. Councilman E. K. In gram said he already was "sold" to the proposition because he had learn, ed from his experience as fire chief In Hlah Point that the city needed' 10 laxe rne neceseary iiimouwum guard against conflagrations. ''Bat, we are serving the public," said Mr,; 'Ingram, "and I think we ought to give this matter the prop er publicity and see what the cltL sens ot High Point think about it." , Flro Chief Favors Ordinance. FIra Chief Horney was asked by the council to express his views coa - cernlng the proposed "ordinance. The chief was heartily in favor of It. II (CoBtinued on rags Four, G& Brt.net.

And there stood a tea wagon with a couple of kegs, a coal scuttle and a dust pan on It to make the whole contraption look like a concrete mixer. On the long tables here and there were toy dump carts, wagons, horses, and eccn min. iature Ford trucks loaded with rocks and sand. The menus were blue printed and the first course was call, ed "preliminary work" and the sec ond the "foundation." Roast Guil-1 ford turkey was served "reinforced with cranberry sauce." Thus the menu was given In appropriate I nhrases throuphout. Then, too. the Klwanians were dressed appropri ately, the local members of the club i being togged in overalls with red bandana handkerchiefs around their necks ;and tho visiting Klwanians aud other persons With bluo banda. nas tied, over their collars. Every thing was appropriate. The program committee, composed of S. C. Clark, chairman; F. J. Slzemore and Ralph Farker had planned It that way. There were stunts' and practical jokes.

This donation was announced just after the Trinity alumni meeting held in Raleigh dur ing tho North Carolina Methodist conference. In making his contribution to this fund, the campaign for which Is get. ting under way in North Carolina ;nd other states. Mr. Vann writes: "1 believe there are a great many Methodists in North Carolina who 'do not give to Trinity for the same reason that I have deferred this so long, and that Is, they really do not know what a fine college thny havo and the great interest in this insti tution the Dukes have taken. There h; no doubt about their being great benefactors to the state of North j Carolina and especially to the Meth. odist church. They must be good men, ehie they would net do what they have done and are doing. I for one Methodist, am under lasting ob ligations to these men for their gen. erosity, and long after the few peo-1 pie in North Carolina who are dis. posed to criticize them are gone and forgotten they will live on and on for centuries."
