Hie National Board of Fire Un derwriters has prepared a special radio program to be used by fire chiefs during Fire Prevention Week, which is to be observed this year between October 15th. Using the style which is so popular in present-day broadcasts, the fire chiefs will ask questions The Department of Commerce, through the Bureau of the Cen sus, announces the preliminary report on cotton ginned prior to September 16, by counties, in South Carolina, for the crops of 1938 and 1937. The total for the State was made public on Friday, September 23. (Quantities are in running bales. Winters are not included.)

It is pointed 5,713 8,764 1,015 7,375 out that this program could also be profitably used as a specia feature for presentation before social, luncheon or civic clubs. The program covers many phases of the fire problem. Ques tions are asked, for example, con- eeming the immensely important subject of heating plants. The fire chiefs then correct and am plify the answers. Hazards of roofs, chimneys, electricity, etc., come in for consideration. The safe handling of inflammable Squids is covered, as is the sub ject of combustible materials. And specific suggestions are made for correcting a number of the common hazards that exist, ' un known to their occupants, in mil lions of American homes. This broadcast idea is but one phase of a comprehensive pro gram designed for Fire Preven tion Week. Plans are more am- bitious than ever before. The cooperation of civic organizations, public officials, insurance com panies, newspapers, radio stations, and others has been obtained. The vital thing is to awake a dor mant public. If that is done, 'the forthcoming week will mark the start of a greater campaign to conquer the fire demon. -xx- Buy Wisely *Buy the things you want and can afford to have.” That is the fhought expressed in a fine edi torial recently in the Mansfield, Ohio, News-Journal.

Miss Oliver climbed upon the president’s chair in the historic hall of the Clariosophic Literary Society at the University, where General Hampton’s portrait hangs, so she could get a better view of her distinguished ancestor—and the cameraman could get a better picture. General ^Hampton was a member of the Clariosophic while a student at the University. He graduated in 1836.

This course will equip Chevrolet with enough fully schooled service men to train the entire dealer organization with speed and thoroughness. This final phase of the program will be handled through the medium of one-day schools in strategic points throughout the territory. Through this “pyramiding” of the school operation—starting with a small and compact group of key individuals, and progressing to larger and larger groups by regular stages, has been worked out in such a manner as to assure completion of the entire service personnel’s training prior to the introduction of the new year’s models.
