Awaited On
Ieacherage

Insurance adjustments on the fire
damaged city teacherage are being
awaited by school authorities before
they decide on a course to provide
accommodations for the teachers at
the opening of the schools in Sep
tember. The teacherage was badly
damaged, and some thought virtually
a total loss, by fire that swept the
upper story and part of the lower
floor on Friday morning a week ago.
/ At a.. meeting Saturday evening,
the. city school. board appointed a
committee to handle the insurance
adjustments with representatives of
underwriters, and this committee will
make the best settlement possible
and report back to the full school
board, whose duty it will be to de
eide on definite policy to pursue.
Whether the present large frame
structure used as the teacherage will
be repaired or demolished entirely
may depend upon the extent of the
insurance adjustment obtained. But
whatever is done, it is expected that
work will be gotten under way as
quickly as possible, to the end that
adequate accommodations can be pro
vided for the teachers at the open
ing of the fall term.
Adjusters have already been here
and made an inspection of the dam
aged structure, and an offer from
them is looked for in the next few
days. If that should be accepted, the
school board is expected to be call
ed together Immediately thereafter
to formulate plan for a new teach

dence of blue mold damage is seen

with only a small amount of plant
damage in the Middle Belt, local to-
bacco growers should face a good
crop prospect.

advantage that can possibly be given
them through outlay of money and
hard work
Following the board of trade meet

will be held at early dates to plan
the publicity program for the mar

$50 More Is
For
Bands Trip
r. J. Corbitt Pledges
SIS if Fund Is Rails
ed; Gates Offers His
Gree Trip" Drawn at
Concert.

The Band Boosters Club,
sponsors of the high school band,
announced this afternoon Sea-
board Air Line authorities had
advised them of a deadline April
30 on special rates offered for
the band to the Worlds Fair, so
that if the money needed is not
realized during that period the
railroad trip would be off. 1t was
also announced that Mrs. r. G.
S. Davis had promised one trip at
S25.
Further impetus was given today
to the movement for raising funds
to send the Henderson high school
band to the New York Worlds Fair
to participate in the exercises Of
North Carolina Day June 10. r. J..
Corbitt, motor manufacturer, offered
$25 to the fund if arrangements were
made to send the band, and w. c..
Gates offered to return to the band
organization the free trip he won at
the band concert last Monday even
ing, provided the trip were assured.
M. Y. Cooper on Friday sent his
check for $25 to the Dispatch, with
the request that the newspaper spon-
sor campaign for public donations
to under write" the trip.
The concert Monday evening was
held to realize funds for the trip to
the fair, but fell far short of the re-
quired amount of money. Now, it is
proposed to solicit donations in the
city for the purpose, and the effort
will be made to provide the COM
,lete financing operations by May /,
if possible.
The high school band is one of
few such organizations in the State
that were invited and which accept
ed the invitation to attend the NORTH
Jarolina Day program at the fair.
Following is the letter by Mr.. Cor
5itt sent TO the Daily Dispatch to-
day:
81 am very much interested in the
Henderson high school band going to
New York to the Worlds Fair on
North Carolina Day.
"When the first circular was sent
out by the committee on this ven
ture, I Immediately informed Mrs.
VI. w. Wester, if they could arrange
to make the trip, I would contribute
S25 towards the expenses of the trip.
II think the Henderson high school
band is quite a credit to our little
town, and that Mr.. Hearne and the
children have done some very good
work. / also think that it is quite an
honor to this band and our little
town down here in the "sticks" to
have been invited to participate in
the parade at the Worlds Fair in
New York on North Carolina day
and l think that every citizen of the
town (men and women) should make
"a special effort to assist the band in
making this trip"
