UNCLE FERDS ALMANAC
For Smoke or Ornament?
I was successfully killing time
by conversing with S. D. Stallings
the other night (I always enjoy
talking to him because we have
two things in common: we’re both
Democrats, and he’s rich and I
would like to be) when I men
tioned that I wanted some oak
wood for my fireplace.
He advised me that his brother
might have some, and then com
mented on how much friendlier
an open fire, especially an oak-fed
fire, is than a stove, or even a
heat-pump. As usual, he’s right.
The fireplace is not peculiar to
America, but it comes nearer be
ing worshipped here than any
where else in the world. Even the
newest and most modern houses
come equipped with fireplaces,
seme of which work.
I have two fireplaces at Fort
Davis, and one winter when the
floor furnace acted up for a week
or so, the fireplace did a credita
ble job of heating five rooms (but
it was cold as you-know-what in
the other two rooms).
For just a little more money,
you can get a circulating fireplace
which will be efficient as a fine
hot air furnace system, and it will
be a lot more dependable. The El
lis Efirds, who live next to Lake
Murray, heat their home with
a circulating fireplace; its only
fault is that its heat melts can
dles on the mantel. And Colonel
Kenneth Hobbs heats a home
about the size Mr. Barrow’s would
be if it were all on one floor with
one (1) fireplace; it has a pie-

Because he was having an af
fair with h : estranged wife, L. F.
Pollard, Raicigh policeman, pour
ed molasses in the gas tank of
Russell Bailey’s car.
Bailey, who formerly lived on
Zebulon, Route 1, works in Ra
leigh and lives at 315 E. Jones St.
The investigating officer said
that he understood that Bailey had
been dating Mrs. Ann Pollard,
and Pollard became angry while
he was “beered up” and alleged

Pollard and his wife had been

num chamber, and ducts to every
room.
But generally fireplaces gener
ally fall into two categories: those
which are ornamental, and those
that smoke. Nothing can be done
about the former, some of which
are built without chimneys, but
the latter can be improved even
to the point of usefulness.
You ought to have a smoke
chamber above your fireplace, but
if you will control the depth of
your fireplace it will probably
work fine, with or without a
smoke chamber. Just remember
that your fireplace depth should
n’t exceed half its height, and the
higher the top of the fireplace
from the hearth, the shallower
your depth should be. To the aver
age eye, a big fireplace looks more
symmetrical if it’s deep; but if it
looks symmetrical, it won’t draw.
That’s the trouble with the fire

Club. It looks fine, but sometimes

unit are humming away, flipping
out pages of data that’ll tell all
about how, when, who what and
why, auto accidents happened in

a glance where enforcement should
be stepped up and who should be
stepped on.
