Fire Prevention Week With Fire Prevention Week scheduled to be observed next week, October 4-10, records show each year’s loss of life and property in creasing over the previous year. Last year fire left in its path a staggering home and property damage bill of over one billion dol lars. Citizens of Edenton arid Chowan Coun ty, along with the rest of the nation, are footing the bill. What’s more, every home lost by fire is a tragic family blow aside from the economic loss. In addition to de stroying property, fire is a savage killer, snuffing cut thousands of lives in America each year. Fire Chief W. J. Yates says most common acts of carelessness often lead to a disastrous blaze. “The most common causes of home fires are smoking and matches,” says Chief \ ates. “Always use ash trays to dispose of cigars, cigarettes and pipe a^hes.” Chief Yates emphasizes the importance of each member of a family being instructed in what to do when fire breaks out “Particu lar attention should be given in instructing baby sitters,” he says. “Their first action should be to remove the children from th*» house, then place the alarm by, phone. Your Fire Department phone m mber should be permanently fixed to the home phone.” Edenton has an enviable fire record, which can be maintained by cooperating with the Fire Department not only during Fire Pre vention Week, but every day of the week throughout the year. Every week should be Fire Prevention Week. Not Persecution With every passing day Tar Heel drivers are becoming increasingly aware that the state’s point system is methodically chasten ing bad drivers as surely as bad drivers con tinue to threaten others. Several, according to the State Department of Motor Vehicles, are at the threshold of li cense suspension. This despite the fact the point system has been operative only since June. Since the system became law, Tar Heel drivers with long established attitudes of in difference behind the wheel have learned that points indeed shape their driving future. The point system, which has become char acterized by the slogan “Operation 4-7-12,” is North Carolina’s answer to the habitual traffic violator. It’s based on the easy-to understand premise that it’s far better to reach the dangerous driver and stop acci dents before they happen. And the empha sis is on before. The point system is not persecution. Dur ing a lifetime, a majority of North Carolina drivers will be as little concerned, with points as they were, say with OPA regulations dur ing the war. But the traffic hoodlum will find tough sledding if he refires to mend his ways. He’s offered two clear avenues toward re form; the fourth and seventh level of “Op eration 4-7-12.” First, there’s a word of cau tion voiced by vehicle authorities. At seven points there’s a trouble-shooting conference with licensing officials and a chance to attend a department-conducted rehabilitation course, a driver improvement clinic where three points may be removed from his record. Or, if he continues his irresponsible ways, it’s gocdby driver license at 12 points. Forfeiture of one’s driving privileges—even for bO days—is strong medicine. But so long as we have no indemnity against high way accidents we can have no sympathy for the careless driver. Not what yccr read but{ how you read it is the key to knowledge. The millenium will approach when prin ciples outweigh profits and politics. Nothing is drudgery to one who is*’inter ested and happy in the work at hand. » . 'lka.W r ' __ . • _ • , .

Ward, Jr., spent a few days in Asheville attending the annual convention of the North Carolina League of Municipalities, and he left town without even giving the Mayor pro tem a silk hat and cane. I’m regusted! o Ladies of the Eastern Star miscued a bit at the Rotary Club’s annual Teachers’ and Ladies’ Night Banquet held Thursday night in the Masonic Temple. The ladies served country ham and, of course, Dr. Murray Kantor, the principal speaker for the occa sion, is rabbi of the Agudath Achim congre gation in Suffolk. Os course, the ladies should have been tipped eff beforehand, for they would have served him. something else. - Anyway, Dr. Kantor, a very likeable and congenial sort of person, did not eat the ham, which he referred to as “a commodity I don’t like to mention.” But if he was still hungry or not, he had plenty of energy to un cork a speech which was so interesting and spell-binding that many would have liked to listen to him longer. Why even Charlie Overman and Izzy Campen didn’t take their usual snoozes. o Wednesday night of last week a group of Scottish Rite Masons enjoyed a steak si.pper at the Edenton Restaurant. At one stage of the meal Mrs. Boswell sent in a large tray of onion rings. One of the fellows, who doesn’t like onions, thought they were dough nuts and hurriedly picked up one. But one bite convinced him he wasn’t eating dough nuts. The onion rings rapidly disappeared just the same, so somebody liked ’em. Then during the evening two of the fellows from New Bern were talking about the merits of the Consistory and said they borrowed the money from their wives to join some years ago. One said he paid back the money, but the other didn’t. Anyway, one of the pros pective members asked thd question, “What’s a fellcw going to do if his wife doesn’t have the money?” A good question! o Edenton Aces have no reason to complain about not having a large following of fans both at home and when they play elsewhere. Its good there was no fire in Edenton last Friday night for it looked as though the whole town was over at Williamston and not enough people left in Edenton to fight a fire. But the Aces also have a “furriner” who is a 100 per cent fan. Gerald James, former prin- , cipal. now working in Greene County (and the Missus, too) have not missed a game this season. Yep, he was at Williamston and a here’s betting a good stogie that he’ll turn i up at Scotland Neck next Friday night. t o ( Earl Wilson, in the Virginian-Pilct the other r day, said: “Rotarians arc men who sing when sober.” But one of the Edenton Ro tarians says, “It takes men to do that.” o • All I can say is that Edenton has a tre mendous population of religious and industri ous gnats this year. It wasn’t very warm Sunday, but just about everybody in the Methodist Church kept a fan moving prac tically every minute of the service. They had to cruise go “nerts” with the devilish gnats crawling in the ears, nose, eyes and every where else. Then the consarn things have been hanging around my desk as if they want to take my job. Here’s one who likes warm weather, bit if a cold snap will get rid of the confounded gnats—let ’er rip! Never since I’ve been in Edenton have I been tormented so much with gnats.

We picked who we thought would be the football winners on Saturday afternoon. I picked Ohio State over Duke, but Philip, be ing a loyal Duke fan, said Duke wou’d win. Well, just to be loyal, I changed over and thereby lost a free meal at the Rotary Club. Loyalty didn’t pay off! o With my car in the garage and having seme work to do, here’s one who didn’t get out to the wrestling match Tuesday night. Ac cording to reports, a large crowd turned out for the matches, so that the band, no doubt, picked up a few pennies.

He had started a 22-mile drive from Port Aransas, Texas, down the beach of Mustang Is land where he planned to cross a causeway back to the main land and then return to Corpus Christi. “I started without a care in the world,” he said. “Before I had driven the 22 miles, which proved to be the longest 22 miles in the world for me, I was on my knees in prayer, asking God to get me out of my pre dicament.” When he started from Port Aransas, he didn’t know that the tide was in and that flotsam littered the beach a few miles beyond the starting point, leav ing no hard-packed sand on which to drive. “I had about passed the point of no return,” he said, “when a squall blew up, sending waves over my floor boards. I had driven in low gear so long that my car was dangerously over heated, and I had to stop pe riodically to let the engine cool. “I found myself actually driv ing into the ocean to avoid the driftwood and high piles of soft sand! “I came upon one spot where two cars had been abandoned.
