In Close Escape
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Speidel, for
mer managers of the Kings
Mountain Country Club, and
their two house guests narrowly
escaped with their lives early
Sunday morning when the Star
mount Forest Country Club near
Greensboro was demolished by
fire.
According to the Associated
Press report, Mr. and Mrs. Spei
del and the Richmond, Virginia
couple Visiting them, had gone
to bed about 1:15 a. m. Mrs. Spei
del awakened about 3 o’clock with
heat and smoke welling from the
first floor of the club. She a
roused Mr. Speidel and their
guests and the four escaped clad
only In their nightclothes.
Officials of the Starmount club
placed the loss at a quarter-mil
lion dollars and said it was “pro
perly covered” by insurance. It
was also announced that a new
club would be built. Only salvage
from the fire was a quantity of
golf clubs and kitchen supplies
which were removed before the
fire reached these quarters. Kit
chen equipment was reported not
badly damaged.
The AP reported:
Telephone lines having ben de
stroyed by the fire, the Speidels
summoned help by blowing an
automobile horn and calling out
to near residents. (Car keys had
been left in the clubhouse.) A
neighbor, on hearing them, aler
ted the Greensboro fire depart
ment.
The main part of the wooden,
Colonial-styled structure, erect
ed in 1930, was gutted, and as
phalt roof collapsing over much
of it. An adjacent ballroom, con
structed in about 1940, was roof
ed with slate which did not yield
to the fire. However, the ball
room itself was burned out be
yond repair, firemen reported.
Stocks of corn on North Caro
lina farms April 1 were estimat
ed at over 26 million bushels,
compared to slightly over 17 mil
lion a year ago.
