The library is opening and closing an hour earlier than during the summer months. CHAPEL PROGRAMS AT HIGH SCHOOL The chapel program .at Highlands school every Friday morning has for the past several years been an important part of the school work. These exercises, given in the schsol auditorium and lasting about 30 minutes, are attended by the entire school and by many of the patrons from time to time, who are always welcome. The teachers take turns in getting up the pro gram which are both educational and entertaining. Each program is preceded by a short devotional period, led part of the time by one of the local ministers.; Prof. O. F. Summer, principal, says "the school has found that the children are more interested in their school work after having had an opportunity to present a public program; that the stage ex perience which they gain is worth much to them in everyday life, and that quite often the programs are prepared almost entirely by the pupils themselves, the teachers act ing in a supervisory capacity." Patriotic themes are worked in with these exercises at various times during the school year. Another long established custom is beginning of the school day in each room with a devotional pro gram lasting 1.5 or ,20 minutes. A number of years ago the school purchased a Bible for each class room, and it is the plan to put a .small United States flag in each room in the very near future. This year the school will stress patno tism and appreciation ,of the things Which America offers its citizens, Mr. Summer further states that "the school is endeavoring to put into practice those things which will be for the betterment of the town and community. The teach ers find principal always welcome suggestions and ideas . from . the patrons of the school, as many worthwhile ideas have comein this manner in the past, and it is felt particularly at this time that the community and (school should work closely together."

Fred Bryson, county forest warden. Only 14 of the 647 fires were caused by lightning, while 633 were man-caused and could ' have been prevented. , These 633 man-causes fires cost the state and counties of Western North Carolina thousands of dol lars in damage in timber, to say nothing of the effect that fires have no soil erosion, flood control, and the natural beauty of the for ests. Brush burning fires were re sponsible for 172 of the forest fires, or in other words 172 fires were caused through carelessness or bad judgment in burning brush, sedge and various other forms of debris. Already, with the first signs A Fall, the grasses in the forests are dying and the foliage is losing its glossy green color and beginning to fall. Therefore, the floor of the forest will soon be covered with a layer of dead and highly inflam mable material subject again to the risk of more man-caused forests fires. ; Ciitizens of Macon county can render valuable assistance to their county, state and forest warden organization in bringing about a decrease in the losses from forest fires, Mr. Bryson said. Here are a few oi the ways in which they can help: ' 1. Don't toss a lighted cigarette or match out of your .car. If you do so, your cigarette and match might land in inflammable materr ials causing a disastrous fire. 2. While hunting, be sure that your match and cigarette are fully extinguished before you throw them away. Also be sure that, when your pipe is emptued, the contents are completely extinguished. 3. In building warming and camp ing fires, be sure that you have complied with the state laws. To build such a fire, the state law re quires that you clear away all in flammable and combustible material for a space of 10 feet surrounding the place where such fire is kind led and that the fire fully extin guished before leaving. 4. Before burning debris of any kind, secure a burning permit from your county forest warden ' or one of his authorized representative. The. state laws provide a fine of not more than $50 or imprisonment for not more than 30 days for vio lating of this regulation. Burning permits can be secured from Coun ty Forest Warden Bryson at Franklin and the following district wardens : U. S. Forest Ranger, Franklin : Project Superintendent, CCC Camp F-23, Otto; CCC Camp F-10, Aquone ; J. D. Burnette, Scaly and Robert Ramsey, Tellioo. 5. After securing your burning permit, notify your adjoining land owner that you intend to do such burning. 6. Maintain careful competent watch over your fire and never leave your fire until it is com pletely out 7. Never burn near the woods or where fire can reach the woods when conditions are dangerously dry. Severin Going Great 4 rr-Sf w ! - j Carolina will be trying for the comeback trail Saturday at Winston-Salem when the Tar Heels meet Davidson's scrapping Wild cats, and leading the way will prob ably be Paul Severin First 6 Months Safety Lessons By HOCUTT With several thousand men at work on North Carolina highways this fall, the Highway Safety Di vision this week called the atteni tion of all Tar Heel motorists to some of the dangers incident to highway ' construction and main tenance jobs. The repairing of highways danv aged by the recent floods, together with the normal construction and maintenance activity, will result in an' unusual volume of work on state highways this fall, Hocutt said, and this will mean that mo torists will need to be more alert than usual. In the first place, all this high way work will necessitate thous ands of men being at work daily on the same highways over which hundreds of thousands of motor vehicles will be operating. And un less motorists employ courtesy, caution and commonsense and slow down when they see a flagman or a "Men Working" sign, some of these highway workers may be killed or injured, the safety direc tor stated. But highway construction and maintenance work does not present hazards to the workmen alone, he pointed out, for there are certain dangers .incident to this work which will confront the motorist. Drivers on the road at night sho.uld De aiert tor warning signs ana flares marking the approach - to road construction and repair pro jects, and particularly the approach to temporary wooden bridges where new bridges' are under construction or old ones are being widened. A driver who . is going too fast and is not watching the roadway closely could easily smash into a barricade at such a point and have a serious smash-up. . "The state does all it- can by putting up warning signs and set ting out flares for the protection not only of its workmen but also of the traveling public," said Di rector Hocutt. "It is squarely up to the motorists of this state to heed these warning devices." The State Forest Service Laws are going to be enforced. Those failing to comply With these laws are going to be prosecuted. We hope that through your coopera tion this will not be necessary. LEGAL ADVERTISING NOTICE OF PUBLICATION North Carolina.
