URGENT NEED FOR PROTECTION
REASON FOR INSURANCE ACTION
RED SPRINGS — Merits of the
State Insurance Fund as compared
with policies written for school-
house coverage by the old line
companies were not considered in
placing the insurance on the school
properties of the lied Springs
Special Charter District, accord
ing to a special transcript of the
minutes of the meeting issued
Wednesday for publication
It was explained that due to the
urgency of needed additional cov
erage on the properties, and the
fact that the average rates for, the
Insurance Fund policies' over a
prolonged period of years could
not now be determined, the board
approved increasing the coverage
to $304,000 through the companies
represented by local insurance
agencies.
Meeting with the board were E.
H. Alexander, Hiram Grantham
and R. A. McConaughey, Jr., and
Wakefield Mowery, a special.agent
of the Camden Insurance- Com
pany. Both State Fund and local
insurance rates were compared
and discussed for a lengthy time.
The following reasons were given
for buying old line insurance in
stead of insuring through the
State Insurance Fund:
(Editor’s Note: The following was
not made available for publication
until Wednesday, Nov. 9, though
the action by the board was taken
an October 25.)
1. Stock company rates are
guaranteed for a period of five
3. Insurance from stock com
panies allow the School Board co
pay for 30 per cent of appraised
value but have 100 per cent pro
tection.
4. Premiums with stock com
panies are cheaper per year to the
School Board on the five-year plan
than would be possible by either
the one-year or three-year plan.
5. Another consideration
that the School Board will be deal-
with local businessmen at all
times.

Banana Tree Grows
In Pembroke Yard
PEMBROKE—A banana tree having
a
stalk on which there
are 52“ almost full grown bananas is growing in the back yard of
Mrs. Brackston Sampson’s home.
The tree was set out eight years ago when Benny Sampson
brought home a banana plant which a student at Deep Branch
school gave him.
This is the first year' that the plant has had fruit, says Mrs.
Sampson.
It has been the custom to dig a trench and bury the wrapped
banana plant during the winter months, but this year the tree
is almost too large.
There are now 11 trees of different heights centered around
the main one.
