High Point college bonds urged to save endowment
High Point seeks quick support for a $150000 bond issue to back a $350000 endowment plan for the college. Trustees face slow sales, with about $20000 already sold and a push to raise $75000 more as the church backs the issue. The six percent bonds are backed by property value and church obligation, and supporters stress the college's strong growth and low costs.
