toastmaster, was staged by the Elk
in Kiwanis club at Hotel Elkin Fri

to carefully inspect' flues, chimneys
and heating equipment in the in
terest of safety.
Hundreds of disastrous fires have
started from faulty chimneys and
heating equipment, Mr. Whitaker
said, and after a summer of disuse
many chimneys and flues are more
than likely in need of repair. To
check on this important matter now
may result in the saving of thousands
of dollars in property.
Mr. Whitaker also pointed out
that all paper and other trash of an
inflammable nature should be re
moved from basements or other
places where junk and trash might
accumulate.

Attorney Fred Folger, of Mount
Airy, Democratic candidate for the

of the Roosevelt program and that
he is waging his campaign for elec
tion without making any promises
of any radical legislative program
if he is sent to Raleigh by the Sur
ry-Stokes voters.
Mr. Folger comes from a family
which boasts of a long line of law
yers and is the son of former state
Senator John H. Folger, prominent
member of the Surry bar, -c former
member of the general assembly and
a member of the present state school

Although business conditions in
North Carolina have greatly benefit

provement, Candidate Folger states
that he still believes strict economy
should be the watch word. He is
intensely interested in the operation
of the public schools in this state
and it is expected he will push the
interests of the schools, particularly
the rural schools, if elected.
