CLOSED BRIDGE WAS HANDICAP AT BELHAVEN On Tuesday evening a fire alarm was turned in to the Belhaven Volunteer Fire Department shortly after the Pantego Creek bridge had been opened to traffic. Serious damage was averted due to the promptness with which the Belhav en men responded. A grass fire had spread and was threatening a garage owned and operated by Bert Pascal, located in the Smithtown section one mile west of Belhaven. Had the firemen not been able to cross the bridge, there Would ‘ have' been serious damage to the many cars parked near the garage, as well as the building and the nearby home of Mr. Pascal. There was, however, only a small amount of damage. The bridge over Pantego Creek had been closed to traffic for a week, it was opened to let a dredge through and the dredge failed to show up. People were concerned about the delay of re opening the bridge as all traffic was re-routed including school buses. Firemen have been especial ly concerned over this matter as they frequently receive calls from "over the river,” and a delay such as the detour would mean a delay in answering the calls from this section and perhaps serious prop erty loss. Another fire that necessitated the Belhaven Volunteer Firemen crossing the bridge over Pantego creek on Wednesday night at ten o’clock was a tobacco barn at the home of Monroe Everette, six miles west of Belhaven. The firemen ar rived too late to save the bam but were able to prevent the fire spreading to other buildings. ELLISON, SPEAKER FOR TRI-OOMMUNITY RURITANS William A.
