TRANSEAU
DISASTROUS "TWIS
TER" WRECKS WOOD
HOME AT WOODVTLLE
FRIDAY: Of the hundreds
of Sunday visitors who
viewed the ruins of Wtllace
Wood's home after a tor
nado demolished it last
Friday evening, many were
heard ot repeat over and
over again, "I don't see how
anyone came out of that
house alive." Following a
blustery day, tie blast
struck at 1:55 p.m., wfcEe
Mrs. Wood was prtparicg
supper in the kitchen annex
and while Mr. Wood was
listening to the radio m the
sitting room. Their grand
daughter, fifteen month old
Pauline Wood, was in the
kitchen with Mrs. Wood.
How any one of the three
escaped death from falling
timbers and tumbling pieces
of household furniture is still
mystery. ISrs. Wood suf
fered a gash in the forehead
and little Pauline was
burned subtly about the
less. All three suffered
minor lacerations and
bruises. With the-aid of
three passersby, Wilse
Bateman with his son Ken
neth, and Rufus Jeans, Mr.
Wood and the Batemans and
Jeans, extinguished the fire
and Mrs. Wood and the child
were sped to the home of Dr.
W.A.! Horgard, half a

For A Fire Chief
TO THE EDITOR:
Enclosed is a poem written for and about Jimmy Chappell
of Belvidere. He is the founder and Chief of the Belvidere
Chappell Hill Volunteer Fire Department.
'
Dedicated to Chief, Jimmy Chappell of the Belvidere
Chappell Hill Volunteer Fire Department...in loving ap
preciation for his devotion, strength and courage. May God
be with him in his efforts to protect and defend his com
munity against the evil and merciless forces of an unpredic
table enemy. Citizens, be proud, and support him and his
men as they battle so desperately to maintain your safety!
LITTLE COWBOYS
He was just a little boy of two, busy at play,
8ut, he can still remember what happened that day.
He had no toy guns, he used a stick instead.
For a cowboy hat, he wore a bucket on his head.
He was fighting the Indians that were all about,
With a make believe gun, and a little boy shout.
Imagine this scene, it was several years past
(Before modern society began moving so fast). -Over
a fire in the yard was an old black wash pot,
Filled with water that was boiling hot.
And the cowboy shooting Indians had killed about three,
Before his "hat" slipped down, and he couldn't see.
Head first, into the hot liquid he goes
Both arms badly burned, up past his elbows !
Luckily, the bucket had stayed in place,
And his too big "hat" had saved his face.
He faced long years of hospitals and waitin'
For skin grafting scars and fingers he can't straighten.
But, with a will power that only a few have known,
He faced the hardships and now he's grown.
Today he's a fireman a volunteer,
Chief of the department in Belvidere.
He fought the Indians now he fights fire !
With deep dedication, and a genuine desire
He risks his life and gives his all,
To answer a neighbor's desperate call.
Not for reward, and not for pay...
But for little cowboys busy at play. (Anonymous Author)

Pharm&cicto likened
to basketball heroes
In some respects the
pharmacist is like the bas
ketball player who plays
the whole game unno
ticed, but who scores a
last second goal ' that
wins the game.
It only takes a second,
but perhaps the most .
important obligation that
a pharmacist naa to his
"team" of health officials
is to insure a correct, safe
prescription. We are the
last ones on your health
team to take a "shot" at
catching a possible error
in your medicine. So. like
the basketball player, your
Sharmacist stands ready
"score" when yon need
the points!
It is an awesome re
sponsibility, day in and
day out But 24-hours a
day, we stand ready to
serve you instantly.

If you really want to save energy and keep your bills down start with the

whether your home uses gas, oil or

you save, the more you can save on
your heating costs. . ..
Begin by puttingyour finger on 5.

Make sure you have plenty of insulation. Six inches meetings and three
inches in floors and walls are the minimum you should have-nine inches in
ceilings and six inches under floors are desirable. (If you are planning to build

washing machine and dishwasher. When you're doing the laundry, use cold
water to do the job whenever possible. And to save even more, take a quick
shower instead of a tub bath. Surprisingly enough. youU use a lot less water.
Also, fix those leaky hot water faucets. One drop per secoikd adds tip to
200 gallons a month. And that's a of hot water and money dew the drain.
