COMMUNITY CLUB MEETING
The Community Club held its regu
lar meeting Friday night in the school
house. The attendance fairly well
filled the room, and some matters
of consequence were discussed. Prob
ably the most important was that of
law enforcement, in which the club
urged the committee having that work
in charge to carry it out. Mr. Came
ron, who spoke for the committee, ask
ed if the club would stand by the en
forcement of law, and a resolution
voted to the effect that it would. Mr.
Cameron told the club that he did not
like to embark on a job in which he
might perhaps have the whole task
of carrying out an unpleasant duty
on his hands only, but said that if
the club really wanted the laws en
forced he would see what could be
done. This includes prohibition laws,
road laws in town and on the roads
and various other intfractions in
which it is possible the toes of some
body’s friends may be tramped. The
women especially were pronounced in
their support of law observance, and
it is evident that Vass is to behave
in the immediate future. A. Came
ron never starts much that he does
not make interesting before he quits.
The question of a town survey was
taken up, and progress in getting
information reported, but until fur
ther discussion with Francis Deaton
is reached the committee could not
give much definite information. This
move was favored by the club.
The advertising committee reported
several projects under consideration,
and had asked Bion H. Butler, of
Southern Pines, to be present and
talk a little about advertising. He
took the grounds that the Vass com
munity can advertise in many ways,
one being an effort to put in shape
the resources of the community by
each individual making the general
surrounding of home, farm and town
so expressive of what can be done
here that people seeing will know at
once that around Vass is a big field
for opportunity. He argued that if
we who are here show by actual ex
ample what we can do in the way of
making attractive homes, productive
orchards, successful farms, good roads,
good schools, and those things that
make comunity life worth living, the
sight of those things will be a great
advertisement which will give us a
reputation among people elsewhere.
He referred to the possibilities in
peach lands, melon lands, location,
and the various things so well known
and said that Vass can do almost
anything the people want to do, but
that it is up to everybody in the com
munity to help develop these things,
and to help make the community the
place it should be.
The club seems determined to keep
things moving about Vass, and confi
dent of getting results.
