Another Fire
Coming on the heels of the fire
in the Clyde Cox home reported
in last week’s news, a blaze start
ed from an exhaust fan motor in
the finishing room of Vass Indus
tries, manufacturers of cedar
wardrobes, Thursday afternoon
and did considerable • damage,
causing the plant to suspend oper
ation until Monday.
Of the 176 wardrobes in the
finishing room at the time, some
were a total loss, while others
were damaged by smoke and
water. No estimate of the loss
was given.,
Hand Injury
Dougald Cameron of Route 2
suffered a severe injury to his
right hand Monday morning as a
result of the cold weather. The
water pump on his truck was fro
zen and after getting the motor
started, Dougald caught hold of
the fan belt to try to make the
fan work. Just as he did so, the
fan started and the belt cut one
of his fingers off and another
one almost off. He and J. W.
Smith, who was accompanying
him to the hospital in Sanford,
stopped, in town on their way up
Monday morning, but we haven’t
heard whether it was necessary
to amputate the second finger.
A Daughter
Mr. and Mrs. Ervin Campbell
are happy over the arrival of a
daughter, Brenda Jeannette, on
January 29 at Moore County hos
pital. The baby lacked only a
half ounce of weighing seven and
one-half pounds. Mrs. Campbell
and Jeanette left the hospital
Monday and are spending some
time with the former’s parents,
Mr. and Mrs. A. R. Reynolds.

dell, Mr. and Mrs. S. R. Smith,
Mrs. W. H. Keith, A. L. Keith,
Miss Retha Mae Cox, Mrs. W. C.
Leslie, Mrs. H. A. Borst and Miss
Louise Leslie attended the fun
eral of T. R. Moffitt, which was
held in Steele Street Methodist
church in Sanford at 3:30 Thurs
day afternoon of last week. Mr.
Moffitt died Tuesday night, after
a long period of declining health.
Well-known in Vass, Mr. Mof
fitt had resided in Sanford for
many years, going there when
the town was little more than a
country village. With several
brothers he founded the Moffitt
Iron Works company which oper
ated .until a few years ago. He
united with Steele Street Metho
dist church almost 61 years ago—
a month after its organization—
and Tielped organize the men’s
Bible class, teaching it for a num
ber of years. The class was later
named in his honor. His late wife
was formerly Sallie Bynum, one
of the well-known “Bynum sis
ters’’ of Vass. Surviving are one
daughter, Mrs. Ben W. Smith,
and one sister.
Dance For Polio Fund
Defying the sleet and cold, a
goodly number assembled at
Hotel Charmella Friday night to
dance for the polio fund, and in
the pleasant get-together soon
forgot the weather. Sounds good,
doesn’t it! We’ve half a notion to
start over and do the whole
column in rhyme.) Chairman Cal
lahan raised $40 without any hol
lers.
The school hasn’t been dancing
for the fund, but we hear that a
considerable amount has been
raised by some of the grades, and
we’ll let you know about- it as
soon as it is thought best by Prin
cipal West.
The New .Look
The town office, where Mrs.
Bessie J. Griffin and her hus
band, G. E., carry on their work,
is taking on the “new look” and
it is most becoming. The walls
have been painted a light green,
the furniture has been given a
coat of varnish, and there is a roll
of new linoleum waiting to be
laid. Venetian blinds are to be a
part of the new outfit, also.
Weather Wins
Vass-Lakeview school did not
suspend work the first of last
week as so many schools did, but
ran through Wednesday. How
ever, the weather won out Thurs
day, iwth the youngsters enjoying
a holiday, but it was back-to-
school for them Friday. The ad
ditional sleet and snow which fell
during the Weekend caused them
to get another holiday Monday,
with the return to school depend
ing upon road conditions.

joying a nice long visit with her
