VASS. A VILLAGE
OF OPPORTUNITY
The Pilot has always had a
kindly feeling for Vass and its
neighborhood It was there,
nearly 20 years ago, that this
newspaper was founded by
Stacy Brewer, with the late
Bion H. Butler as editor. It w'as
there it cut its baby teeth and
grew to man’s estate. The rapid
growth of the Sandhills as a re
sort area eventually lured us to
a more central kx’ation. But Vass
is still a mighty cog in our
wheel and ever will be. '
It is therefore with a feeling!
of partnership that we present | —
this w'eek a resume of the at
tributes of Vass as a community
of homes, of industry, of com
merce. Vass has everything to
offer and its forward-looking
citizens are awakening to its ad
vantages along all fronts and
recounting them in this issue.
You of the other sections of
Moore county who are not ac
quainted with the homey little
town would do well to pay it a
visit. Opportunities come to us
all to say a good word for our
neighbors—and good words oft-
times lead to good deeds. Vass
should develop into a sizeable
manufacturing center. We can
all help it attain its goal.
