BIBLE THOUGHT
TEST YOURSELF: Seeing ye have
purified your souls In obeying the truth
through the Spirit unto unfeigned love
of the brethren, see that ye love one
another with a pure heart, fervently.
—1 Peter 1:22.
CARELESSNESS
CAUSE OF FIRES
Sixty-seven years ago. America’s
most disastrous fire swept Chicago
taking heavy toll of lives and millions
in property damage. The fire was
caused by carelessness.
In this modern day the annual loss
from fire averages 10.000 lives and
$300,000,000 in property damages. Ma
jority of the present-day blazes are
caused through carelessness.
Rubbish, refuse, and uncleanliness in
general, are responsible for more fires,
the National Board of Fire Underwrit
ers have found, than any other one
cause. These may well be listed in the
careless class.
It is fitting indeed that local people
should look to fire prevention during
the week of October 9-15—National
Fire Prevention Week—but there is no
reason why the week should not be ob
served throughout the year, and es
pecially THIS week, the cool mornings
call for a little fire In the grate or
furnace.
An ounce of prevention is always
better than a pound of cure, and In
the matter of fire prevention, if is
true a thousand times over.

A bouquet to the fellows who are
hauling logs from up the Cashiers way
to Lake Toxaway—I watched the road
for couple hours Monday, and all of
the drivers who came around the curve
nearby were seemingly very careful
... In fact, so careful that It was no
ticeable.
—8—8—
It’s always the "other fellow” who is
to blame for highway accidents, but If
each of us were careful, then the dan
ger from the "other fellow" would bo
lessened nearly 100 per cent.

Lem Brooks getting a nice home all
ready to move in up In the Sellca sec
tion. Nice front porch which looks
like it might be Injurious to the farm
and garden . . . but will be swell for
resting on.
Prettiest place visited recently—the
Merrill house down in Little River . . .
rock, cement, and big wide panels went
in together to make a place that is
more than a home ... it Is a show
place.
—S—8—
Fred McNeely has some nice places
up at Lake Toxaway . . . cute little cab
ins. wh'ch he says he has no trouble
renting.
—8—8—
Brevard just as well realize that the
trend is toward tourist cottages in the
summer, and take care of the situation.
—8—3—
Thinking of houses, and cottages,
brings afresh to the mind that there Is
a housing shortage in Brevard, becom
ing more and move acute every day.
When there is a demand for anything,
is the time to sell It. and I can’t see
why some of our folk here don't Invest
a little cash in some homes for rent or
for sale.

Karl Bossc is now Banker Bosse
wdth the Transylvania Trust, and seems

the position.

8. B. Pearson out at Cedar Mountain
said that the Sunday school lesson each
week In The Times was well worth the
price of a subscription.

Man over In Greenville county says
he Is groalng blight resistant chest
nuts, and that the fruit (nuts) Is de
licious. Um-m-m . . . wish we could
get some started here. Even old folk
like chestnuts, and they are better when
one goes out and picks them.
-8-8—
When I first came to Brevard there
were' lots of chestnuts and In the fall
of the year that was a pretty nice
thing to be doing Sunday afternoons—
take the lady friend and go chestnut
hunting. For the entertainment of the
young folk we ought to get some of
the new chestnuts started.

