Fire dangers rise as heaters blamed for several blazes
A surge in fires during the past days is blamed on defective heating plants and chimneys. In Kings Mountain area, a $400,000 Saturday blaze destroyed the Johnson County Count Club at midfield. Citizens urged to inspect flues and heating equipment while local events unfold, including the reorganized Kings Mountain Little Theatre production You Can’t Take It With You. Local groups sponsor appearances by Lenoir Rhyne and a college comedy Life with Mother. The Lions Club honors coach Clarence Stasavich at the annual football banquet amid a cold snap that tests warmth and water pipes. The Red Cross fund drive is chaired by Rev. P. D. Patrick, and Christmas shopping looks brisk as the community supports the Girl Coat fund.
