Friday, December 6, 1935 Checking on Fire Hazards (' >1(1 weather always provides a test for defective flues and chimneys, and develops the careless spots around the homes and offices. It seems to be characteristic of people generally to sleep soundly in close range to dangerous and hazard ous fire traps, and they never so much as think about them until smokes begins to stifle them or the fire be gin.- to roar. Then we can easily remember the old broken flue or cracked chimney and furnace that we have passed so often without giving it a thought. Perhaps one of the most dangerous fire traps to be found i- the decayed shingle roof which is always ex posed to falling sparks. A diligent inspection of ev ery building in a community would pay a handsome dividend in saving property, as well as making life much safer. When we consider that accidental loss of life by fire—that is, the burning alive of men, women, and children—is second in number only to the automo bile, it should behoove us to look well into the fire hazards around our home and use greater care in the handling of fire. A Very Selfish Attitude The fish dealers along the Carolina coast who bought si me of the finest fish that swim in the seas last year from the fishermen at from 1-2.to 1 cent p r pound are now kicking because the fisher'es cooperatives are now paying the same fishermen for the same kind of i sh from 1 to 2 cents |>er pound more than thro were j paid last year. The method practiced in the past was for a trucker from Central North Carolina to drive to the coast and when the fisherman came in from the ocean or sound, tired, hungry and sleepy, the trucker would offer a price almost equal to nothing. That being the only market for the fisherman too poor to run his own truck, the trucker would buy a ton of fish for $10 to $20. carry them through the state and sell them for MOO anti be back again the next day to repeat the operation. Now that the man who does the hard work—the man who catches the fish—is enabled to double his price and get a reasonable return, the truck dealer is complaining because his profit has been cut. This is a vSry selfish attitude, and constitutes a position that needs no special sympathy so long as the men who catch the fish and the men who eat the fish get fair play. Our Greed tor Pleasure The people of America may be able to take care of their needs for many years, and possibly for many centuries; on other other hand, it seems certain that we will never be able to supply our wants. The fact is that there is a limit to our actual needs, j for when we have the required amount of food to keep : us healths- and sufficient clothing to keep us comfort- I able and a home to shelter us, we have the limit of ! our actual needs. We find many families which have j these blessings are happy and content. These are per- j haps the happiest people to be found. On the other hand, the wants of man can never be i supplied. It has been shown too often that the more ! a man gets the more he wants, and he often gets so anxious for more of the things he wants but does not need that he will stake all the things he actually needs for the things he wants, and then he loses all. If the world ever goes off in as big a tangent for pleasure as we Americans, we may expect to see civ ilization go into a state of collapse. Our greed for too much pleasure is our is greatest danger. It has broken former civilizations. ADMINISTRATOR’S NOTICE Having qualified as administratrix nt the estate of J. T. Spruill, de ceased, late of Washington County.
