Hope Black
Remembered
A gift of $5,000 to Foothills
Humane Society from James H.
Black of Little Orchard in the
Hunting Country, was received
enthusiastically by the Society's
President, Nancy (Pat) Martin
last week.
“This is the second time Jim
has given us a big boost," said
Pat, "both gifts in memory of his
wife. Hope. Of course he knows
better than anyone else how
devoted Hope was to the care of
homeless and abused cats and
dogs.
“This money will go to
purchase more cages for the
animals we shelter while
searching for homes for them —
and will help with other
equipment, also, as we near the
time when we move the Society’s
shelter from Campobello to the
new facility.
"Mr. Black actually drove out
to the new shelter to see what we
are doing, and we invite other
interested people to do the same.
We’re right next to Tryon
Hounds, on Little Mountain Road.
“While the Society gets
absolutely no public government
money, we do get public support,
and we appreciate every single
dime of it." — Reporter

Fire Prevention Week
Oct. 7—13
Fire Prevention Week was
inspired by one of the worst fires
in the history of our nation: The
Great Chicago Fire of 1871. On
October 9th of that year, 250
people died and 17,430 buildings
were destroyed. In 1911 the Fire
Marshals Association first
designated the anniversary of
this tragedy fire prevention day,
dedicated to encouraging fire
safety. In 1922, President Warren
G Harding proclaimed National
Fire Prevention Week.
Every year, almost 5,000
Americans die in home fires.
That's 13 people every day, dying
in their own homes. Tens of
thousands more suffer pain and
disfigurement from burns and
smoke inhalation. (Fire destroy
property at a rate of $7440 a
minute!)
This years fire prevention
theme is “Make Your Place
Firesafe" Hunt for home
hazards.
Use the following checklist to
identify fire hazards.
□ Matches, lighters and
smoking materials: are there
matches or lighters lying around
where little children could reach
them?
□ Heaters: If there is a
portable or space heater in your
home, is it at least three feet
away from anything that can
burn?
□ Kitchen: Are all the
pothandles on the stove turned
