Tate Foundation, George By CLARK COX Fire is one of mankind'! greatest friends. Without it, the talks of warming our homes and offices, preparing our food, and manufacturing a myriad of needed goods and luxuries would preaent insurmountable problems. Without fire, our civ ilization would slow to a com parative standstill. No wonder, then, that primitive societies all over the world have worshipped fire as a god. At the same time, fire is a great enemy to mankind. Fire gone out of control takes a tremendous toll each year on men's livea, as well as on their material property and posses sions. The damages caused yearly by tire across the United States create fantastic expenses for individuals, organizations, and insurance companies. In ad dition, there are great costs for providing and maintaining facilities for fighting such fires. In great metropolitan centers, fires are fought, largely at pub lic expense, by great armies ef paid civil employees. Bat In cammaaltlei like Boone and Blowing Rock, the fire depart meats consist ef varying nun ben of responsible, dedicated me* who volunteer their ser vice* and remain en call at all tkni<? in the event of a Are. The only rewards these men get are satisfaction in having per formed their doty, a sense of security In knowing that they have helped to bnlld a safer community, and perhaps reduc ed fbe I near* nee rates which they share with their neighbors. In 1963 (to October 1) the Boone and Blowing Rock fire departments have answered a combined total of 48 fire calls, holding damages to a total of $83,403 ? an outstanding record if one pauses to reflect upon it. Damages in Many of these fires were negligible. The fig UW for total damages does not include damage resulting from forest fires. During the week of October (-It, the IT members of the Boone Fire Department and the 25 members of the Blowing Rock Fire Department are help ing in the observance of North Carolina Fire Prevention Week, an annual conunemoration de clared this year by Governor Terry Sanford. These fire department mem bers should be given due rec Thompaon, Mrs. Join B. von SchlegeU, Waldenslan Bakeries, Larry Walter, O. H.
