P ' y; J .. . ] THE FIGHTING SPIRIT There ih a very significant thought , in the Htory of m perilous udveniure related bv . a sportsman Who had re- j * turned from a lishinn expedition In! the Canadian lake region. "I was up in the north woods at nty catnp. 1 took a canoe and portaged It over to a small bass lake in the * > woods about a mile. 1 was fishing in about fifteen feet of water, some hundreds feet from shore. Suddenly ?I don't know how over she went I felt myself going down for miles, if seemed. Then I came tip to see the canoe well away from me. [ "The first thought that flashed in to my mind was. 'And I can't switni a stroke!" Hut I had hardly thought of that before 1 yelled at mlself: "I must swim; I will swim!" And' in-, stlnetively I thrashed my way slowly toward shore and the end of a ; fallen tree trunk stretching out from the bank."How I got there I'll never know, but 1 bung to the trunk and finally climbed along it to shore and safety. I honestly bejleve that If It had not been for my angry, desperate determination to swim, even though 1 had never swum before, I Should have been drowned." | Were it not for cruel, even terrify- j ing crises, in our lVveB, few of us would ever know' the strength we possess. As we look hack pn them j we wonder how we ever survlveo?| yet the snme apparently superhumflti nnwu. thnl ?... uvin,iu/l tltan i is ours still. | I Doctors especially are aware of the' tremendous Influence a patient's j : mental attitude has toward the;' chances of recovery front illness or! 1 injury. TTte'spirit of "I will live!" cr < "I don't care what happens." has j i saved or lost myriads of human be-, ings In desperate physical straits, t "I will succeed'" or'"There is no ! use fighting against, the inevitable."

MORE DANGER OF FIRE IN WINTER 1A graph prepared by the National Hoard cf Fire Underwriters shows that lire losses usually Increase a' an alarming rate from September to December. "The reason for this is obvious." states the Hoard. "People start their stoves and furnaces a> soon as coqJ , weather arrives; in many cases neglecting to check ove< their heating plants. As a result there Is an epidemic of serious fires from defective eonlnment." Soot-loaded chimneys tire a major hazard. It 1r Important to check up on chimneys for cracks and holes, and to clean the fines every year. Flue linings are essential for safety. Also. sagging. rusted smoke pipes eause trouble. Sparks may fly out and start a fire. Don't take this chance! 5 , Another cfitisc is overheated stoves and turno ?s the result of poor maintenance and faulty operation. If you d?n'i get as much wanhth as you should, the heater is probably out of order. Never "force" the lire In cold weather. Keep your heating' plant clean and in gcod repair. Use metal containers for hot ashes. for safety's suke check your healing equipment now. before real # cold weather sets in.

It haa been truthfully *aid that man'* best friend it hi* dog. I have alway* loved dogs, they are so loyal and so understand-' ing. We have had five dogs during Ing pur stay in the Best Town in the State, and everyone has met a tragic death. First, there was little "Snubby", the thoroughbred fox ten rier that was given to us by a friend in Charlotte. He was killed right In front of my eye* hy a model T Ford In front of our house on Piedmont Avenue. Then next there was beautiful "Jip" a georgeoua Eskimo Spits. He, took a stroll from home one lovely sunshinny day and never returned to be loved by his master and mistresses. 'We found him by the railroad tracks poisoned. Number three *as "Sandy." a mixture of Shepierd and German Polics. He became lick and died at the home of a riend . who was trying to cur* him of lis illness. To replace our loss this rieno, t. w. urirrin, Mm u? m cjic M^ii^n-in .yfrign mm, quickly named "Snubby.' This little t'.llow wai as livtly and smart as my dog could bs. But Snubby- mat iia death because some, car driver lid not take time to save, his life. He was killed by scar going at least ,0 miles per hour within the city limits of the Best Town In The State knd for number five and the last of 'My Doga" was "Lady*, a friendly intelligent combination of Collie and Serman Police. She was on her way aack home after a Sunday afternoon iaunt when a big bus going entirely too fast, crushed her to death. So aere ends the story of "My Dogs." I ove dogs; they are man's best friend .... but I do not know whether I want another dog- or not. f . ' . " . ' Pretty Sight: The School Band ail iressed up in their new uniforms.

' Briefly, the experience revealed I that although CIO organizers were permitted to electioneer on the sidelines, and even coerce the wives of employees, members of the Club (the employers) were forbidden by the labor act and the l^ahor Board to even answer question about the election when asked by the 'confused workers. That would have been "coercion."
