High Point's drive for traffic safety expands with a training car and stronger driver education. Civic leaders demand modern highways, better engineering, uniform laws, and tougher license requirements to curb rising crash fatalities as vehicles surge to 83 million by 1966.
A reflective piece argues the majority often errs and praises minority strength. It cites biblical examples, from Noah to Gideon, illustrating how a faithful few can conquer vast forces. The writer portrays democracy as fragile without discernment and urges emphasis on enduring wisdom.
A High Point column reflects on historical figures who started small yet achieved large impact. It cites William Carey Dwight L Moody and others, emphasizing the power of a dedicated minority to advance religious and social causes.
In a column by Jack Field memories span High Point topography from Main and Washington crossroad to Colfax. The piece recalls a Geodetic plate, city expansion from four to ten miles, water and sewer bonds, and fears of typhoid before city water and sanitation improved health.
John Motley Morehead led a group through the Morehead Building to view the sun dial project planned beside the building. The 30 by 25 foot dial would be the world’s largest, with Morehead noting biblical references to sun dials and recounting his start in work as he joined digging and lifting duties with Chancellor Robert B. House and others.
A jumble of school song chatter in Chapel Hill about digression and the Morehead scholarship process. Local chatter in Shelby and Cleveland about dog tail posing for photos and barber shop talk, with observers debating the practice and its motives.
A collage of brief items covers recruiting debates for fire and police work, a North Carolina magazine feature, local business moves, a Jaycee event, a furniture sales course, bank appointments, a motor dealership merge, humor about ministers and salesmen, graveyard anecdote, highway signs updates, gas price reports, and a Greensboro tax case with a Petersburg joke by Judge Hoffman. The writer also notes an upcoming two week trip to New York for Weekend High Points.
