In a nutshell, the lien law calls for repayment of all old age assist ance funds, received by an individual through a welfare grant, providing the recipient is owner of property. The repayment to be made upon set1 tlement of the recipient's estate. To our way of thinking this is a good law, and one which should be retained upon the statute books so long as welfare grants are continued. No doubt, there may be some pres sure on the next General Assembly to repeal this law, but that pressure, if applied, should be resisted. According to the News & Observer, reports from over the state reveal that some recipients of Old Age As sistance are resentful of the law, and some are confused; their reactions be ing something like this: "We have been led to believe that old age as sistance is a right" or 'Ve have been led to believe it is a pension. In our opinion both lines of thought are entirely wrong, and correction should be made in cases where re cipients are of this opinion. Old Age Assistance, we believe, was establjsn ed as part of the Social Security pro gram to provide partial care for the aged who were without means of sup port; not for individuals with Pperty iotiM efficient to provide the UC iCll.' ' " 1 .. .. 1 necessities of the individual. , . Somewhere along the line Jt ap pears, the welfare progratn went off oTa tangent; and with the federal government apparently attempting to convince everybody it was the hom of plenty and the individual had only to look to Washington for subsistence the whole thing got fouled up to a point where the public came to be lieve old age assistance grants were a right or a pension. ' .. . . We don't know whose job it is to rr.t. the thinking, but it should be done. Our nation grew strong and great upon the assumption that each individual had opportunities to work and prosper and by personal effort could look to a happy old age with means to provide the necessities of life. There should be a return to this way of thinking because the apparent at titude of today, that "the government owes everybody a living" is false, and we believe that this lien law will be a means to that end. Prevent Fires In Hertford If your little boy or girl cornea home from school this week and tells you that the family home is a fire-trap stop, look and listen, for he is doing his best to help observe annual Fire Prevention Week, which this , year runs from October 7th through the 13th. : Parents are urged to give their homes a careful inspection, vpith the view to eliminating all possible fire hazards. Some of these include worn or frayed electric wires, accumulations of paper and rubbish in attics and cellars and the storing of oiled cloths in closets "or cabinets. Faulty chim neys or flues are also well known causes of fires, as well as open, fire places, which are left unscreened. Hundreds of thousands of dwellings are destroyed every year by fire and experts assert that most of these loss es could have been prevented. The same observation applies to industrial fires and particularly to forest fires. An official of the Department of Agriculture estimates that a fire oc curs on a farm somewhere in the United States every fifteen minutes, destroying houses, barns, equipment and crops. Eighty-five out of every hundred of these result from care lessness or thoughtlessness and could he avoided. To prevent these fires, it is neces sary for all of us to be impressed with the great loss which can be avoided by the exercise of reasonable care. It ; is more than common-sense today to prevent fires, in view of the strenuous effort being exerted by our nation in defense lasrainst war. Every Americir understands the danger of fire and it is high time for all of us to put into . practice the methods of protection and prevention that are well known. small groups.' Interior colors will be varied, selected according . to ex posure and other factors. ' : . The gymnasium, which will serve as a multi-purpose building, will have movable seats so that it can be used as a chapel, auditorium or theatre as well as a gymnasium.' This building also will contain four classrooms, and the lobby will have space to display handicraft made at the prisons . In addition to office space, the ad ministration building will have class rooms and a visitors' room. Instead of the usual long counters with benches on each side, the new visitors' room will include furniture groupings that will enable up to tour visitors at a time to sit apart with the inmate they visit ;:; '-- "i). At present, there are several dif ferent heating systems for the pris on buildings. The new central heat ing plant will handle all heating re quirements for the existing structures, the new construction and the future construction.

Bulletin Discusses ; Sale Of Livestock The North Carolina Experiment Station announces publication of Bul letin No. 376. "Livestock Marketing Practices' of North Carolina farm ers.".;. . : The report was prepared by Walter P. Cotton, associate professor of ag ricultural economics., It is 68; pages in length and contains several pages of tables and a number of charts. Sale of livestock, says Cotton, has not represented -a major' source of farm income in North Carolina. : Live stock and livestock products, not In cluding dairy products, poultry, and eggs, represented only 4.0 per cent of total cash farm income in 1930 and only 7.3 per cent in 1949. It is esti mated, says Cotton, that four-fifths of the State's supply of meats sold through grocery stores , and restau rants comes from outside North Caro line,.; - V ' WINS 4-H HONORS -Jessie Lee Norman, a member of the Negro 4-H Club of Perquimans Train ing School, Winfall, won district hon ors of first place at Bricks' Rural Life This is, of course, not a one-week out of the year obligation.

The expansion program, which will cost over a half-million dollars, is the first in the country to be planned with consideration being given to all the factors from a nation-wide study of prison construction, operational methods and new developments in in mate rehabilitation. . It is part of the $1,120,500 Improve ment program launched by Governor Scott and Highway Chairman Henry W. Jordan and now being steered tol ward reality by Prisons Chief Walter Anderson. - Preliminary plans for the expansion program at Women's Prison in Ra leigh have been approved by the State Highway and Public Works Commis sion. The. architects Holloway, Weber and Reeves of Raleigh now are preparing working drawings for the project's construction. The architects' master plan - in cludes buildings to be erected in the current phase of construction and structures to be added in the future. In drafting the over-all plan, they worked closely with the Federal Bur eau of Prisons to take advantage of latest developments in prison con struction. All of the new buildings will be of fireproof construction with brick ex teriors. They are being designed to avoid looking like a prison. Windows will be of a new detention type with out grilles, bars or other treatment normally associated with prisons.-. - ; Included in the list, of buildings for immediate construction are two, honor cottages, a combination gymnasium-chapel, an administration building and a central heating plant Future plans call for a cannery, an industry building, a hospital, a din ing hall and new inmate quarters.
