Gas Plant Expansion and Valley Forge Plans Highlight High Point Narratives
Citizens of High Point use four million seven hundred sixty thousand cubic feet of gas monthly. North Carolina Public Service Company officials say the plant will expand by one third to meet rising home and factory demand. The High Point unit began in 1913, has 32 miles of piping, and a 75 000 cubic foot tank installed in 1926. The expansion signals continued growth and land purchases for future enlargements as the city grows. D.A.R. chapters in Charlotte discuss educating state schoolchildren to raise 2000 for North Carolina’s State Bell, and plans for Valley Forge commemorations surface as the national celebration nears the winter of 1777–78. Memorial chapel events on July 4 are anticipated with hopes public support will complete North Carolina’s Valley Forge tribute.
