I [ike u>eme O N AN ordinary Saturday after noon one of my good neigh bors set out to fix himself a bologna and cheese sandwich. Nothing un usual about that, since he is fond of both bologna and cheese. A bit out of the ordinary, tho, were the things which prevented him from getting his sandwich. The principal reason was that he couldn’t get the refrigerator door open to get the ingredients he needed. The handle was wedged tight. Another reason was that he lost his appetite. He remembered that he was supposed to be baby sitting and he hadn’t seen Junior in 30 minutes. He made a frienzied dash through every room, but Junior was not in sight. He put two and two togeth er and came up with a terrifying thought. Junior was in the refrig erator! That’s why it wouldn’t open. He’d read about kids getting into things and pulling the doors shut. He pulled. The handle wouldn’t budge. He tried a broom handle for leverage. It broke, after bend ing the door handle considerably without opening the door. He re membered the crowbar in the base ment. He flew down the steps, grabbed the tool, then dashed back to the kitchen. There, with the refrigerator door wide open, making themselves a bologna sandwich were mother and Junior. What had happened: Junior wedged three pennies under the door handle, that’s why it wouldn’t open and why he hid in the closet. Mother, since she had experiencer’ the same thing before, took a haii pin and got out the pennies. And they used the last two pieces ot bologna in making their sand wiches.

Reduction in the number of woods fires has made it possible for limited forest fire fighting forces in the state to hold area losses during 1953 to less than one- third of the 230,000 acres of wood land that burned in 1950. Interven ing years. also showed a cor responding reduction in area burn ed as number of fires was reduced. The costly custom of burning the other man’s woods intention ally continued to lead the list Of causes and accounted for 38% of the forest fires in South Caro- lina in 1953. Careless smokers ac counted for 25%, and brush burn ers 21% of the illegal fires. “Fewer fires mean more people are concerned about fire preven tion. They are realizing that even the average woods fire Is destruc tive, despite the apparent healing of fire-scarred woodlands in the spring time. They know that little trees sprouting in the fall, winter, and spring are killed even by quiet slow burning fires creeping S. W. Earl Turner Dies In Hartsville; Interment Is Here S. W.
