No-Show Hurdles High Point Human Relations Commission
Enterprise staff writer Ray Hubbard reports that High Point Human Relations Commission executive director Ragan Weaver faces a recurring problem as only seven of fifteen members attended Thursday’s meeting, delaying reorganization goals and program planning. The commission has struggled with quorum issues and relies on Council support and federal funds beyond next June to sustain a director and staff. Weaver has appointed two nonvoting youth members and a new representative from the High Point Bar, but attendance must improve to advance standing committees and priorities.

Local man grows unusual backyard dishrag plants
David P. Hines of 123 Lakeside Dr near Archdale has cultivated Luffa Cylindrica in his yard for three years and has given away many gourds. A health food store sells the dried sponges for back scrubbing at $1.19 each, and researchers from High Point College linked the plant to medieval and ancient Nile regions, noting other names such as towel gourd and rag gourd. Dr. Yates plans to grow dishrags next year using seeds supplied by Hines.
