C HAMILTON Ckmsoo CoDete Extenskm Informatioa Specialist The most common cause of home fires which occur aniwiaiiy with the onset of cold weather can be traced to heating system failure. F. H. Hedden, Clemson exten sion agricultural engineer, says many of tragic nighttime fires could be prevented by an •ntmai maintenance check and by prac ticing common sense safety. "Heating system failure nor mally occurs on the coldest days (or nighto) when the system is overtaxed. The loss of heat at such times may cause discom fort but is usually not fatal in itself. However, there is some danger in heating system failure, especially if it occurs at night when the family is asleep."

Presbyterian College Coach CaHy Gash — Reports — — FOB — fires is a good heating system in spection now. "Rusting out of the metal stove or furnace pipe which runs from the heating unit to the chimney is a common cause of fires. “Clogged flues, usually filled with carbon, are another frequent cause. The failure to insulate floors and walls close to space heaters can also be hazardous, especially if the heater is over heated," Hedden continued. Asbestos board is a material which gives good insulating ser vice. If space heaters are nearer than four feet from the wall, as bestos would lessen the danger of fire. Hedden says a check should also be made to see that the chimney and flues are in good condition. The adoption of improved con struction practices and building codes have reduced the hazard due to chimney failure. One im portant safety feature in most new houses is the use of flue liners made from fire clay. These liners prevent the escape of fire which might otherwise have es caped from cracks in the mason ry of the chimney. Chimney deterioration occurs most frequently from the roof line upwards. Hedden says wea- therng action is the chief cause of this. If there is the slighest suspi cion that a fault is in the chim ney, an immediate inspection should be made. In any event, a routine safety check of the chimney should be made every time the house is reroofed. Even with a relatively new, safe house, a fall safety check will give you some reassurance that unexpected fires won’t oc cur. doesn’t love you as you are, his kind of “love" isn’t de. serving of the name. OIL HOME HEATERS ©dmiMr MO. ©'O’KMSg DEAR SALLY—My sister-in- law asked me to take care of her two little children ages 3 and 5, while she went to the hospital to have her third child, and for "a few days" after her return home. I was very happy to do this, but now those "few days" have risen to three weeks, and it’s been very nerve-wracking for me, espec ially since I have two small children of nay own to take care of. Now, to top this all off, she phoned me today and asked if I would mind caring for her two children two more weeks, while she and my brother take a little vacation trip with their new baby. Don’t you think this is stretching a good thing a little too far? OVERWORKED. DEAR OVERWORKED — I agree, your brother and his wife are attempting to stretch a good thing MORE than a little too far! You’ve certainly done your part in helping dur ing the "emergency” — and now you have a perfect right to take a stand and say "no.” Notice of Sale The State Of South Carolina County of Laurens IN COURT OF COMMON PLEAS Bank of Clinton, Plaintiff, vs. J.

FREE INSPECTION Security Roofing Co. Call Ben Maynard; Simpsonville, S. C. — Phone 943-4213 By Solly Show DEAR SALLY—I am some what concerned about a phase in the life of my son and his wife. They permit their 13- year-old daughter to take ba by-sitting jobs. I think a girl of 13 is quite young for such a responsible job, the care of small children while thier pa rents are away. Do you think it would be all right if I tried to reason with my son and daughter-in-iaw about this, or is it none of my business? GRANNY DEAR GRANNY — The an swer to your final question is yes—it IS none of your busi ness. Certainly, it is evident that your son and his wife con sider their daughter perfectly capable of handling the respon sibility, and the parents who hire her must think a lot of 'her, too. I think you should feel proud of your granddaughter. M. S. BAHIY & SON Bankers Over WLBG-AM-FM Saturdays 12:15 DEAR SALLY — My little problem may seem very silly to you—especially when I tell you it involves the game of bridge. My wife is a very ac complished player, while I have no card sense at all, and in fact don’t care one little bit about the game. However, she is always accepting invitations for us to play at friends’ homes, or inviting friends to play at our home—and these sessions are torture to me. Ac cording to her, I NEVER play the right card, bid right, or make the correct responses to ' my - partner’s bidding. This constant needling is getting me down. I’m really not so stupid as my wife sometimes makes me feel, because I do own a couple of coUege degrees and do fine in a very demanding kind of work. So, what’s the answer? G. B. V. DEAR G. B. V.—First, have thj$ out with your tfife. Tell her that either she stops her public criticism of your bridge playing, or you’ll refuse to take part in any more games with her. Then, too, it’s pos sible that if you did know a^ little more about the game you' might like it more. There are countless books on bridge, and there are even community classes on the subject. It is the most popular card game there is, considered quite a social asset—so maybe your attitude toward it has been working against you. Introducing the tuned car, 1966 Buick.
