COTTON GINNED PRIOR TO
SEPTEMBER 16 IN SOUTH
CAROLINA: CROPS OF
1938 AND 1937.
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.

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.

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.
"There’s too much inactive
money,” the editorial says. “There
has been postponement of buying
clothing, furniture, floor covering,
draperies, electrical conveniences
•f various kinds—as well as
mumberless other large and small
Items. *
“Construction of new homes, or
remodeling of old ones, has been
put off. . . •

Detroit, Mich., Sept. 25.—Chev
rolet’s service and mechanical de
partment and its engineering
staff joined hands this week in
what is said to be the largest
training assignment in the auto
motive industry —the schooling of
the entire Chevrolet wholesale
organization, the service managers
of some 10,000 Chevrolet dealer
ships from coast to coast, and the
operators of about 1,000 large car
and truck fleets, in the servicing
of the new 1939 Chevrolet, to be
announced a few weeks hence.
The huge operation has been
organized by Eld Hedner, national
director of the service. Its suc
cessive stages will proceed on
clocklike schedule. It will begin
with the schooling of nine regional
product representatives, already in
Detroit for their course, and will

gazes with approval—and what
discriminating Southern gentle
man wouldn’t—upon his great-
granddaughter, Miss Eloise Hamp

tered the University of South
Carolina at Columbia this autumn.
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.

to their respective field posts and
conduct the same sort of courses
for the whole Chevrolet field
wholesale organization. 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.
