Arc Prevents
Because rural families cannot call
out fire trucks just by "breaking the
glass and pulling ' the ; hook," farm
fires usually are more destructive
than those in town. This is reason
enough, says I. C. Yagel, county
agent for the State College Extension
Service, for farm families ito partici
pate in Vire Prevention Week, which
Will be observed during this week.
Mr. Yagel asserted that farm
fires last year cost 100 million dol
lars, killed 3,500 farm residents, and
injured thousands. Through fire, he
continued, one can lose overnight the
profit of years of labor even in one
hour a farmer can find himself finan
cially ruined. Therefore, the agent
said, it is wise to take every precau
tion against fire.
National Safety Council records
show that most farm fires are due to
eight preventable causes: Defective
chimneys, sparks on combustible
roofs, inadequate lightning protec
tion, carelessness with matches, spon
taneous ignition, improper use of
gasoline and kerosene, unsafe stoves
and furnace installations, and misuse
of electricity and appliances.
The first step in farm fire preven
tion, suggested the Extension Agent,
is the development of a fire safety
consciousness and determination to
work and live safely. When every
member of the farm family recognizes
hazards find unsafe practices, correc
tive measures can be taken.
Mr. Yagel emphasized that Fire
Prevention Week is a good time for
farm people to eliminate fire hazards
in three important areas:
1. In the dwelling, by providing
metal containers for ashes, storing
matches out of reach of children, and
avoiding use of gasoline or kerosene
in starting fires.
' 2. "v -.On the farmstead, by making
roofs fire-resistant, equipping build
ings with lightning rods properly in
stalled, discarding worn extension
cords, and storing gasoline at least 75
feet from other buildings.
.3. In the barn, by checking hay
mows for signs of heating, prohibiting
smoking in or near the bam, and stor
ing tractor or truck away from the
barn. .

Members' of the Hertford Volunteer
Fire .Department met Wednesday
night at the town municipal plant.
The meeting1 was .. presided over by
Fire Chief V. N. Darden.
C. F. Sumner, tendered his resigna
tion as captain of Company One, and
W. B. Tucker also resigned as cap
tain of Company Two. 1 These men
have served in this capacity for over
20 years with outstanding service.
They resigned in order that younger
men may fill these positions, with
Herbert Nixon and H. ,C. Sullivan be
ing elected to fill the vacancies. Both
rot . these men have several years of
fire fighting -experience.
' The present strength of the fire de
partment consists of 21 men and it
was decided to add four men, which
"will make a total of 25 active fight
ers. Since the department, now has
two trucks and a portable Chrysler
marine pump, it was decided that
Number One Company would answer
all out-of-town fire calls with Num
ber Two-Company acting in a stand
by capacity, for local emergencies.
These companies will alternate at
three month intervals. ' ,
The department will hold monthly
meetings for fire drills and instruc
tion on the use of the fire fighting
equipment. Regular fire drills and
inspections will' be conducted through
out all schools in Perquimans County.
Fire Chief Darden requested that
local residents refrain from calling
the town plant for information as to
where the fire is. This prohibits the
local firemen from securing directions
and location of the fire. Chief Dar
den has also requested that local fire
followers keep off the streets with
thir cars, as this prevents the firemen

The similarity between Abraham
and those Whom we like to call our
"Pilgrim Fathers" is .striking. Like
Abraham, our Puritan ancestors left
their homes and their native land for
conscience sake and sailed over a
dangerous ocean to a strange land in
order that they might enjoys freedom
of worship. The first thing their' did
when they landed was to kneel down
and offer a prayer of ; gratitude to
God for their safety. Our country
was founded on the faith of these
pilgrims, who came to these shores,
not to find gold, but to find God.
