We urge all families to prepare a home life safety plan and rehearse the plan to make certain that everyone, especially children, knows exactly what to do. The first rule of safety from fire is to escape. Get everybody out at the very first sign of fire. But unless you have done some thinking and planning, you may not be able to get out safely. Mere are some pointers to help you: 1. Plan for at least two routes to the outside from every room in the house, especially bedrooms. Allow for blocking of stairways and halls by fire. 2. Keeping doors closed will allow extra escape time because closed doors will hold back flame and smoke. 3. For upper floor escape, a window may be your only alternate route. Use any available roof porch, shed or garage as ways down to safety. If necessary, install a ladder. Locate children in bedrooms with easy rooftop access. 4. Pick an outside assembly point where the family will meet for "roll call," and be sure everyone understands that the house must not be re entered for any purpose. 5. Establish ways to call the fire department from an outside or a neighbor's phone, and do this as quickly as the house is clear of people. Remember, next week is National Fire Prevention Week. Let's do everything possible to avoid fires which will destroy property and lives. Let's observe Fire Prevention Week by being cautious and careful. Let's make Fire Prevention Week a year-long event. Breath-Testing Devices September 1 marked the fifth anniversity of the use of breath-testing devices to remove drunken drivers from the streets and highways of North Carolina. According to State Highway Patrol Commander Edwin C. Guy, "The testing program has been an extremely effective wapon in our efforts to rid our highways of their most dangerous menace the drinking driver." Guy said it was impossible to determine exactly the number of drunken driving convictions resulting directly from the program, but offered the opinion that the number, if available, would be impressive. He said that during the five-year period a total of 123,061 motorists have been charged with drunken driving. Of those, breath tests were administered to 90,818 or 73 per cent. Guy added that August was the 60th consecutive month that patrol personnel had removed more drinking drivers from the streets and higways then were removed during the comparable month of the previous year. During the month, 3,267 drivers were arrested for drunken driving. This represented a 9.5 per cent increase in arrests over August, 1970. This points out that drunken drivers are being arrested but are our courts dealing with these drunken drivers as they should? It does little good to arrest a drunken driver and then turn him free to return to the highways. Our courts should be stricter. k Sign Up For ; U.S. Savings Bonds New Freedom Shares n SUBSCRIPTION RATES OUTSIDE MADISON COUNTY 15 Month, $6 00 12 Month, 5.00 6 Month, 4 00 4 Month, 3.00 lAdd 4 it in North Csrolins) 40c Per Week t Vf International Sunday School Lesson Exodui J: l-,t Timothy 1:M Today our Lesson deals with the call of God to one man... Moses... and through our studies we will be made aware of the highly personal nature of God's call. The use of the words "thee", "thou" and "I" em phasize this facet of Moses' appointed task. God still calls men to His service today, and It is always a highly personal thing. ..a per sonal spirit of motivation. What was Moses' reaction to the revelation that came to him through the burning bush? His words: "Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?" could easily be in terpreted as faintness of heart when he contemplated the enormity of the task God had set for him; or conversely, they could easily be interpreted as a great humility of spirit. In the light of Moses' subsequent service, the latter could easily be the case. But even if Moses became fainthearted, God committed Himself to a heartening promise which must have brought both comfort and assurance to the chosen leader of Israel - "Certainly I WILL BE WITH THEE..." That promise is a continuing one in the affairs of men today. God is ever with us, watching over us, leading us on to ac complish seemingly impossible tasks in His service, and those things that mean progress for mankind. All that man is required to bring to the Lord is concern, an awareness of spirit, and an acceptance of His will. Given these qualities to work with, God can perform won- g ders! Any sincere student of Biblical history will be aware that God often performed g miracles and like phenomena In getting the attention of those who were destined to further the concepts of Christianity in a lost and often alien world. But none can come close to the wonder of that which calls to Christians everywhere... the miracle of the love that prompted the birth, the ministry, and the saving death of Jesus Christ for the grace of Mankind. This con tinues to be the modern day miracle that bids us attune our spirits to receptivity to God's continuing plan for mankind. How do we.. .you and I.. .an swer God's call? Do we answer fearfully (as some would argue Moses did) or do we answer with a deep sense of humility and an awareness of our un worthlness, but strengthened by the promise that we will never be alone in our strivings? In Christ's existence we have an awe-inspiring example of a life dedicated to salvation and service; of a faith and obedience that transcends all earthly and temporal things; of total commitment. We have been exceptionally privileged of God. We have been saved by His all encompassing love at the ex pense of a great and very personal sacrifice on His part., the lifeblood of His only begotten Son! Yes.. .God's plan for mankind continues to be one of salvation. To do our humble best in fur thering that plan, in whatever way we are called upon to serve, is the only possible an swer we can offer Him when He calls upon us to serve Him ! -llfwr. dear, I 4m1 think HH vrry .re mp there. WnM fm mil it I tmUr the roeflwi mntrariar tMMMrawr y.:;- 53 Million In State ATLANTA, G A .-Challenged with growing a whole new Southern forest by the year 2000, North Carolina's forest products industries planted or distributed 53,296,000 seedlings during the 1970-71 tree planting season. Seedlings planted in North Carolina this last season represent 11 per cent of all seedlings planted or distributed for planting by pulp and paper, lumber and plywood companies in the South, according to a survey by the Southern Forest InstiTitfe, Atlanta, Ga. The recently completed survey covered forest in dustries and private forest landowners in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Virginia. Besides wood for more than 5,000 different products, the South 's all-purpose forests supply other benefits too. Trees provide beauty, places for recreation, wildlife habitat, soil erosion control, watershed protection, and trees are essential for a healthful en vironment. Studies show each acre of young, vigorous growing forest produces four tons of wood and converts six tons of carbon dioxide into four tons of oxygen each year, enough oxygen to meet the annual needs of 18 people. Old, over-mature and dying trees, on the other hand, con sume oxygen and compete with other living things for the usable oxygen in the air. Extension News Phone 649-2491 Home Economics 4-H Some general vegetable selection hints worth following The selection of fresh vegetables in many cases is a job for an expert. There is no set rule. Experience is the most reliable guide. There are certain guides, however, that may help you in learning to judge the real value of vegetables. 1. Make your own selection, keeping use in mind when buying. 2. Do not handle un necessarilyvegetables are alive. Rough handling causes spoilage for which the con sumer pays. 3. Do not buy just because the price is low. A "bargain" may not turn out to be a bargain in perishables. 4. Consider vegetables in season in place nearest you prices are usually lowest at this time. 5. See that containers are full and that the product is good throughout. 6. Learn the difference be tween a blemist that affects only appearance and one that affects eating quality. 7. Study the market from newspapers, radio and television.

