See that all “smokers” are safely disposed of and never throw a match away until you know it is out. Keep matches away from children. Keep what matches you deem necessary in metal containers and keep the containers out of the reach of children. In North Carolina we general ly start our furnaces and other ireating appliances during the latter part of October or the first of Novembef. Fire Preven tion Week, always the first or second week of October, is the ideal tlmb to inspect all such ap pliances and this leaves one, two or three weeks in which to have aaaasaary s^psln made. la* tCofttlnnea sped all stoves, heaters, smoke- pipes and chimneys and flues. Clean them and see that all need ed repairs are made before you start or allow the winter fires to be started. If there la any wood or woodwork within two feet of a stove, furnace or heater of any kind, or any pip© connected with either, move the stove, heater, furnace, pipe or the wood or woodwork. If impracticable to do this, thoroughly protect the wood. If the wood or woodwork is closer than eighteen inches— take no chances—-move one or the other—or else you will have to move yourself and that in a hurry.

The officers nominated were as follows; A. A. Finley, president; J. B. Williams, vice president; T. E. Story, secretary: W. K. Sturdi vant. past president; D. J. Car ter. C. O. McNiel, J. C. Reins, A. H. Casey and W[. F. Gaddy, direc tors. The program Friday was under direction of Rev Eugene Olive. He and Mrs. Olive and John Kermit Blackburn opened the program by singing. “Behold, What Manner of Love.” Rev. Mr. Olive then in troduced Mrs. Toul White, of Chapel Hill, who spoke very inter estingly on the subject, “The Tangled Maze in Which the World Finds Itself.” She said we are like one who has gone in the Hedged Gardens of London, who after wandering here and there and in and out finds himself completely lost, then a voice from somewhere coming from a guide tells the person to turn to the right, then the left, then forward and to the right again and he is out of the maze. “The peoples of the earth are in such a maze and are waiting for a voice to direct them out. In small groups they think they hear the voice that guide as some fol low Hitler, others Mussolini, and still others Stalin. But their call is not a universal call and there fore fails to lead us from the maze.” • She Tsaid, “The Christian Co-ope rative is sufficient to lead us out if we would heed its call. If the world is unified and brought to a common understanding it will be through heeding this lead.” Mrs. M. S. Breckenridge, of Chapel Hill, was a guest of Rev. Eugene Oliva P.-T. A.

Priwi WlthlB People May Expect Fireoien ' Some Time This Wedc F«r Annual Inspection YEAR’S FIRE LOSS SMALL Precautions Taken by Real- dents and Efiieleney Ftm 'Department Cuts Losses This is fire prevention week throughout the nation and firemen here -will co-operate by making their annual inspection of property in this city this week. Since the inspection was made last year there has been but very little fire loss in North Wilkesboro. In fact the fire loss during the past year was negligent compared with the several years previous. Although the fire department has answered each call promptly and did some good work in extinguish ing fires, there were very few calls to answer. This is a healthy in dication that residents of the city have taken precautions to prevent fires. The annual inspection of fire men will be for the express pur pose of assisting the people to re move fire hazards and to offer suggestions for fire prevention. Wholehearted co-operation on the part of the entire population of the town is confidently expected in this endeavor. At this season of the year when people are for the first time since last spring starting fires for heat ing purposes fire hazards are very great and for this reason fire pre vention week is observed in early October as a reminder to remove fire hazards before the fall fires are started in the home or place of business.
