THAT’S RIC^H! li^^r Published Every Thursday at Raeford, N. C. Smbscription Rates.4.- $2.00 per year in advance PAUL DICKSON Editor and publisher Entered as second-class mail matter at the post office at Raeford, N. C., under the Act of March 3, 1870. Water - Fun or Peril One moment’s failure to remember—and practice—a few b^gir rules while in swimming may snuft out a Ufe and plim- ge a family into mourning. With the 1947 swmumng season just beginning, now is the time for parents to review a few rules of water safety and impress them strongly upon the young swimmers of their families. Let the following rules be the Ten Conunandments of Swimming; Never swim alone. Never swim in unguarded water. Kpow the bottom of the pool or lake before you dive. Don’t be a show-off or a practical joker. Know your limitations as a swimmer and don’t take unnecessary- chahceS. Don’t swim for at least an hour after a meal or when overly tired. Pay strict attention to all warning signs at beaches and pools. Don’t attempt a rescue unless you are a- strong swimmer, or if you can reach the victim- with boat, rope or pole. Don’t stay in the water too long. Sprint toward the shore, not away from it. Follow these basic rules of water safety and you will stand a better chance of seeing the end of an enjoyable summer roll around. And lastly, learn the fundamentals of life saving. Maybe sonae day you can help someone who is in trouble in the water. 0 Fire Prevention And The Community A National Contributor's Column By Rich Fowlei (Copyright 1947, Rich Powler, Not Inc., Chicago) ORIGMAli CONTEIBUTIONS PAID FOR on acceptance, at our established rate.

An old cane fishln’ pole I had With bohber bright and red— To sit and wacth, - With a willow crotch Behind nay laay hea^ . For many an. hour I’d sit and stare At the bobber bright and gay— ' While a dragcn-fly Buzzed idly by ’Gainst my swaying line to iday.

American communities must bear niuch of the blame for our soaring toll of deaths and property destruction by fire. According to A. Bruce Bielaski, executive director of the- President’s Conference on Fire Prevention, less than 2,000 of the more than 16,000 municipalities in the United States have building codes. Most of the exsting laws are more than 15 years old. On top of that a great many fire departments are badly equipp^ and undermanned, ^nd are not organized to give firemen adequate training. Here are some of the reasons why the toll of fire has reach ed record proportions, and is still increasing. Last March, for examplie; losses reached a new monthly high of almost $72,- 500,000—36 per cent above ^he same month in 1946. AA(f fire’s death toll is running in excess of 10,000 lives annually. Diunng the war, much substandard construction was nec essary, and fire fighting equipment was extremely scarce and often conapletely unobtainable. That’’alibi no longer valid. Communities can and must adopt building co^es which will assure maximum protection against fire—even as they can and must modernize their fire departments and train members properly. The fact that the majority of pur muni ciplities have no building codes at all is disgraceful and in excusable. ♦ " We can reduce fire losses by at least 75 per cent—if we have the will to do it.
