Additional Teachers Will Be Needed
in High Point, Report of County
Superintendent Shows

The budget for the schools Of High
Point for the next year, made public
Saturday by County Superintendent
Foust, shows that there is a daily at.
tendance of 1876 pupils in the High
school and 1858 in the elementary
schools, "a Of whom live outside the
district and pay tuition. The salary
fund for six months in High Point is
given as $27,962 as compared With
$65, ,563O7 for the same period in
Greensboro. Discounting the sum re
ceived from the state and county
High Point has an incidental expense
of $5,3O8.52, while Greensboro has a
similar fund of $19,17916.
The budget calls for 35 cent lew
instead of Is cents, made last year.
1t shows that GuilfOrd county will
spend on salaries next year the sum
of $225,552. The High Point building
fund is $4,000 Both white and n agro
schools in the city will require the
services Of several new teachers. the
number not yet determined.
Under the new law the increase IN
salaries given the city teachers is not
so great as that going to those en-
ployed in the rural schools. This,
however, is because Of the establish
ment of minimum salary Of $50,
many of the rural teachers having re-
ceived as low as $50 last year where
as the records show that no teacher
in the city schools received less than
$50 per. month FOR the nine months.
According to the statement Of Su-
perintendent FOust the county has
gone the limit On the matter of sal
cries and the amount obtainable un-
der the -35 cent tax rate was ex-
hausted before the building fund linn
it had been reached.

MISS VIRGINIA HENLEY BRIDE OF
RODNEY SNOW.

The following, from the Charlotte
Observer, will be of interest to
great number of people of the city
and section, since the two young peo-
pie are widely and favorably known:
Miss Virginia Henley and Mr.. Rod
ney English Snow, both of High Point,
were quietly married at the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. Ferd Ingold, on Worth
ington avenue, Dilworth, yesterday
afternoon at 3 o'clock, Rev. Dr. Bun
yam Mcleod, pastor of Westminster
Presbyterian church, officiating.
There were no attendants. The
bride and bridegroom entered the
room together. The bride was pretty
in dark blue travelling suit and tail
ored hat to match. She wore a cor
sage of orchids and lily of the valley.
MRS. Snow has been spending two
months here visiting her cousin, Miss
Alice Ingold, and Mr.. Snow came over
to see her and they decided to be
married quietly.
"The bride is the oldest daughter
Of DR.. and Mrs. F. A. Henley, of High
Point. She was educated at Guilford
college and is a bright young woman.
She is pretty and attractive with a
winning personality and is admired
by a host Of friends in Charlotte as
well as in her home city.
''Mr. Snow is a son of Mr. and Mrs
E. A. Snow of High Point. He was
graduated from Staunton Military
academy, Virginia, and from the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. He recent
~ received his discharge from SER
vice and has since been connected

man of splendid business ability and
delightful personality and is held in
high esteem by a wide circle Of
friends.
"Mr. and Mrs. Snow left immediate
ly after the ceremony for an extended
motor trip to Atlanta and Jacksonville
and other Southern cities"

A PLEASANT BIRTHDAY EVENT
IN THE COUNTRY.

The editor and household spent a
very pleasant afternoon at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Bunyon Mendenhan
Sunday, in the Bethany neighborhood.
We intended arriving in the morning
and participating in the big dinner,
but the rain prevented. However, we
were in time to see a large number
of the visitors and partake of some
of the good things to eat. The occa-
sion was the celebration of Mr.. Men
denhall's birthday, and was in the ma
ture of surprise made possible by
his wife who kept everything a secret
until that morning. There were peo-
pie present from Winston, High
Point, Thomasville and surrounding
community. It is estimated that there
we're a hundred people present. Had
it not rained it is quite likely that
double this number would have been
on hand. All the visitors brought big
baskets filled with good things TO eat,
and the spread was one of tue best
ever laid.

HEALTH MAN LOCATED HERE.

