Your Home Today f Murphy Electric Power Board by Mrs. Beryl Fulon MODERN HOMES NEED MODERN WIRING Tlmaa have changed and so haa home wiring. No longer can a handy man caaually siring, up an extension or two and tell you that you're ready to uae your new electric equip ment. It takes a specialist who knows electric equipment and its need for an adequate aifiply of electricity for operating efficiently and economically. Probably the biggest mis take In home wiring Is In plan ning for future needs. All too often wiring Is installed to take care of present needs, neglecting to leave enough wiring for the appliances that will be added later. Andrews, N.C. Thursday -Friday July 13-14 Atlantis The Lost Continent Saturday July 15 3 Br Features TheWonderful Country The Fiercest Heart Circle Of Deception Sunday-Monday July 16-17 All Hands On Deck TUesday -Wednesday July 18-19 Stopover Tokyo Evan the everyday ap pliances. like ranges and water heaters, are often l?ft out of wiring plans. Ten years .ago so percent of the homes In Murphy had electric ranges. Today. 75 percent of us cook electrically. Ten years ago. only four out of ten homes had electric water heaters. Now, seven out of every ten heat water electrically. The minimum for a modern wiring system is alOO-ampere service entrance, with both 120 and 240 volts available at the main panel. And all of the never homes have a 200 ampere service entrance to assure full use of present and future electric equipment for comfort and convenience. To the service entrance are added the branch circuits that carry electricity to lights, small electric appliances, and the individual major ap pliances. Then come the outlets and switches to make the use of all appliances and lighting more convenient. If you're limping along with inadequate wiring, frustrated in the use of your present ap pliances and unable to add new ones, you'd best see an elec trical contractor for bringing your wiring up to your needs. And the cost of a modern wiring system for your home is relatively low when com pared with other costs of keeping your home up-to-date. Unlike some home improve ments that must be made every few years, a modern wiring installation will be good for the life of your home. If you have any questions about wiring, or other elec trical equipment, call us at the Electric Power Board. Free assistance is part of our regular service to you. Paid Adv.

You And Your Insurance What To Do When Fire Breaks Out Fire strikes withoutwarn ing. Every two minutes fire damages or destroys a homo somewhere in the United States. Would you know what to do If fire broke out in your home tonight? There are definite steps you can take to be prepared, the National Board of Fire Under writers reminds. To know how to escape could save your life and those of members of your family. First, work out an escape plan. Be sure everyone in the house is familar with it. And keep this procedure uppermost in your mind: If fire strikes your home, first get everyone out of the house. Then call the fire depart ment. If the fire has gained head way, the first two or three minutes after you discover it may be the most important minutes of your life. Now for organizing an escape plan: 1. Get all members of the family together and figure out two possible escape routes to the ground from any upstairs bedroom. If one of the two escape routes is cut off, you will have the alternate one. Make sure every member of the family is familar with the two routes, also any guests who may be stopping with you, and also the baby sitter. Work out this escape plan now, and rehearse it 2. Suppose you are sleeping In a closed upstairs bedroom, wake up, and smell smoke! Don't rush out into the hall way immediately. Go to the door and place the palm of your hand against It. If the door feels hot, it may be that the hallway is already aflame and filled with hot and toxic gases. Either use another escape route or go to the window, awaken people by shouting "Flrel" If there is a phone in the room, quickly call the fire department. If the door does not feel hot, open it slightly. Hold your head away, brace the foor with your foot and put your hand across the opening to determine how hot and smoky the air is. If the hallway appears to be cool and there are no flames or smoke pouring up the stair way, you may be able to use this regular route of escape. However, If there is any question about safe passage down the stairs, go back tp the window and await rescue. Be sure to keep the bed room door closed. The door is a good fire wall which may give you two to five minutes of extra time If flames leap up the hallway. If the hallway outside your upstairs bedroom is aflame, go to the window, shout for help, but don't jump out. You might be injuring yourself needlessly. Open the window, breathe fresh air outside and stay calm. Look below to see if there is a porch roof beneath the window. If so, and smoke and flames are beginning to enter the room around the door, crawl out on the porch roof to await rescue. If it becomes necessary to jump to the ground, drop bed ding, pillows, clothing or any thing else soft on the ground beneath the window. This will make a cushion to land on. Then, lower yourself over the window sill to reduce the dis tance to the ground and drop into the pile of bedding. Call Hyde Insurance Agency for protection of your property against fire. Paid Adv. LEGAL NOTICE NORTH CAROLINA CHEROKEE COUNTY The undersigned, having qualified as Administrator of Charles D. Rogers deceased, late of Cherokee County, this is to notify all persons having claims against said estate to present them to the under signed Ralph Rogers on or be fore J uly 14, 1961 or this notice will be pleaded in bar of their recovery. All persons indebt ed to said estate will please make immediate payment to the undersigned at Route #1, Murphy, N. C. This the 8th day of July, 1961. Ralph Rogers 50 4t SENATOR SAM ERVIN * SAYS V WASHINGTON -The Attorney General has asked Congress for new weapons to combat organized racketeering. The current basketball scandals have brought home the impact of organized crime In allwalks of life. At the turn of the 20th century Lincoln Steffens In a series of newspaper articles uncovered the ugliness and 'corruption which crime brings and a reform wave swept the country. The McClellan hear ings have recently shaken public apathy toward crime. On April 7th the Attorney General announced eight pro posals to more effectively cope with organized crime, five of which are similar to proposals authored by hi* precedes sor. These bills are legalistic in their language but In brief they seek to curb criminal activity by regulating interstate travel for criminal purposes, regulating the transportation of gambling de vices not controlled by the present Johnson Act, and by making changes In the Fugitive Felon Act and the Federal Firearms Acts. Most citizens favor (he purpose of this type ?f legislation, but the major problem conf ronti ng Congress and the Justice Department Is the drafting of the proposed law*. It i* difficult to curb racketeering and at the same time to safeguard the basic civil liberties of the ordinary sinner. In plain language, it is hard to catch the sharks and at the sametimenot catch all of the minnows. SOCIAL SECURITY CHANGES Congress has enacted four major changes in the rules governing social security benefits. These are: (1) men now have the option to retire at the age of 62 at 80% of the benefits they would otherwise be endded to receive at the age of 65; (2) the minimum benefit has been raised from $33 to $40 a month; (3) the monthly benefit for widows has been Increased by 10%; and (4) provisions for loss of bene fits have been modified on earnings between $1,200 and $1,700 a year by those who have Job*. HEARINGS -- The Consti tutional Rights of the American Indian. The Sub committee has received a number of complaints from the reservation and off-reaerva don Indian* regarding a denial of their basis constitutional ^ right*. 77 REVALUES Savt on Nylon and Tyrox ?