Newspaper folk meet In Asheville
Saturday, to spin yarns and check up
on “brethren of the faith" . . . pretty
nice bunch, even If I am In the group.
—S' 8.
I don’t mind fellows making so much
noise with their cars early In the morn
ing . . . I’m always up and about any
way . . . but there are folk who like to
sleep until about 7, and they should
not be disturbed by the loud, grating
noise which some people persist In
making with their auto horns, to say
nothing of running with cut-outs open.
—S—S—
Out to dinner Sunday with Mr. and
Mrs. Tom Wilson, and of course I ate
plenty, plus . . . who wouldn’t with
all the good things to eat set on the
table? Used to think that "town ra
tions” were fine, and thought it was
something smart to go to a cafe In
town and eat lunch for fifteen or
twenty cents—now I like to go to a
place like the Wilson’s and eat a dol
lar and a half worth of the kind of
food Mrs. Wilson prepared Sunday.
—8—8—
Out at the Wilsons are some pretty
colts—five of them—two blacks, two
dapple greys, and a fine mule, to say
nothing of the pretty white-face Here
ford pigs, and the nearly BO head of
cattle Mr. Wilson Is not growing more
than a dozen acres of corn, and says
that is all he needs, ns he expects to
get a thousand bushels or more from
the 12 acres . . . but he has lots of
hay, good pasture, and other feeds . . .
just wait until "my ship comes In”
and I move to MY farm . . . have me
a lot of pigs, cows, and a nice country
home, too.
—S—8—
Smart boy . . . took my kodak ana
"lit out" up the road Monday to get a
picture of a Georgia rum-runner sup
posed to be coming through about 12
to-1 o’clock . . . put In three hours of
waiting, and then found that the-birds
had gone around by Sylva and Waynes
ville. Anyway, I did get some nice
pictures of Toxaway Falls, met sev
eral nice people, and proved to Chief
Freeman that I was a better pistol shot
than he thought I was.
Cold snaps the last of the week
brought out the usual number of pre
dictions about a hard winter . . . who
ever saw a soft one?
—8—8—
With no reservations whatsoever, I
make the statement that better cof
fee Is served in Brevard than any town
in North Carolina . . ? tried out several
spots last week, and know whereof I
speak.
—8—S—
I wonder just how some of our people
are going to manage this winter. They
like to do nothing but loaf around on
the streets, and it Is soon going to be
so cold they can’t make a go of It out
side. They need some place to go—I
suggest GO TO WORK.
—8. 8
BIG farm problem In the politician's
eye is how to get the farm vote.
-8-8—
Clipped a nice map of Central Europe
out of the Greenville News last Mon
day-week. Now it Is all wrong, with
the Germans, Poles, and Hungarians
each taking a slice of Czech territory,
with the approval of the French and
British leaders, who evidently got the
idea somewhere that the last World
War was fought just for the experience.
—8—8—
England and France just like me—
not "too proud to fight"—hate to get
out and scrap. Consequently Mr. Hit
ler had his very own way.
Nice roses this week from Miss Grace
Piercy and Kitnzey Jackson—soon be
the time o’ year when there will bo
none to wear except some a friend
sends every so often from the Hender
sonville flower ship, _and one every so
often from William Rreese.
—S—8—
Fellows like Boyd Melxell. L. C.
Wilson. James Simpson. Coot Moore,
and the McNeely boys get a lot of kick
out of boxing, and they also furnish
clean entertainment for Brevard fans.
Takes a MAN to stand up and take
punishment in a ’•ing, and the way I
look at it. boxing Is good for young
sters, in that it promotes manhood.
Some people in Brevard can be extra
nice when one Is collecting around tho
first of the month, and then some are
not so very courteous. Wonder why?
If a fellow doesn’t have the ready cash
to pay a bill with, at least he could be
nice about it. and say, “I'm sorry, can't
take care of It today—suppose you call
again about
—8—8—
Political bug biting pretty hard, and
pretty often, nowadays. See them
(politicos) on every hand . . . speaking
last week, another 'n or two this week,
and guess it will be from now on.
Thank goodness. It won’t be for long.
—8—8—
Glad I’m not running for office,
judging from the tales some people
make up and tell on candidates who
are out. I’d hate to have all my short
comings paraded before the general
public, and then the mess that is gen
erally added by one's enemies.

Praise for ’Fessor Jones comes from
the state auditor, who says in a letter,
“The records in the office of the sup
erintendent were found to be in fine
condition and I wish to commend him
and his assistants on the very effi
cient manner in which they have hand
led their work for the year ended June
30, 1938.”

