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. CLEAN-UP!
