Prevatte is not doing a good job of running the Brunswick County Recorder's Court in his appointed role as acting-judge; but we join with scores of others in saying that he acted in a highly inconsiderate manner on Monday when he went away on private business and made no provision for having cnyone conduct his court until his return after noon. 1 J* 41. ~ l,o ''" '-they'd like to have. Any community which does that is asking for destruction. II would be very fine if every town coulc be supplied at once with all the apparatu: it wants. But that is obviously impossible And in the meantime, every communitj should be preparing volunteers to handh equipment when it comes?and to figh fire in other ways if it doesn't come. It's just as important to extinguish i fire which starts from a faulty stove, ai a fire which is started by an incendiary As he explained irum me ucmu, was called-with very short notice to take a Civil Service examination; but it was a matter of his persona! convenience as against that of the defendants, the witnesses and the officers in cases scheduled for trial. And wherever a man becomes a public servant, it is presumed that he does so with no reservations. We Get A Siren WORD ha?: been received that the siren, ordered by Civilian Defense officials for an air raid warning signal ifor Southport, has been shipped and should reach here any day now. In the first place, we want to say that we believe that this is a wise investment, and that the plan to give signals by siren blasts is much better than to depend upon church bell-ringing. In the second place, we want to pay our respects to the campaign that result ed in raising about two hundred and fifty dollars by public subscription. The project was set in motion by Chas. M. Trott, and collections were made by Chief of Police Otto Hickman and Morris. Cranmer. These fellows deserve credit for doing a good job. Scrap Metal Drive ALMOST anybody is generous so long as his generosity is painless. This wtAona 4-Uof fKo onvon mofol nvAnrrom Ko. iiicaiio vnai inc oviap 141,? ing inaugurated in this county by Chairman J. E. Dodson has a fine chance of success. In the first place, there is the matter of furnishing sorely needed scrap iron for the hungry blast-furnaces of our steel mills. This affords an opportunity for everyone of us to cooperate with the defense effort by contributing articles that are of no apparent use to us. Secondly, in asking that the metal be given to to the church instead of selling it to the government, Chairman Dodson is appealing to another side of human nature. We think that the program, worked out along these lines, is going to result in an outpouring of scrap metal from this county. Be Your Own Fireman 17 civilian defense activity is to achieve maximum results, the prevention and eontrol of fire must be stressed at all times. No one knows whether fire bombs will ever rain down from the skies upon our town. If that does happen?and never forget that it can happen?the very life of this community may depend upon the efficiency of our fire fighters. If it doesn't happen, a public which is trained in the basic principles of fire prevention can be of inestimable service in reducing the vast toll of fires which occur "normally." ! It has been said that many communities have relaxed their civilian defense fire training simply because they couldn't obtain as much fire-fighting equipment as And the most important thing of all is t< eliminate the causes of fire. The averagi American home contains many grave haz ards which its occupants never think of The same thing is true of the averagt place of business. Improperly stored in flammable liquids, accumulations of pa per, rags and odds and ends, poorly-main tained heating equipment?such hazard: as these cause fires which take hundred: i of lives and destroy tens of millions o dollars worth of property each year. Let every American community, fron the smallest to the largest, make up. it: mind that it will lick its own fire problem It can be done?and it must be done. Physical Fitness THE appaling number of young mer who are being rejected for militarj service because of physical disability em ' phasizes the necessity of proper physica training in the United States. A major proportion of those defect : found in our young men are the result oi neglect. There are few men who go into the army who do not thrive on the whole' some food, the regular hours, and the systematic exercise through which the I soldier and the fighting man of today is put. But the question which is paramount in our minds is why should this program ol physical fitness be limited to times oi war? Why shouldn't emphasis be laid or this phase of our preparedness program in peacetime as well as in war? Bernarr McFadden, writer and physical culture expert, has demonstrated the kind of manhood which can be developed through systematic exercise and regulated training. The number of men being rejected at the army induction centers is something to which our attention must be directed (and we should see to it that the rising (generation of both young men and girls are more fit physicall than those of the present day and time. Take the matter of dental care. Thousands upon thousands of young men are sitting at home-today because they have neglected through the years to take care of their teeth. They would like to be doing their bit for the country and people they love, but years of carelessness, simply in regard to their teeth, prevents them from doing what they would like. Let us begin now to make sure that another generation of young men and women shall be as nearly perfect physicallj " 4-~ 11..

Our soldiers needn't learn the Germar language. The bark of a rifle is something Hitler will understand. 4 ** Then again, people who live in glass houses shouldn't throw wild parties. NOT EXACTLY NEWS Mrs. F. T. Clemmons says that she has a nev calf at her place that really is a "victory" animal , In its forehead <s a perfect "V" . . . Another un usual farm oddity of the past week is word tha A. G. Lewis, who has 2 acres of sweet potatoe; potatoes planted from seed in rows, dug thre; hills last week and recovered 45 new potatoes The largest of the old (or mother.) potatoe; , weighed one and one-half pounds. Mr. Baxter Durham, former state auditor am a visitor here last week with Mrs. Durham, Is i gentleman farmer now, living on his place abou eight miles from Raleigh. He is now serving a secretary of the State Retirement Commission. To show how scattered the 'old dance-promotinj crowd is around here now, word that a top-notcl dance band could be had Friday night for one half price hardly caused a flutter. There are others in the county who are interes ted in milk goats, but Mrs. Alvin Willis, of Shal lotte, has first-hand knowledge of their value When she lost her's recently she began a franti search for another . . . Dog flies, which usuall; swarm in during early August, have been encour agingly slow about showing up this year. The cutest bunch of pups we've seen were th< five snow-white spitz reared by Mrs. Lee Hewet' and daughters. It must have taken a lot of laun dering to keep those pups as spic and span a they were each time we saw them . . .

Its playing tonight and tomorrow . 1 We hear that Brunswick will have the same lay , day plan for quail hunting in effect this year a last. We've been doing a little research, and we'v ' discovered that a cow that has been grazing a i day in the rain requires practically no water t t drink that night. What we haven't been able t figure out yet, though, is whether it is because c the wet grass slacking her thirst, or because th 1 rain soaks in through her skin . . . And, havin s looked back over today's so-called column we d( . tect a decided barnyard odor. THE STATE PORT PI! iSSS I ENTERTAINS FRIENDS J 1 Mrs. J. D.
