Two Leaf Barns Among Fire Losses
Two tobacco barns and
their contents were destroyed
by fire during the past
week and tobacco in a third
barn was damaged by
smoke.
A tobacco barn on the
Churchill Road owned by
George Willis Shearin and
operated by Doug Jones, a
tenant, was completely
destroyed by fire on Thursday
of last week. The log
barn was ignited when a
stick of tobacco fell on a
burner. Loss was estimated
at $2000. Two trucks from
the Warrenton rural company
responded.
On the previous afternoon
at 2:40 o'clock eight men1
and two trucks from the
Drewry rural fire company
were dispatched to the farm
of the late A. D. Bullock in
the Bullocksville section of
Vance County due to smoke
pouring from a tobacco
barn. No fire was found but
the tobacco was damaged
by smoke. The barn and
tobacco belonged to Calvin
Howerton.
The third barn fire was on
the Kenneth Mustian farm
near Warrenton where a log
and frame tobacco barn was
on fire. Two alarms for this
fire were turned in on
Monday of this week, the
first at 11:40 a. m. and the
second at 2 p. m. Six men
and two trucks from the
Warrenton rural company
were dispatched to the scene
and extinguished the fire
with water. Damage to the
barn was estimated at 50
percent and tobacco loss
was 100 percent.

Senior Club uoes
On Enjoyable Trip
By MRS. JOYCE MABRY
The Norlina Senior Social
Club just sponsored and
returned from a scenic trip
to Charlottesville and Staunton,
Va.
Leaving the Norlina United
Methodist Church, they
stopped for a break in Richmond,
and from there
headed for Charlottesville.
Eating lunch at the University
of Virginia Cafeteria,
they headed up into the
autumn-colored hills to
Monticello, Thomas Jefferson's
home. Blustering
winds did not dampen
spirits.Touring the home
and the grounds recalled
days of old and the feeling of
what it must have been like
in Jefferson's day when
autumn winds blew.
James Monroe's home,
Ashlawn, was the next stop.
Renovations on the grounds
promise a lovely memorial
to this President. Peacocks
roamed the grounds. When
asked why such an abundance
of peacocks, the group
was told, "They are good
lawn trimmers, and then,
too, no one realized they
were so prolific in reproduction.
next to rabbits," the
guide with raised eyebrows
said.
The Greyhound bus,
driven by Joe l5. Williams of
Raleigh, headed for Holiday
Inn South in Charlottesville.
Dinner was followed
by a pack-the-room party.
Thirty-eight people were
wall to wall, in one motel
room, where tall tale
exchanges proved a highlight
of the trip.
Friday morning dawned
with profuse rain. At the
entrance to Skyline Drive,
the senior citizen's group
ate at the Howard Johnson's
Restaurant. A few telephone
calls changed the agenda for
the day from a walking tour
of Natural Bridge to a tour
of Swannanoa, the University
of Natural Science and
Philosophy. It is a magnificent
Italian marble palace
high above Waynesboro, Va.
Now a museum, it also
displays the sculpture and
art of Walter and Lao
Russell.
The peak of this tour came
with the appearance of Mrs
Lao Russell on the marble
stairway, just below an
exquisite stained glass window.
An inspiring lecture
from this noble lady and the
purchase and autographing
of her works excited all
Precipitation interspersed
with sleet and snow and rain
only made that mountain
trip experience more of an
adventure.
The site of Woodrow
Wilson's birthplace in
Staunton, Va., was next on
the agenda. A film and a
tour concluded the day.
Weary, all boarded to
head for Richmond, and
dinner at the S and W
Cafeteria. As Bing Crosby's
death was announced, a
musical tribute was sung by
ihe cafeteria manager, and
aecame part of the memory
3f this special trip. Arriving
in Norlina by 8 p. m. all felt
:heir two days had been
*reat.
