After hard work on the part of ;the firefighters, the lot and three brick chimneys were saved. Sant Holcomb, Jonesville fire chief, didn't awaken t 0 take part in the fire. Some say if he had been on the job, the church might have burned, too. TKg IUDW ITOUNB, BLEPI, NOHTH CAKOUHA - : t Water pressure was tow and when the church steeple caught fire on the top, instead of throwing wa ter up to the blase the firemen had to wait for the flames to burn down to the water. Some confusion was said to have prevailed when the Jonesville fire fighting equipment was found scat tered in three different places. • • • ADVICE TO MOTORISTS 1. Regulate your speed to driv ing conditions if a patrolman is any where in Bight. If not, 60 miles an hour may be dangerous, but it's lots of fun. 2. Drive faster than will per mit you to stop within the assured clear distance ahead. Someone may suddenly come out of an Intersec tion or around a curve and it'll be a chance to get your name in the paper, even if it is the funeral col umn. 3. Do not pass the car ahead un less sure that you will have barely room to squeeze in ahead of the car coming. If you can run it into the ditch, it will bring more personal satisfaction. 4. Have your car inspected once every 19 years. 5. Give the pedestrian an even break. These jagged fractures are so painful. 6. Don't believe that courtesy and common sense are the two great est friends of accident preventoin. LATEST NEWS PROM THE RAT FRONT Rlkin, April 25.—(Assassinated Press) —A momentary lull was in evidence today as the fighters in the city's rat war, headed by the board of town commissioners, took time out to re-bait traps. Hostili ties are expected t 0 continue at any moment as the rats mass forces in the depths of drain spout 32. Commander-and-chief of the Elkin Anti-Rat 19th Divisional Route Army Mayor M. A. Royall, stated last night that as long as the cheese and the poison held out, his men would hold the city. He was confident of a clean-up and victory sooner or later, f • 9 1j "We are planning a great drive," he told a representative ot the Assassinated Press, as he busily sprinkled poison upon a hunk of cheese, "which we expect to end in the total rout of th e rat forces. This drive will be headed by General H. P. Graham, of the 16th brigade, who will be ably assisted by none other than Major Alex Chatham, Corporals M. R. Bailey and H. D. Woodruff. "The drive will get linder way on the morning of April 28. Our first wave, armed with cheese and crack ers, will go over the top at 9:34%, and will place the bait at strategic points. Next will come the second wav e to be known as the Anti-Rat combat troops, who, armed with clubs and baseball bats, will en deavor to beat the enemy into sub mission. "The success of this drive is ob vious. The first wave will place the bait at entrances to rat dugouts. When the rats come out t 0 nibble, the second wave will be there to tap them on the head with clubs. Con fused by the poison, they will show no resistance and the war will be ours!" To date an official count has dis closed the fact that two rats have already met death. One was ac cidentally run over by a truck and the second fell into a tub of water and died of pneumonia. TfflS AND THAT We once knew of a man who was stricken with an attack of appendi citis. The doctors immediately re sorted to ice packs and the patient froze to death. * • • We also knew of a woman who had he r tonsils removed and then talked for months about her "opera tion." • * * If there is anything we detest it's a detailed account of how somebody had their gizzard extracted, or some thing. * • • One of these days somebody in Elkin is going to obey a traffic ordi nance, and that will be news. • • • It was rumored the other day that a man was seen on Main street with a whole dollar in cash. Think of it! • * * Overheard at the tax listing of fice: "Do you own any real estate?" "No, thank goodness!" • • • These spring nights are too warm for a fire and too cold without.
