Hertford Fire
Department Team
Up For Clean-Up
.This Spring, before your
man's fancy has a chance to
turn to other things, practice
"togetherness" by teaming up
with him for some vigorous
clean-up activity in and around
your house.
This advice to local
homemakers comes from Fire
Chief Nixon as Hertford
prepares to launch its annual
Spring Clean-Up campaign with
improved fire safety as the
goal.
Quoting figures compiled by
the National Fire Protection
Association, Chief Nixon notes
that in the United States alone
some 6,500 lives are lost in home
fires annually. These, fires
damage or destroy more than
half a million houses each year.
"Right now, before the lure of
the golf course or boat club
. takes over with the coming of
warmer weather, take time to
rid your property of ac
cumulated clutter and rub
bish," urges the Chief.
Indoors, concentrate on the
attic, basement and closets -those
out-of-sight, out-of-mind
places where "treasures" no
one will ever want or need
again could give fire a place to
start. Outdoors, eliminate fire's
breeding place by cleaning out
dried brush,, dead grass, old
papers and other litter left in
Winter's wake. ; ; . . i :V.",
"Spring Clean-Up activities,
conscientiously carried out, will
help raise the level of fire safety
throughout the community - in
homes, businesses, schools and
churches, industrial plants,
open land, everywhere," Chief
Nixon emphasizes. Cooperating
with the Fire Department in
this year's all-out clean-up
effort will be: Chamber of
Commerce, merchants, in
dustry, service and civic clubs.

N.C. Boat
Owners Warned
North Carolina boat owners
are warned to avoid being
misled by an unofficial boat
registration offer which is
currently being circulated
through the mail by a private
organization.
The North Carolina Wildlife
Resources Commission issued
the warning today after
receiving notification from the
U.S. Coast Guard.
"Many boat owners across
the country have received of
fers to 'register' their boats for
a fee that may be as much as
$5," said Ed Jenkins, water
safety coordinator for the
Wildlife Commission. "My
understanding is that these
offers arrive on very official
looking paper, and many people
.have been fooled into sending
"money.
"However, the organization
soliciting these registrations by
mail is not an official agency of
either the federal government or
the State of North Carolina, and
the registration is worthless as
far as the law is concerned,"
added Jenkins.
Legal boat registration for
North Carolina boat owners is a
function of the N.C. Wildlife
Resources Commission, and no
other agency or organization
has official jurisdiction to
register or number boats in
North Carolina.

Assembly, provides for a $150
million bond issue subject to a
vote by the people in the May 6

respect to the bond program.
The clean water bond
program would be divided in
this manner: $75 million for
pollution control: $70 million for
water supply systems and $5
million for a contingency ac
count and not more than $1.5
million of the $5 million would
be used for administrative
purposes.

abatement of pollution resulting
in clean water, on the basis of
population and need.
Voters are expected to look
with favor on the referendum

come from the sale of bonds. A
favorable vote will mean better
health and better living con
