Y This Week’s EDITORIAL .Speeding on Montreat and Blue Ridge roads reached and passed the danger point long ago. As anyone who has traveled these roads regularly for any length of time will know, there are certain drivers who delight in roaring up and down these roads without regard for life or property. That there have not been many accidents certainly is no fault of those in ques tion. , Not many days ago a car, which was making a left turn and clearly had the right of way, was forced to take to the ditch to avoid being struck by one of these racers. A few days later a heavy truck roared out of a side street onto Montreat road without stopping and almost collided with cars coming, from each direction. As long as this situation continues neither pedestrians nor motorists are safe on either of these two streets. The time to stop it is now before a serious accident occurs on one or | both. If there are no laws against speeding on Montreat road or Blue Ridge road, then we need some. If there are laws, let’s see that they are enforced. So long as the city streets are used for race tracks, no one is safe. Lions Club Will Sponsor Drive Fer Fire Fighting Equipment O ? CAMPAIGN OUTLINED AT MEETING MONDAY NIGHT At a meeting last Monday night, members of the Lions club, meet ing with the city officials, out lined plans to raise funds which the city needs for bringing its fire-fighting equipment up to the requirements necessary, if we re tain our present low insurance rates. The matter was brought to the attention of the Lions club Board of Directors at a previous meet ing, and the directors decided to sponsor the drive by a direct can vass, in which all funds contributed could be turned over to the city. In making the drive, the terri tory is divided into four districts:; Ridgecrest; everything east of the Montreat No. 9 highways. Montreat; bounded by the Mon treat road, U. S. 70, and Crag mont roads. Blue Ridge; Bound ed by highwaps No. 9, U. S. 70, and .the Blue Ridge road. West End; everything west of the Blue Ridge and Cragmont roads. Each of these four sections will have a Team-Captain in charge of *U the Lions living in their respec tive districts, and will begin the drive on June 2. The Lions club will have a Ladies’ and Guests night at Blue Ridge on June 26, which is scheduled as the closing time of this campaign. The Black Mountain Fire De partment is incorporated and has some fifty members. They own the building, truck, and most of the equipment. The present truck was purchased in 1926 at a cost of $d'2,500.00. When the City Hall was built, the fire department sold I part of their lot to the town, for which the town paid $6,000.00 out standing indebtedness on the truck. For several years the original. fire-fighting organization has 1 been managed by the city. About! sihGo.oo has been bugeted each year to meet incidental expenses. Property owners with improved property outside the city limits have been asked to contribute to ward the maintenance of the de partment. Only about one-half the amount called for has been do nated, though it has been the policy of the fire department to answer every alarm. At this time, the difficulties and headaches are not confined to the city officials, but it seems to reflect upon the owner of each piece of improved property, either inside or outside the city bound ► Ehrlich Named “Man Os Month” o W. J. Ehrlich former Merchant Marine and Coast Guard Reserve officer, who is making his per manent home in North Carolina, has recently been named “Man of the Month” by Farm Bureau In surance companies for his record in writing Life, Auto. Casualtv. and Fire Insurance during the month of April. Friends are in vited to visit him at his place of business which is located in R. S. Eckles’ Real Estate office. ries. For The Carolina Fire In surance Rating Bureau is begin ning to clamp down on Black Mountain, and the result will be either better equipment or higher insurance rates. It could result in no fire protection at all for those living outside the city limits. By Committee Chairman.
