W. E. Sassoon
William Edward Sassoon, 83,
Pacolet Valley, died unexpec-
tantly Tuesday afternoon.
Mr. Sassoon was a citizen of
Great Britain and had lived here
since 1940. He came in the Spring
of 1939 with his wife and two
children, from Paris, France, to
visit America and to see the
World’s Fair. After spending the
summer in Canada, and on their
way back to New York, World
War II broke out. Unable to
return they spent the winter in
Florida. He worked for British
War Relief, for two years. With a
group of men he knitted on a
machine, hundreds of pairs of
knee length wool socks, that were
shipped to Britain, for sailors on
trawlers. On America’s entry in
the war he joined the Ration
Board, for the duration of the
war.

Ambulance Fund
Tops $14,000
The fund drive for a new
ambulance for Landrum Rescue
Squad now stands at $14,266.40,
according to Jim Hardin,
president of Landrum Ruritan
Club, sponsors of the drive.
Based upon the prospects of
collecting the entire amount
needed, the Ruritan Club
suggested that the Rescue Squad
place an order immediately in
order to hedge an increase in
price.
“A Superior” Ambulance was
ordered, and it will cost
$18,747.00. This vehicle will
replace one now in use, but will
not be acceptable to Federal
Government standards after
June 30 of this year. However,
certain pieces of equipment on it
will be acceptable, and will be
transferred to the new vehicle.
Additional equipment, required
by law, will cost $2,595. This will
make the new vehicle cost a total
of $21,342.00.
With the $14,266.40 now
collected there is yet $7,075.60 to
be raised. The Ruritan Club’s
drive ends March 24.
A report from the drive
committee indicates a portion of
the balance needed has been
pledge, but has not been turned
in. The Ruritan Club has enlisted
several other clubs and groups to
assist in the solicitation. Some
have reported they have not
completed soliciting their assign
ed territory.