A FEW should have a kick in the
pants but that lets me out as I am
just not cut out to be the klcker-kind.

Permit* Are Required
Before Bru*h Allowed
To Be Burned in Co.
According to County Forest Warden
E. R. Galloway of Transylvania Coun
ty. during the flrA six months of 1938,
the State Forest Service reported 455
forest fires In Western North Carolina,
Of these 455 fires, 8 were caused by
lightning. In other words, 452 of the
fires were man-caused and thereby
preventable.
These 452 man-caused fires cost the
State and Counties of Western North
Carolina thousands of dollars in dam
age to timber and wild life to say
nothing of the effect that fires have
on soil erosion and the aesthetic value
of our woodland.
The following statement has been is
sued from the state forester’s office in
regard to securing permits for burning
debris or brush:
Before burning debris of any kind,
secure from your County Forest Ward
en, or one of his authorized represen
tatives. a burning permit. The State
Law on this is as follows:
Section 1. That It shall be unlawful
for any person, firm or corporation to
start nr cause to be started any fire or
Ignite any materials in any of the
areas of woodlands under the protec
tion of the State Forest Service nr
within five hundred feet of any such
protected area, between the first day of
April and the fifteenth day of June, in
clusive. or between the fifteenth day of
October and the first day of December,
inclusive. In any year, without first ob
taining from the State Forester or one
of his duly authorized agents a permit
to set out fire or Ignite any materia! In
such above mentioned protected areas:
that no charge shall be made for the
granting of said permits.
Burning permits can b? secured from
County Forest Warden E. R. Gailoway
at Rosman and the following District
Wardens:
L. E. Cash, Oakland: Pisgah Ranger
Station, Piegah Forest: Farmer’s Sup
ply Co., Brevard (Mack Allison).
After securing your burning permit,
notify your adjoining landowner that
you intend to do such burning.
Maintain careful and competent
watch over your fire and never leave
your fire until it is completely out.
Never bum near the woods or where
fire can reach the woods when condi
tions are dangerously dry.
The State Forest Service Laws are I
going to be enforced. Those falling to
comply with these laws are going to
be prosecuted. We hope that through
your cooperation this will not be neces
sary.

Your Old-Age
Insurance
_ __
What Old-Age Insurance Means to
Women
Many girls who have Jobs In stores,
offices, laundries, factories, restaur
ants, hotels, will continue to work five
or six years; then they will marry and
leave the business world for awhile,
maybe forever. What will become of
their old-age Insurance benefits? Such
benefits, as may accrue, will be wait
ing for them in the Treasury of the
United States, when those women reach
the age of 66.
Whether a woman marries or not
has nothing whatever to do with the
matter of her old-age Insurance. Quite
often marriage takes a woman out of
the wage-earning class, or Interrupts
her employment. But during all the
time—between the last day of 1936
and her 65th birthday—that she is em
ployed in any line of business or in
dustry, which comes under the old-age
insurance law, her wages will be cred
ited to her social security account.
Even though she changes jobs, often,
and is employed* by many different
firms, that will not alter an insured
worker’s right to old-age Insurance pro
tection.
Old-age Insurance will be paid to
workers who are entitled to such pay
ment, regardless of property or other
Income. Income from another source
does not affect this payment In any
way, shape or form.
The amount of old-age insurance
each Insured wage-earner will receive
depends upon the total amount of wages
paid her between the last day of 193*
and her «5th birthday. The amount
of the payment will be 3 1-2 percent of
all wages shown on her social security
account.
There is no chance for the womar
who participates In the old-age insur
ance plan to lose. If she lives to be
65 years old, she will receive benefit?
amounting to more than she paid into
the fund. If she dies^ before receiving
benefits to which her wage-earn Ini?
entitle her. a near relative will receive
a lump-sum payment, amounting to
more than the deceased worker had
paid Into the fund.
