Gated posts have been almost fantas-

almost absurd to forecast, as was
done, that Deyton will become

director, and Bob Thompson editor
of the High Point Enterprise, just
such almost absurdities have de-
veloped into fact.
It is pointed out in support of the
Dorset reports, that the former in

clause inserted in his New York job
contract permitting him to cancel

After considerable discussion, the
City Council Monday night refused
to pass the proposed anti-wood
single ordinance without further
consideration, and referred it to
committee for study and recommen-
dalton. The measure was brought be-
fore the Council by Mayor Henry T.
Powell, who said it would mean a
reduction in insurance rates of ten
cents per hundred for that type of
property {
The committee named to study and
report back its conclusions consists
OF Aldermen F. B. Hight, C. M. Hight
and T. w. Ellis.
A ten-year contract was submit
ted to the Council by the Carolina
Power & Light Company covering
electric current to supply the pumps
for the city's new sewage disposal
plant. 1t was estimated hat the cost
would be about $780, Members were
not satisfied as to the provisions of
this agreement, however, and a COM
mittee was appointed to make a fur
ther study and report back at the
next meeting. This group consists
of Aldermen NJ w. Wester, T. w.
Ellis and c. M. Hight.
A report was made to the Coun-
Gil of the obtaining Of sewer right

cemetery was ordered sold for $125,

There was consideration of a re-
quest of contractors for the sewage
disposal plant that the city approve
an excess cost for certain sewer lines,
amounting to some 5000 more than
the contract called for. This is more
than offset however, it was stated,
by savings elsewhere as the result of
| these different routings The matter
has been submitted to the PWA for
| approval, and until the PWA sends
its approval in the form of change
order, the Council will have moth

PUBLIC TREND
is IMPORTANT

A GREAT textile manufac-
L \ turing business that once
employed $4,000 has been Or
dered liquidated by a federal
judge. Thirty years ago it was
leader in its field, a power in
the industrial world. Today it
is nothing but an assortment of
buildings and machinery to be
sold to the highest bidder.
AS a rule the cause of the
failure of many a business is
the inability of its manage
ment to sense public trends,
to study the speed with which they
develop and then quickly adapt
products to these trends.
A large manufacturer of umbrel-
las foresaw the adverse effect of
closed automobiles on umbrella
sales. Sensing the great future
