Wiring Systems
Need Attention
"An electrical wiring system is
no better than its poorest part."
says M. L. Snipes, County Agent
for the State College Extension
Service. "A new extension, 4in
outlet, switch or light--any of
these,, if installed amateurishly,
can make a safe, wiring system |
dangerous."
The National Safety Council rec_ I
; ommends that electrical wiring
extensions as well us the original
1 wiring system be inspected by ai
'qualified person. When used;
safely, electricity brings happiness!
| to the entire family and helps take|
I the backache out of routine farm
j Shores.
Even the best wiring system
. leeds- a little attention now and
then. Outside, you should check
frequently for broken insulators,
frayed insulation, and loose or
, sagging wires that may contact
trees or other obstructions.
Inside buildings, watch for loose
oatlets or switches, loose clamps
?)t - junction, damag d insulation
or worn fixtures. Appliance cords
need frequent attention. When
I defective, discard or ^repair them
! immediately.
| When a fuse "blows", something
. is wrong?too much load on the
circuit or a short circuit some
where. Locate and remove the
source of the trouble before insert
ing a new fuse and then be sufte
to use the proper size.'
There is too much power packed
into electric wires to gamble with.
. Don't delay repair?it may cost
a life. Even for minor repairs you
should be sure the current has
been turned off before work be
gins.
When you purchase electrical
i appliances, look for the "UL" label
signifying that the equipment has
been tested and approved by the
Underwriters Laboratory.
LOOKING THEM OVER
IN JACKSON
By Sgt. Davfc Calhoun j
A very pretty day_j*olled around
last week for the Armistice Day
Parade,-* football game, and other
social functions of the evening.
There was a large crowd lining the
streets of Sylva for the Parade and
j large attendance at the football
game between Syiva Central High
school and Mars Hill High school,
vvith Sylva fighting thru to another
A'in. It is the opinion of your cor
respondent, however, that there
should-have-been a much larger
participation in the "marching
end" of the parade by Jackson
County Ex-Servicemen of World
War II. Corporal Harold Seago, U.
S. Air Force, and Sergeant Harvey
Powell, U. S. Army, gave us a hand
in t^e parade.
Corporal Harold Seago, formerly
of Speedwell enlisted in the U. S.
Air Force one year ago. At pres
sent he is assigned to the Air Po
lice Squadron, 316th Air Bas^.
Group, at Greenville, S. C. Air
Force Base. Sergeant Harvey Pow
ell, of Sylva, and the 5th Infantry
Division in Fort Jackson, S. C.f has
been present in Sylva for several
weeks, recuperating from an emer.
gency operation performed while
he was home on week-end. pass.
