HUNTING MAY BE
DANGEROUS
The hunting season will soon pre
sent its annual toll of dead hunters
as the sportsmen take their guns and
stalk the elusive quarry.
It might not be amiss to urge all
hunters to be cautious in their handl
ing of firearms in the discharge of
their' weapons at what they think is
game and in generally maintaining
an attitude of the highest prudence
in connection with hunting.
Many children in the United States
will take up the sport this Fall for
the first time. Older persons, assum
ing responsibility for their guidance
?should not overlook the necessity
of teaching them the proper method
of handling firearms. A little time,
devoted to this task, may save a hu
man being who is worth more to yon
than the game that the woods and
fields offer to you as a sportsman.
RAILROADS BUYING
The railroads of the country have
ordered $125,000,000 worth of new
equipment in the last sixty days, ac
cording to Jesse H. Jones, Federal
Loan Administrator, who asserts that
the carriers will be able to meet any
emergency demand.
The RFC has been offering money
to railroads for equipment loans at
interest rates of about three per cent
but the railroads have been able to
better the rate in the money market.
If the loan market hardens the car
riers can get funds from die RFC
for equipment on liberal terms.
The people of the nation cannot
overestimate the importance of the
railroad systems that serve the na
tion. We are not going to start an
argument about trains and trucks be
cause each has a place in the econo
mic life of the United States. It is
important, however, to keep our great
transportation system up-to-date even
if the government has to advance
some of the money. - .
Clean Chimneys Will
Prevent Farm Fires
Winter is approaching and soon the
rural family will find use for its heat
ing system, whether it be a furnace,
a stove, or an open fireplace.
Each of these types of heating
plants has a chimney, and right now
is the best time to clean that chim
ney and check it for cracks which
might cause disastrous fixes, advises
Prof. David S. Weaver, Extension
agricultural engineer of State Col
lege. "Of course, if a stove pipe is
the only outletjTor smoke, there is all
the more reason to take precautions
because this type of equipment is usu
ally a greater fire hasard," he added.
Prof. Weaver pointed out that
stopped-up chimneys will cause
sparks to poor bade into a room and
set fire to furnishings? fad often are
the cause of spontaneous combustion.
Also, chimneys buQt on wooden sup
parts or boBt out of cheap mortar or
soft bricks axe likely to crack. Sparks
go through the cracks to the wood
or other inflammable material, and a
-a* _ ? ?s , ^ , J
lire is started.
"Rural families need to take extra
precautions,'' said Prof. Weaver, "be
cause they do not have the benefit
of trained fiiw-fighters found in the
cities, nor do they usually have the
fight a fire.

Old-Timers Rewarded
By GRANVILLE TILGHMAN
Twenty-eight men and five wopsen,
who have served the David Pender
Grocery Company for 20 years or
more, were honored last week at a
gala banquet in the City Auditorium
that was attended by about 1,500 of
the organization's employes from
both Virginia and North Carolina and
guests, and which was believed to
be the largest event of its kind ever
held in the city.
Preceded by a long parade of Pen
der employes down Granby street,
the dinner furnished a colorful setting
to the tributes that officials and exe
cutives of the company paid to the
men and women whose long services
had contributed extensively to its out
standing history. All available floor
space at the auditorium was taken
up for tables, and Negro employes of
the company were seated at other
long banquet tables stretching down
the corridor on the second floor of
the old City Hall offices.
One hrjndred and fifteen waiters
were required to serve the guests.
They were directed by two head
waiters, and over them were four su
pervisors. Two serving stations were
necessary in the auditorium, each
equipped with an oven and curtained
off from the crowd. More than 20,- .
000 pieces of tableware were placed
and removed, and the dinners were
"piping hot" filet mignon, potatoes
1 au gratin, green garden peas, with 11
? celery, olives and coffee. N. W. Ob- I
I erndorfer, of the Town Club, was I
I caterer for the dinner.

brought to its highest efficiency in
defense in order to meet any situa
tion which may present itself."

Nazis Ban Tobacco
Washington, Oct 4.?Senator Jo
siah JBailey said he had been advised
that the German government had
placed tobacco on the list of contra
band articles. The senior North Ca
rolina Senator did not manifest any
great surprise at this act
"We already know that Germany
will sink any boat?we know she
has evton sunk empty ones," he said.
Senator Bailey said he. was still
expecting some official information
regarding the prospect of getting the
Imperial Tobacco Company back into
the flue-cured markets when the
markets reopen. He made it clear,
however, that he did not expect any
such information until after the
referendum held yesterday.
Neither Senator Bailey nor Sena
tor Reynolds would comment on the
issue of whether the imposition of a
marketing quota of 650,000,000 lbs.
should be supported by tobacco grow
ers' votes. Both stated that matter
was one for the farmers and not the
politicians to decide.
