Canton Passes
Law To Avert*
Icebox Deaths
/ i
An ordinance prohibiting the
abandoning of old ice Hoxes and
refrigerators in suoh a way that
children can get into them has1
been passed by Canton's board of
aldermen.
"Chasing" Are engines also was
discussed by the aldermen, who
gave orders that an ordinance al
ready on the books must be en
forced to prevent the publie's
hampering the operations of Are
men.
The ordinance dealing with the
disposal of ice boxes and refriger
ators was passed to prevent in
cidents which occurred in several
cities this summer when children,
while playing, locked themselves
in abandoned refrigerators and
suffocated to death.
The board acted upon another
mile of water line on north side of
river which interfered with black
topping of Thickety road.
6. Opened one street (Morgan
Street).
7. Assumed a third of the cost
in laying another sewer line ($200).
8. Installed two sections of 6
foot tile in constructing a bridge in
the Happy Hollow section ? tile
alone costing $400.
A little over a year ago the
water used for all purposes in the
Town of Clyde came from Connor's
Branch and had to have the usual
chemical treatment, but now the
town has two deep wells. One of
these wells is 224 feet deep and
the other is 249V? feet deep. All
except 32 feet in each well is
through solid blue granite. These
two wells produce about 60,000
gallons of pure water every 24
hours. Both wells are equipped
with the submersible type pump
which rests near the bottom of
well and forces the water to a 50,
000 gallon reservoir tank by thrust
action of the impellers in pumps.
Because these pumps are auto
matically controlled by a mercury
switch activated by pressure
changes in reservoir it enables the
town to have a practically full res
ervoir at all times.
The entire cost of these wells in
cluding equipment, drilling, instal
lation and placing in servicable
condition amounted to $8,100.
The Town of Clyde now boasts a
new fire department. The fire truck
is small, but well equipped, with
most everything necessary to fight
any average size fire.. It carries 160
gallons of water with a maximum
pressure of 185 pounds, fire ex
tinguishers, fog nozzles as well as
straight ones, and is equipped with
tliree sizes of hose.
Three fires have been extin
guished within the past two months
with this apparatus, using only wat
er carried on the truck. The found
ation for a new fire station to
house the above equipment is be
ing poured and will probably be
completed within another week.
This building will have been paid
for as have other things mentioned
In this article, and the town's cur
rent expenses will be met on time
as usual, and the good and true
citiaenry of a small, but wonderful
little American town, nestled in
the foot-hills of the Great Smoky
Mountains of western North Caro
lina will carry-on by planning and
dreaming of bettering this little
town.

both Florida and Louisiana. Seventeen were reported hurt in Woodville alone. (International Soundplioto)

Game Protecttor Arthur Biondi
did. and he says it is quite a chore.
Biondi was called to the United
Presbyterian Church after the
frightened wife of a custodian tele
phoned headquarters to report that
there was a deer in the basement.
The deer had broken through a
window and was trying to get out.
The game protector lassoed the
deer. Volunteers helped1 him hoist
the 100-pound animal to freedom.
Then the lasso was untied and the
deer ran right down Main Street
and into the woods.
safety measu^ at the meeting
yesterday, that of trimming hedge
rows or shrubbery which create a
blinding effect for traveling. Along
some of the streets and sidewalks
shrubbery has grown over the
edges, obstructing the view of
drivers, and pedestrians making it
dangerous for both. Property own
ers are asked to remove such
growth, and cooperate in every
way possible to reduce accidents
and remove possible hazards.

Keeps its value better
than any other car!
Used car dealers report that
Fords return more of their origiijal ^ . .
cost than any other car?
and there are 41 reasons why;
Take power. Ford's two high-compression engines are real
leaders in their class. Ford's the only car in the low-price field to offer
you the smooth power of a V-8 engine. And no other car in any field
has so modern a Six.
Take build. Ford's Crestmark body gives
you style-setting beauty with rugged "build" under
neath. Where many cars are bolted Fords are welded
hull-tight to keep out rust-causing weather and dirt.
Take ride. Ford's wonderful, new ride
reduces front end road shock up to 80%. New
spring and shock absorber action gives you the
easy ride you want without gas-eating extra weight.
Take savings, Ford's Automatic Power
Pilot saves on every gajlon of gas. It automatically
adjusts carburetion, ignition and combustion to
make every drop of gas work its heart out. j

FORD
WORTH MORE WHEN YOU BUY IT .TI
VORTII MORE WHEN YOU SELL IT!
F.D.A.r.1
Take drives. Only Ford in its field gives
you a choice of a completely automatic drive,
Fordomatic, the finest, most versatile automatic
you can buy ... fuel-saving Overdrive ... or
easy-shifting Conventional Dri ve.'
Take visibility. Ford gives you the
''all-around" view you need in today's fast-moving
traffic. A curved one-piece windshield, car-wide
rear window and large "picture windows" all
around make sure you have Full-Circle visibility.
