(Advt.) U. S. FIRE LOSSES ! EXCEED THOSE IN BOMBED BRITAIN \ — Asheville Fireman Heard At j Joint Banquet Honoring Local Squad, Fire losses in this country during the first two years of the war were greater than those inflicted on English cilies during the same time by German bombers, J. H. Bailey, assistant chief of the Ashe iville fire department, said in an address before a joint banquet of the Kiwanis and Lions clubs at which local firemen were honor guests. The function was held in the college dining hall Thursday evening and brought to a forceful climax the observance of Fire Pre vention Week here. About 100 people were present, including the heads of the various local organi zations. Paul Tindall, president of the Kiwanis club, presided, and music was furnished by the Ecusta string band and the Ecusta trio under the direction of John Eversman. After Rev. Ashby Johnson had pronounced the invocation. John Smith, chief of the local fire de- J partment was presented. He gave j a brief report of the activities of | the department and presented the members. At the beginning of his speech, Mr. Bailey commended local fire men for their loyalty and efficien cy. Fire prevention today, he said, is more important than ever before on account of the war and he declared that citizens must do something to reduce appalling fire losses, which this year are 20 per cent above the same date a year ago. Forty-three per cent of the business structures consumed, he estimated, would not be replaced. ‘ There are really two fronts to day,” Mr. Bailey said, “the military and the civilian, which are depend ent on each other. We at home must carry on the same as the boys on the battle fronts,” he as serted. ' Every boy who leaves home to fight, he continued, car ries in his mind a dream of the home he left and to which he wishes to return. It is the solemn duty of civilians to protect by ev ery means at their command these homes against destruction. Mr. Bailey described a number of common fire hazards and urged, people to be on the alert for them every week in the year. Those who exercise the proper diligen ce, he declared, will at the same time reap benefits and render a service to their country.

Sanders by one who knew and loved her. She was the mother of 10 child ren, nine of whom she raised to manhood and womanhood. She al so had three grandchildren, two girls and one boy.
