Hobbs Implement Co., Inc. GUY C. HOBBS, Mgr. EDENTON, N. C. “YOUR JOHN DEERE DEALER” should be kept cut short. A grass fire can spread easily and quickly. Good roofing is one of the best protections against fire. Are all of your chimneys kept in good condition? Defective chimneys, flues, and stove pipes are a major cause of fires in farm homes. Have chimneys cleaned every fall. Repair cracks and other defects with cement mortar, particularly at the roof line. Be' sure build ings and wire fenges are equip ped with lightning rods. See to it that stoves, ranges and fire places are kept clean. Have stoves at least eighteen inches from walls and woodwork. Take note of your portable kerosene heaters. Whole families have been wiped out by fires caused by kerosene heaters when they flared up during the night while the family slept. Check your electrical systems, especially all fuses boxes. Re move flexible electric cords under rugs arid those tacked to base boards, wall or ceiling, and have ! a competent electrician install ap i proved wiring. Get rid of any unnecessary materials as old pa i pers. clothing and furniture. See that paint cans are stored with ! covers in place and that oily rags ! and paint cloths are either thrown ; away or stored in metal cans. Get rid of all explosive or flam ! mable liquids such as gasoline, i Never use gasoline or even kero | sene to light or quicken a stub ■ born fire in a coal or wood burn ing stove or fireplace. This is I extremely dangerous; Stop fires i —save lives.

A number of other practices were applied such as conservation crop rotation, wild life strips, tree planting, wood land thinning and harvesting, pastures, cover crops, perennial grasses and others. This conservation work was made possible by the excellent cooperation given the local soil conservation district and the lo nal technicians of SCS by Cho wan County people both on and off the farm. Besides the regular work of the Albemarle Conservation Dis trict. the district furnished tech nical assistance to the Chowan County Commissioners and the Town of Edenton on their drain age projects under the Civil De fense program. A complete soil and water ■ conservation plan was prepared on the Edenton Naval Air Sta tion m cooperation With the Fifth Naval District. Soil Con serv; tion Service personnel pre pared conservation plans on all the Navy lands in the Fifth Naval District to conserve the natural resources on these lands. Commissioners Back Club Women Continued from Page I—Section 1 a woman with home economics background to be called an as- j sistant state leader of home dem- j onstration work to aid in program execution and to work with the home demonstration organization. Disapproval of district Exten sion directors to be added to the Extension staff. Disapproval that the county agricultural agent be given the title of county director. The recommendations further call for the home agent to meet at least 50 to 65 per cent of the home demonstration club meet ings in the counties and that she continue to train leaders through training schools and personal con tact. Disapproval for home demon stration work to be de-emphasized by a reduction in the number of home economics subject matter specialists. The recommendations also pro vided that county funds available for Extension Service remain in county treasuries to be disbursed by county authorities to Exten sion personnel.
