P. 6 GAnLARD's DWELLING
DESTROYED BY FIRE FRIDAY

About II O'Clock on Friday the hre
alarm came in from Mr.. P. c. Gail
1ard's residence in High Point. The
fire originated IN the roof, possibly
from spark from the chimney anu
before the family was aware of the
fire the roof was well under otaze.
Nearly every fire we have had in re-
cent months has been from a spaT
falling on wood shingle roof. In most
cases the department has been ah'e
to save the building.
MI. and Mrs. Gaillard lost every
thing they had in furniture anu
clothing. Mrs. Gaillard saving only
the house dress which she had on
and possibly one or o in the wash
Mr.. Pierre Gaillard who had rooms
there lost all in his room upstairs,
saving only the work suit he wore
and his army overcoat which was
down stairs.
The loss falls very heavy. 1t was
a we'll built two-story residence ana
practically new as it had been erect
ed onlv in recent years. TO replace
it would cost five or six thousand
dollars. On house and furniture
there was only an insurance of ST.
10000.
This fire demonstrates the need OF
at least two things in Newberry. First
the water pressure out in this part
of the town is totally inadequate
While Superintendent Schumpert was
righSpn the job and had his pump up
to fire pressure and had shut off tae
other end the friction on these smal.
pipe long dead ends is such that 1t
prevents sufficient pressure at the
nozzle. Another thing, If the
department had had motor
truck the firemen could have
arrived much sooner and then they
would have had. the force pump ii:

lack of water pressure would have
been overcome. And five minutes or
