McLean has iesui ed the following proclamation, desigJ rating the week of October 9 to 15, ; J as f'i't? Prevention Week in North !j Carolina: ?. The state of North Carolina has I for years led in efforts to reduce | fire waste and its attendant loss of '! life ana property. October 9th to I i;>tn inclusive, lias been designated as Fiiv Prevention Week throughout j the United States, and I appeal to | our citizenship who are so familiar i with the destruction of fire t'o be! come vitally interested in this great i economic waste; Carefully gathered statistics j show that in 1!>2S, $6,649,069 worth of property was destroyed by tire; j that 286 human dyings were burned . to death in North Carolina, caused largely through carelessness; com ; pared with our nattloi'al fire loss of : SOU million dollars and 20,000 liver destroyed, this is Sow, but entirely too great for an intelligent citizenship such as ours, it is well known that carelesSiiess and ignorance of i fire ha??rdv go hand in hand as the ; chief causes of our great natidiial ; fire waste. 1, therefefore, urge that the week . of October uth to 15th be set aside , as fire Prevention Week ht accord auee with Section 6081) of the. Consolidated Statutes, which provides, that the governor of North Carolina j j shall, each year in October, issue a] : proclamation urging the people to J a proper observance. During this week 1 also urge that ; fire drills be held in schools, facj tories and stores, and that they be i continued at regular intervals. That schools. t> raters, public andprivate hospitals, factories, stores! I and hot,,Is Ko insnnntnd' ?,.t , j every safeguard against fire is prej vented, and also that exit facilities i are sufficient in case of fire. That local authorities examine their Sre ordinances and make them sufficient if they are lacking in any partieular. | To this end I urge our "Citizens to j thoroughly co-operate with our iaI soranee commissioner, and that every i mayor issue a proclamation. I | earnestly request the co-operation of i every citizen, chamber of commerce. ; Rotary, laons. Kiwanis and Wom-i 1 en's Clubs, and all other civic bodies| and the press. As October 9th| conies on Sunday, I especially appeal to the clergy and Sunday School superintendents to bring this to rhe attention of their people. Now. therefore, I. A. W. McLean, governor of North Carolina, in accordance with law, do issue this my proclamation, and do set aside ami designate October 9th to 15th, 1927, as Fire Prevention Week, and do urge all the people to a proper observance of this weokan obedience to the statutes of North Carolina. Done at our city of Raleigh, this 1st day of September, 1927, in the year of our Lord one thousand nine hundred and twenty-seven, and in the one hundred and fifty-second vpar of our American independence.

Produce Ecoujb Stock in One Year to Pay Taxes, Bonded Indebtedness and Stilt Have Good I Sum Left. Over. By SMITH HAGAMAN I (County Superintendent Education) I do not think I am inclined in ! any way to be pessimistic v/ifh refcr! ence to our county or our county's j future. Every time I visit other ; counties and come home, the more 5 i can see of the possibilities of Watauga; but it is a good thing for us to ; occasionally stop patting ourselves j on the beak long enough to look conj ditions in the face?and if possible | to set about strengthening our weak places, if we have them?and I am sure we have some, and, some thai? look rather serious to me. I have recently visited every community in Watauga county, and I I see standing in the fields and stored j in barns enough old hay and fodder I to winter every head of livestock in ! the fiountv. ivhieli lo-icac present crop of feed?unci it is one i of the finest 1 have seen for many i years?without a single head of livej stock to consume it. Kur.drt-ds of | acres of fine grass could be seen all I over the county with almost nothing ; grazing on it'. This, to me, is an'y' thing but a. good condition for our county. Here are some figures taken from j the tax returns of the county that ' will help us to see the trend of the j livestock interests of the county : Ip 1916, eleven years ago, we bad 2,387 horses. 550 mules, It,543 cattle, 7,004 sheep. Five years ago-? 1922?we hail 2,075 horses. 47t> mi|les, 13,450 cattle. and 8.122 rhgop. Of this last number of cattie. 5,509 were milk cows. jr. 1925, Ve had 1,909 horses, 454 mules, 9.758 cattle, and 9,02:! : sheep; a big falling off in the num! bar of cattle. In 1926, we had 1,723 horses, 372 mules, 8.25-3 catt'ie, and 8,020 sheep. Of the number of cattle, 4;25S were cows, j This year. 1927, we have 1,631 ; horses, 408 mules, 7,391 cattle, and '8,148 sheep. We have this year 3,| 916 eows. i You will observe that for the last j four years the number of cattle lias failen off from 13,450 to 7,394 ? almost' one-half. We report this year the same number of sheep we reported at that ' time, and practically one-half the number of calves. Watauga is naturally a livestock | county: nature has made it such, i Grass grows naturally everywhere, ; otlmatig conditions ore almost ideal.; , priegs of cattle and larhbs are good , and yet we have so few to sjell, ; I am sure we have feed enough to j winter at least three times the nurai her of cattle and sheep that are in . the county, and svili have grass | enough next' year to graze them, j This figured si conservative, r.inc. on', prices, means a loss of income for next year for the county, or this years a? to that matter, of $754,000 ?enough to pay al! the taxes for this year: all the bonded indebtod| iie3s of the county, and give every family $65 in cash This is not visionary stuff, but cold figures and facts. It seems to me that the sensible thing for the farmers and business men of Watauga to do is to get together and start something to remedy this con' ?iitv?n nrtrJ * - ' J? !P^H~ .35 ;?~.??xv.Ty .Wl. y U'JILU. : I hope to have something further to say next week about the economic condition of our county.
