Really it wasn’t his fault. Somehow in tying out about 30 different bundles of the News, the end of the list on Route 1 were stack ed in the wrong pile and took an incorrect journey. At any time you do not re ceive a paper on the usual day or you cannot find something it that you think should be in it, please call the editor. This staff is only human and we do make errors by the thousands. Sometimes there are good reasons for things not getting in the paper but at other times, it may be overlooked so re mind us please. Kiwanis Meet Andy Parks and Sam Worth ington of the State Fire Mar shall’s Office gave a Fire Safety Demonstration, “Opera tion Stop Fire” at the Kiwanis meeting on Friday. Fires need fuel, heat and air to burn and also they must vaporize, there fore it is simpler and cheaper to stop fires before they get a start than it is to put them out. One of the most dangerous things today is overloading of circuits. In the demonstration, a 15 amp. fuse was replaced with a 30 amp. because the 15 amp. kept blowing. Because this safety warning was ignored, a fire was started in the attic of the little house with an overloaded circuit. Another dangerous act is to throw a pressure can on a gar bage dump and then burn it. It could explode and spray glass or other dangerous particles over a large area. Don’t burn a pressure can, bury it. Guests for the day were Mrs. Virginia Boger, Key Clubbers, Anthony Smith and Henry Sams. An important announcement made by S. J. Tankersley was that the Flint EMC was pre senting 'the city of Reynolds a check for $250 on the street sweeper and another $250 on the garbage truck because no addi tional cleaning was necessary for the annual meeting this year. The program next week will feature Mr. L. D. Cannon from the Warm Springs Foundation brought to the meeting by Mr. and Mrs. George A. Goddard.
