Even now Speaker Webster Plant Manages To Meet - All Normal Deliveries A knockout blow to one of the sources of Chapel Hill's meager milk supply was narrowly averted early yesterday morning when a fire in the Chapel Hill Dairy was brought under control before it gutted the entire facilities of that company. Despite the severe damage done to the bottling and sterilizing room by the blaze, owner-operator Fred Sparrows said that "the plant will continue at full-time operation." Sparrow plans to utilize some acceptable contriv ances that will "maintain the standard of purity of the milk" and an uninterrupted flow will continue to come from his con cern. Milk Need Need for continuance of Spar- row s output is maae acute oy the milk situation in Chapel Hill which is still termed as "diffi cult." He cited his own case as an example and stated that if he closed down because of the fire. 300 townspeople would be deprived of their milk supply. Sparrow mentioned that an other dairy is at present being built, a dairy that would com pletely fill in the gap in milk de liveries. But no further informa tion on this important construc tion could be obtained at press- time by the Daily Tar Heel. Durham Dairy This acute shortage, which has been somewhat alleviated by importation of milk from Win ston-Salem, occurred when the big Durham Dairy stopped sup plying milk in answer to the lax-labeling ban the 'Board of Alderman of Chapel Hill decided to enforce two months ago. The fire in Sparrow's plant started in the. boiler room about 9:30 a. m. and was soon discov ered by the owner. He called the See FIRE, page 4 Shoeless Dancers Cut Student Union Rug Paths of the mighty and meek cross when Graham Memorial sponsors its barefoot dances.