In North Carolina, 52,998,000 pine seedlings and 297,000 hardwood seedlings were planted last season. Of this total, 50,040,000 little trees were planted on industry-owned land; 3,255,000 seedlings were distributed to private lan downers. 7,088,000 little trees planted in North Carolina last season were genetically superior seedlings. Genetically superior seedlings -often called Supertrees - grow taller, straighter, bigger around and up to 25 per cent faster than ordinary trees. "Trees are one of Nature's few renewable resources," explained Southern Forest Institue Executive Vice President George E. Kelly. "As a matter of fact," he continued, "there are now more trees growing in our Southern forests than anytime in the last 30 to 35 years. But to meet the nation's future wood needs, the South must grow its Third Forest by the year 2000 to replace the Second Forest, which is providing our present timber supply." "Almost 200 million acres of trees are now growing in our part of the country, " Kelly said. "And through wise har vesting and careful regeneration of the trees which are harvested, government, industry and private lan downers - working together -can help assure there will always be enough wood in our all-purpose forests to meet America's future needs," he concluded. Observe these basic tips . Shop at clean, well-kept grocery stores. Run errands first, then shop for groceries don't give frozen foods a chance to defrost. Select refrigerated and frozen foods last before checkout counter Make sure frozen foods are hard-fagsen Make surelrefrigerated foods are cold Don't buy torn or damaged packages even at a so-called savings Don't buy dented cans. A swollen can might contain spoiled food that can cause serious illness Take perishable items home and refrigerate or freeze im mediately Tomato prices seem to be on the increase; therefore, far mers who have late crops and others with tomatoes left on the vine should continue a good spray program to control diseases and insects. Following a regular spray program and doing the other jobs required is the only way a farmer can hope to obtain maximum income per acre.

That means he is allowed towrk for you for less than the legal minumum wage and no tips. Why does he? The Service Station Man sweats year 'round; In winter shoveling, starting, towing; in summer pumping gas for pennies. He delivers and installs air, water and a wtped-off windshield for free. He crosses his fingers while a careless motorist flicks ashes by the gas pump. He crosses his heart when the next carload looks like hopheads who'll rob for a fix and kill if they have to . The Service Station Man. On prices he's trapped between the company and the pirates. The majority overpopulates the in tersection in anticipation of a brighter tomorrow, gets their 2 cents no matter what, while the guy on the pump handle gets squeezed and squeezed: And reamed by part-time grease monkeys who not needed goof off and lose customers one at a time forever : Or misstamp a credit card with an old roller nobody can read and guess who will pay. The Service Station Man gets rained on, shouted at, may be shot at: May work 20 hours on crackers' and pop. And there are four in the driveway when number five can't wait for the restroom key. The Service Station Man. With busted knuckles from a hundred sprung tire irons, he turns the key in the door and he's through for the day-except for that desk-drawer full of paper. Somewhere in that pile is the answer to how much leaked and how much evaporated and of how aiuch sold and make sure out of every 40 cents, 12 is tax, or elafl. And where'U he borrow for tip new tank for the low-lead gas that nobody's sure of but he's got to bet on? And on Seventh Street in Phoenix there's an old nozzle squeezer named Verne Forward who has all those raindrops falling' on him plus the kids from MHT(Mpst Holy Trinity. School). Their bikes on the driveway bell jerk a man from the pit at a nickel a minute for nothing. Those kids take more time and spend less money because, "Dad says he sure to let you put the air in my bike tires because I always blow them up too much." And this always happens when there are two on the rack and four on the drive. And Verne's gone home lots of nights wondering why he can never say no. But he can't and he won't. He found a note on his desk the day after school reconvened ; "Dear Mr. Service Station Man, We have enjoyed drinking from your fountain on hot days. We want you to know we ap preciate it. Thank you very much . Sincerely, Students of Most Holy Trinity. "P.
