Guard Against Fires
This is Fire Prevention Week.
Half, and perhaps more, of the fire losses are caused
by neglect and carelessness, much of it as a result of
careless ignorance. For that reason we need spec
ial schooling and special drills on fire prevention and
precautions against fires.
The man who properly contructs his house, both
within and without, will have few accidental fires. Yet
he may have his home burned by the careless han
dling of matches, lamps, cigarette stumps, or by per
mitting trash, paper, and other combustible materials
to accumulate. Greasy rags, stored away in closets
and other places are also dangerous and cause many
fires by spontaneous combustion. Acids, oils, and
gas are all very dangerous, and should be handled
with much care at all times
Fire is always destroying life and property, and
what it destroys it never gives back. It is a total loss.
If your house, your timber, your goods, or your body
is burned, thers is no return.
All children need to be constantly taught the dan
ger in fire and the proper way to handle it. Mothers
should go through the pockets of their children to
see that they do not carry matches. Fathers should
examine every chimney and every flue to see that
there are no holes or cracks that will permit burn
ing soot to come in contact with wood. Every flue
with brick on edge should be taken down and the
brick laid flat with good mortar between. Keep the
curtains away from burning lamps. Don't hang metal
pieces across light wires.
With proper care "on the part of the people and
proper care by insurance companies not to insure too
highly, the fire loss would be negligible.
The. American people can save several hundred mil
lions each year from fire loss if they will.
Encourgaging Signs
With two new banks opening in eastern North
Carolina last week, business must be improving. It
is an established fact that when peopfe put their
money to work, conditions will improve. Goldsboro
and Henderson each opened closed banks last week
and in so doing customers of the two institutions will
Senator J. W. Bailey has had something to say
about what President Roosevelt and his Democratic
Congress should do after they take office on March
4th. That is not politics—it is statesmanship. The
fellow who has no higher political aspirations or great
er knowledge of conditions than to wish to ride into
office by cursing Hoover and the Republican Party is
not the best type of Democrat.
What we need is a man, or men, who are able and
willing to do the people good. The idea of changing
administrations simply for the purpose of changing
postmasters or procuring a new cabinet will count
very little in bringing prosperity.
But we do need a new system that will save cost
In government and put every business and industry
on an equal footing—recognizing the individual as
the foundation of our government and always recog
nizing man as more important than any business or
any combination of businesses.
It is better for business to suffer than it is for man
to suffer.
The Democratic party needs to have relief measures
already framed so that they may be written into law
within 60 days after the 4th of next March.
The sin of the last Congress was its dilatory
tactics practiced by the members of the Republican
Party generally and by some added Democrats.
Less Expenses
The Government will sell $450,000,000 in new se
curities on October 15 to take care of interest and
bond payments due on that date, and which she is
unable to pay. » '
That is where the government beats the ordinary
fellow. It can sell all the bonds it wishes at 3 per
cent interest, while the individual finds it hard to
get loans at any price.
But, after all, it proves that hte government and
most individuals are about alike when it comes to
extravagance. Less expenses are what we need to
even up our budgets. ■
Little Pen-o-grams
save thousands of dollars, all because they have been
given an opportunity to work out of the depression.
There has never been a better time in the history
of American business than now to trust money with
the banks. More care is exercised and more safe
guards are in effect now than at any time in handling
money, and when everyone meditates and places all
money in the bank and into circulation business will
improte in proportion.
A former Williamston man, Mr. R. G. Harrison,
was instrumental along with a few others in the re
opening of the Henderson bank, and we believe that
through his efforts much good will result for the peo
ple there and in that section.
A Dream That Failed to Materialize
Insull's dream never came true. The dream he
had of absorbing all the electric power of America —
which would be so bright that the sun would look
like a stop-light on an automobile in comparison—
seems to Ave utterly failed, and now one Insull is in
Canad, a prisoner, guarded by a bond; while the
other Insull is in Greece, fleeing from the wrath that
has already come.
Insull wanted more than the electric power. He
wanted the legislative power and sought to obtain it
by the purchase of senatorial seats for his friends.
This all goes to show that the world was not made
for one man, but for all men, and that we suffer more
when we have too much than we do when we have
too little. We need to be taught that our souls are
more valuable than everything we can get in this
world.
