A two year old community band the Elks Band in High Point has provided free summer concerts and boosted civic spirit. With a new bandstand erected the city may fund months of music at a cost of 600 to 700 dollars, prompting questions about sustaining unpaid rehearsal and performance time. The piece notes bands in the city have struggled for public support and questions whether this band will endure without compensation.
The piece urges careful road safety at grade crossings. It stresses keeping vehicle speed and wheel condition in check, using both eyes and ears to judge when to cross, and delaying crossing if a train may be near. It warns bargains or hurry can cost life and urges waiting for sober second thought before crossing.
