S. EDMUNDS) Hardly a business man is to [ be found who hasn't an insurance policy on his property, and most of them agree that it is a wise investment. An insurance policy has kept many a person from becoming destitute after suffering a disasterous fire which probably destroyed a home or business. Unfortunately. the insurance companies do not write policies on timberland and if they did the premiums would probably be too high to make their purchase practical; however the timberland owner may provide himself with a policy whose premiums are very reasonable. This policy is in the form of firelines constructed around and through his timberland. Many a forest fire does more damage in dollars and cents than the fire which may destroy a dwelling house or a business. An increasing number of timber growers are constructing these lines and are receiving high dividends for the small amount of time and money spent. Many are prepared an interesting Christmas program and all school patrons are invited to be present. CLUB MEETING The Bolivia Home Demonstration Club met on Tuesday, Dec. 3rd, Mrs. J. E. Gill, president, led the club collect and conducted an interesting business session. Due to the absence of the Home Agent the lesson was not given. The club accepted an invi tation from tne Aniiocn uiud iu hold a joint Christmas party at the home of Mrs. Ruther Holden. Mrs. Irving Lewis and Mrs. Roger Futch from Norfolk, Va? are visiting their parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Johnson. Miss Catherine Cannon has accepted a position as secretary to the Wilmington Theatre Corp. Rev. Walter Pavy was a dinner guest of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Johnson on Sunday. Mr. and Mrs. C. Ed.

I and in one or two days cut all j the lines necessary in a whole. I community. These firelines or J J furrows prove invaluable if and ' when a fire occurs and furnish' a means of confining it to small area. The lines may vary in con- j struction. Even a double furrow plowed thru the woods or on a property line may help a lot, but an ideal fireline should be plowed solid to a width of eight feet to i fifteen feet, depending on the character of the soil and the density of the growth. Their distance apart will depend entirely on how much results you expect. I The Forest Service will be glad to advise and assist insofar as they are able anyone interested in constructing a system of firelines. Now is the ideal time to | do this job while the fall plowing | is in progress and before the Spring fires start. HONOR 4-H CANNER ~ ""1 I ^ LENA M. PRESSLEY, 17, of Speedwell.

Park As Well As Drive With Safety Director Of Division In j I North Carolina Points Out That Many Accij r r c UCIllS VUXI1C 1 lUlll vaicless Parking "A driver's responsibility does not cease when he steps out of the vehicle he has been driving", Ronald Hocutt, director of the North Carolina Highway Safety Division, asserted this week in calling attention to several serious accidents recently in which ; driverless cars or trucks were in1 volved. In one of these accidents, Hocutt said, a truck which had been left parked on a slight incline without the hand brake on rolled (down the grade, struck a telej phone pole, and killed a lineman | working on top of the pole.
