GIRL SCOUTS Recently three troops of Brown ies have been to see the LlbTary and to learn more about the Chil dren's Room. The East Waynesville Troop No. 57 has been twice to study how to find books and it is regarding to see the way our youngsters use the books. You too would enjoy peeping into our Children's room on a Saturday just to see the way they go about finding their books. Troop No. 56 (also from East Waynesville) has visited the Li brary. They were all worn out af ter having spent most of the day at various points up town. Troop No. 65 was our visitor during Girl Scout Week and they as the others are attempting to be all registered borrowers of thetLi brary. It is a small troop with the Citizens Need To Be More Fire Conscious; Cautious Former Chief Tells Rotary "People must learn to be more fire conscious," James Bailey, fire fighting specialist, told Rotarians here Friday, as he discussed the many fire dangers in homes and businesses. "The annual fire loss in America is in excess of one billion dollars and from 10,000 to 12,000 lives," 1 he said, "plus from 27,000 to 35,000 who are injured." He described the scenes of sev eral cities who have suffered from devastating blazes in their history, and he said: ? "During the years, there has been a constant research program for better methods of fighting and combatting fires. Right here in your community your town officials have just purchased a modern fire truck, which is designed to save property damage and lives. "The truck is equipped with a high pressure pump which enables firemen to use a smothering fog, in stead of the old system of literally washing a place away with water. "Under this new method of com batting a fire, there is a minimum of water damage, as there is 25 per cent less water used. The speaker told of a recent > demonstration of where a fire in a 5-room house was extinguished with 110 gallons of water, by the use tif the high pressure fog sys tem. "The fog smothers a blaze in stead of spreading it like the old fashioned stream of water," Bailey said. "Through education, schools, drills, research and practice, the status of a fireman today is a pro fession. Much of this can be attrib uted to the program of the N. C. State Firemen's Association. Each year a 5-day school is held, and following members: Shelia Ballance, Paula Kay Bry- 1 son, Darlene Curtis, Mary Frances Ketner, Linda Lane, Martha Helen McCracken, Linda Gage Robinson. ] Miss Oates To Enter Atlanta Nurses School Miss Gail Oates, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Will Oates of Canton, has been informed that she passed the entrance examination and other requirements for entrance to Grady Memorial Hospital of Atlanta. Miss Oates will matriculate on June 20. She is a graduate of Reynolds High School and a mem ber of the Class of 1954. Insurance Agents Win Trip To Raleigh The entire sales staff of the State Capital Life Insurance Co., headed by Paul Franklin, have won an all-expense-paid trip to Raleigh for themselves and their wives. Other agents besides Mr. Frank lin are William L. Lovedahl, Rich ard R. Shoaf, and R. V. Holland, Jr. While in Raleigh, the group will attend the Horace Heidt show. firemen are trained by experts In the latest methods of combatting fire," he said. The speaker pointed out that in North Carolina 70 per cent of the fires are preventable, which means everyone should be fire conscious all the time." Mr. Bailey paid tribute to Fire Chief Felix Stovall and his assist ants, as he said they were "guard ians of the lives of about 6,000 people, and some $6,000,000 in property." "These men have assumed this responsibility without pay, because they realize the importance of this protection to the citizens of the community and the property," he said. W. H. Prevost was taken into the club as a new member. He was in ductea by M. H. Bowles. ' W. S. Ray presided over the meeting. Clyde Man Graduates From 8-Week Course FORT BELVOIR, V*. ?
