Each Saturday the local Lions take time out from their usual duties to work on a Lions Club project. Since October, members have been conducting a pro ject to raise funds to pay for the recently constructed Lions Club Building and to make donations to the White Cane Drive, a Lions Club project which benefits blind citizens. The goal of the firewood project is to raise $1,000 for these causes. To date, local Lions have raised between $800 and $900 as a result of the project. The extremely On The Fire Line By CHIEF CHARLES SKINNER JR. Heat detectors for homes have more or less been replaced by smoke detectors for an early warning system. Heat detectors are usually activated by the heat in a given area when heat builds up to 136F, then a fusible lead link will melt and activate the alarm. By the time this heat builds up, the room or building could already be filled with heated gases and smoke. - The most widely used type of heat detector in the past consisted of a freon type horn that blew until the gas was ex hausted. A sprinkler system works by the same principle of a lead fusbile link melting, allowing the water to flow through the open sprinkler head. Heat detectors (if still used) should be placed in kitchen, utility room, boiler room and similar locations. Bits Of Interest COMPILED By FREDA NELSON cold winter has at least been beneficial to this effort, since local households are ordering the firewood and making the project a success. According to J.T. Biggers, a past president, most of the wood being sold was donated from land belong ing to three local Lions Club members, Jimmy Hunter, Ed Nixon, .and Billy Williams. . " The club is continuing to take orders for firewood. You don't have to retire completely to get social security checks. But if you. expect to work while getting benefits, it's important to know how your earnings will affect your social security checks. If you're under 72 and working and you expect your earnings to be more than $3,000 in 1977, there should be some deduction from your checks. Inform your social security office as soon as you can if you believe that your earnings will go over $3,000 for the year. Remember, if your 1977 earnings are $3,000 or less, no benefits will be withheld because of your work. And even if your earnings are well above $3,000, you may still get some social security checks. The basic rule is that $1 in benefits is withheld for each $2 you earn above $3,000.

According to Donald Madre, president of the Per quimans County Farm v Bureau, a uniform school opening date for all schools in North Carolina would deny the flexibility of openings needed in many counties. Legislation has been in troduced in the General Assembly which would establish an opening date for the beginning of the fall term on the day after Labor Day of each year. Madre pointed out . that high school students are a major source of farm employment, and in late crop years September could be the critical harvest season in many counties. He further said if such legisla tion is passed it would give to the state government decisions that have been traditionally left up to each Cot A Fuse Oownf Kirkland & Tillett Electric Electrical Contracting Phone 335-0130, Elizabeth City ' Night-264-2120 There's Got to Be A Reason?
