Local Baptist Church Destroyed By Fire On 'Sunday Afternoon Four fire alarms have sounded in Asheboro within a short period. The first alarm was Friday afternoon and proved to be a field of grass burn ing. The field was located behind the Lacy Lewis home on Sunset ave nue. Saturday morning two alarms aroused the town. The first was a fire inside some machinery of the Bruton Dry Cleaning plant. The damage of this fire was confined chiefly to the machine and the mate rial in the machine at the time. The exact estimate has not been set. About 11:00 A. M. the second siren sounded •and took the local fire company to Kivett street to the house occupied by H. A. Vestal and family. The dam age was chiefly to the roof and some small damage to furniture by water. Hie house will probably require re covering, according to Clarence Rush, chief of the Asheboro Fire company. The house belonged to Calvin Frazier. New Owner Asheboro Bakery Checks Out Leaving No Address J. T.

There were 21 members and 17 guests present. The Club met hi Ramseur as the re sult of an invitation of Fletcher Cra ven, A. H. Thomas and El wood Riehm, Rotarians of that town. The M. E. church circle of Ramseur served a bountiful turkey dinner with all ac companiments. The meal was well prepared and the excellent serving is worthy of mention. Interspersing the meal were several popular numbers sung by Mr. Moffitt and accompanied by Mrs. Phillips. The “Last Round Up” was particularly en joyed. The main feature of the program were the magician’s tricks performed by R. E. Betts, of High Point. He is adept in this line, especially when it is considered that he is not a magici an but a druggist. The group was most appreciative of his performance. Each member and guest was pre sented with a candlestiok manufactur ed by the Ramseur Manufacturing Co., samples of sheeting given by Columbia Manufacturing Co. and samples of other cotton cloth made by Randolph Mills, Franklinville. Ap parently most of the cotton material was taken home by Bill Armfield and Joe Spence for future use.

The law requires that all motor ve hicles operating after December 31st bear new plates. A bulletin from Governor 3. C. B. Ehringhaus re cently stated that there would not be an extension of the time limit for buying plates as heretofore. The time has often been extended several times in order to allow people to re cover from the holiday shopping splurge, but the Governor announces that the state of North Carolina needs the revenue and he announces that there will be no extension this year.

The Baptist church caught fire from a defective flue about 1:80 and burned almost completely to the ground- The church, a large wooden building, lo cated in the center of town, burned quickly and surely, despite efforts of the local fire company. The church was valued at about $8,000 with about $5,000 insurance coverage. A committee has been appointed to make plans for an early start at re building the church. The committee at work ait present is appointed for the purpose of considering ways and means, blue prints and the like. Af ter a report from this preliminary committee, a building committee will be named. Meanwhile the Baptist congregation will continue their services, using the armory building. Santa Claus Arrives Hudson-Belk’s Store On First Of December The announcement of the arrival of Santa Claus at Hudson-Belk’s Friday morning, December first, makes ev ery one realize that the holiday sea son is near and delights the children throughout the county. The display bf gifts has been made earlier than usual for several reasons, it gives purchasers more time, saves the us ual rush for clerks and those in post offices and assures .the purchaser that they can secure gifts at home. Hr. Yates, manager, has provided a stor age room for the convenience of pa trons who make purchases with an in itial payment, and will keep packages until called for, as late as Christinas eve. In addition to the usual excel lent staple line, the holiday gifts are unusually attractive to eiders as well as children, quite equal to those in the larger towns. Hudson-Belk is to be congratulated upon the display and upon the plan for early Christmas shopping.

T. Lloyd, superintendent of welfare for the county, reveals some interesting and necessary information for Randolph county. Mr. Lloyd has been appoint ed as local civil work administrator for the county in addition to his du ties as superintendent of public wel fare, representative of the state labor department and director of relief. It is explained by Mr. Lloyd that, under the new plan, all people now on relief will be transferred to the fed eral civil works program. The excep tion is those who are physically dis abled and who w.ll be retained under the welfare program. The purpose of the federal civil works administration is 'to provide regular work on public works at reg ular wages for unemployed persons able and willing to work. The rate of pay will be 45 cents per hour for thirty hours in each week for unskilled labor and one dol lar and ten cents per hour for skilled labor.

Muai Pay Farmers Insurance Premiums By 11th Of December The members of the Farmers Mu tual Fire Insurance Association will have to pay their premiums on or be fore the 11th day of December in or der to keep their insurance in force. The members are paying their prem iums well and it is expected that over 90 per cent of the members will have their insurance in good shape for another year by the expiration date of December 11. Many fires throughout the county and in Asheboro caused the members to see the necessity for carrying fire and wind protection upon their build ings which can be had at a small cost. Asheboro had four fires last week, with several fire damages through out the county. The extreme dry weather, defect ive flues and sparks escaping from fhies caused all the fires. People should at this time of the year make thorough examination of their flues, chimneys and thereby prevent many fires.
