Tobacco Barn Fire Destroys 1962 Crop Near Pontypool
George Van Dam faced the loss of his entire crop as a storage barn burned Thursday afternoon, destroying 52 000 pounds of cured tobacco and equipment valued around 2 000. Firefighters saved a nearby garage and house though total damage reached about 26 000. The blaze was discovered at 3 45 pm by Pepsi Cola driver Mick Adams.

Van Dam, a 100 acre farmer, was formerly president of a tobacco growers association. He remained at the home during the fire with salesman Ross Gilpart. He has three children.