Claude Hussev, until recently en-
ployed by the government at the Pan
anna Canal as a health official, is in
this city and is considering establish
ing a plant for the manufacture of
a disinfectant for the destruction of
flies, mosquitoes and other insects
together with their Narva and young.
Mr.. Hussey is an expert in his line,
having been engaged in the health
work from the time the United States
first undertook to construct the canal
until a few months ago. He states
that when the Americans first entered
the canal zone it was the most un-
healthy place in the world but now
the death rate there is much lower
than any state in the union. This end
was achieved by the use of the same
disinfectant which he contemplates
manufacturing here. The liberal use
of the preparation in the canal zone
has made the fly and the mosquito a
curiosity

DoUGHNUTs OF THE ARMY KIND

Doughnuts of the regular Salvation
Army kind were sold in large quanti-
ties. in the city Saturday afternoon by
ladies of the Woman's club under the
auspices of the home service fund
the organization is seeking to raise.
The -delicacies went at all sorts of
prices and several dollars were rails
ed to swell the fund being secured by
the Elks for the Army. Members Of
the fraterna1 organization secured $2,-
800 in the first day Of their canvass
and results Saturday are said to have
been even better. Indications at this
time, however, are that the fund will
be secured with possibly small sur
plus. The local quota is $500.

ANOTHER THEAtER PLANNED
FOR HIGH POINT,

That we will have q big theater or
"oprv" house at an early date seems
+, be assured. o. E. Kearns and G..
y Kearns have contracted for altera-
ticns and additions to what is known
the Fields building on South Main
street. the work, costing between
$4,000 and 100000, it is estimated, to
STAR Immediately. The theater has
already been leased to responsible
narties and it is hoped by them to
nave the theater in readiness for the
opening of the theatrical season of
1920.
The plans indicate that High Point
will have a modern theater in every
respect, one entirely in keeping with
the size of the city. The store room
LOW occupied by the Peoples House
annex will be used as the entrance
way or lobby, it to be finished in
marble. A soda fountain will be a
BART of the equipment of this portion
Of the theater. In the rear of the
store room proper the auditorium
stage and dressing rooms comprising
the theater will be erected, brick,
concrete and steel being used The
size of the new building will be As by
100 feet and it will seat between
1000 and 1900 persons. There will
be balcony and the stage will be
OF sufficient size to care for any and
all travelling attractions that may be
secured Vaudeville will form the
regular attraction, however, accord
ing to present plans.
In the basement of the part Of the
building now standing will be oper-
ated an up to date cafe, something
the city greatly needs, just now, and
palm room, something that should
have a direct appeal to large num-
Der of citizens. The entire building
has already been leased for long !
term of years, it being realized that
the need and demand for a theater
here can no longer be denied.

HIGH POINT MANUFACTURER
= ~ RIISN ~4-g=ss-s-

High Point furniture manufacturers
have during the past few days called
in a number of travelling statesmen and
refused orders tOtalling in the neigh
borhood of 100000. The cause is an
, unusual one, good business. Four or
five weeks ago it was noted that bus
mess in the furniture industry was
on the upgrade and was about 40 per
cent better than at any time since the
armistice was signed on November II,
1918. 1t is learned from number of
/ sources that it had been found ne
cessary by several Of the furniture
manufacturers to call in their field
representatives and to refuse num-
ber of orders because their output
was marketed for five or six months
in advance.
This does not mean that any large
number of travelling men are to lose
their positions. The recalled ambas-
sadors of house furnishings are SIM
ply to stay in for short while, ia
mliarizing themselves with new
lines that will be launched later, or,
perchance, <Iie themselves into terri
tory that has not been worked in
many months to renew acquaintances
with a weather eve out for future
trade when the present influx of or
ders has been filled.
Business in the furniture industry
is invariably reflected in all lines OF
commercial and industrial endeavOr
in the city. If the woodworking plants
are doing we'll, prosperity is plainly
evident on all sides. And that is just
the condition that prevails in High
Point today Even the belated and
anxiously awaited building boom is in
sight, merely holding back awaiting
a l ader The first big project start
ed will put the boom under way and
indications today are that the furni-
ture exposition building is to be the
it. Friday night the directors of the
project and the directors of the cham
Der of commerce meet in joint session
to select the site for the seven or To-
story structure, and as the' money to
back the s35O,OOO or 100000 project
has all been raised, nothing is to pre-
vent an immediate start on the build

According to a report of District

gone over the top by between $25 600
and 100000, the larger churches of
the district by oversubscribing the

to more than make up the deficiency
