Bowling Lanes
Ruined By Fire
Plans are bemg made to re
store Brevard Bowling Lanes,
which burned recently in a fire
that swept through the interior
of the modem construction, com
pletely devastating the furnish
ings, but the mechanical func

roof and outer construction were
saved.
According to Dr. W. O. Kearse,
the lanes should be reopened
around the first of August.
“Because so many people have
expressed an acute feeling of
loss due to this fire and the de
sire for the re-establishment of

said, “We presently plan to do
everything possible to put this
recreational facility back into
operation at the earliest prac
