THE JACKSON HERALD, JEFFERSON, GEORGIA
Fire Prevention For Farm
Homes
(By Miss Elsie Bowman)
Eight causes of Ore in homes are
responsible for 85 percent of the fire
losses in farm dwellings. They are:
Defective chmineys and flues;
sparks on combustible roofs; light
ning; spontaneous combustion; care-
less use matches and smoking;
careless use of kerosene and gaso
line; defective and improperly in
stalled stoves and furnaces; faulty
wiring and wrong use of electric ap
pliances.
Going through the house room by
room, some of the points to note arc:
In the living room: Is the radio
antenna grounded? Metal ash trays
for smokers? A metal waste-basket?
A fireplace screen?
In the kitchen: Is the coal or
wood range not set away from the
wall, on a metal mat extending a
foot in front of it? Is the wall be
hind it and the nearby woodwork
protected by metal? Does the
stovepipe fit snugly into the chminey
flue? Does it pass through a parti
tion? If this is necessary, is the
partition protected by a double met
al “thimble”? Where is the kero
sene or gasoline stored if either is
used for cooking? Where are the
matches kept? Where are burnt
matches put?
In the bedrooms: Chief fire dang
ers are from cigarettes and matches,
electric heaters and curling irons,
and other such electric appliances.
If kerosene lamps or candlesticks
are used, they should have wide
bases and guarded flames.
In the basement: The furnace
room should be as nearly fireproof as
possible. The furnace should rest
on a concrete or brick foundation
set away from the walls and at least
18 inches from any woodwork. Ceil
ing joists should be protected with
asbestos above' the furnace. Pipes
and joints should be tight. The
chimney should start the season
clean of soot. Hot ashes belong in
metal containers. Rubbish should
not be allowed to accumulate in a
basement but should be disposed of
regularly.
In closets, attics, and storerooms:
Electric cords should not be hung
over nails or sharp edges that may
wear through the insulation. An
open light, such as a candle or a
kerosene lamp, should never be car
ried into a closet. Using a flash
light is a better practice. The attic
gets hot in summer and should be
regularly ventilated. Material liable
to spontaneous combustion should
not be stored there and forgotten.
Space should be left around the
chimney. Articles stored too near
may some day catch fire from a de
fective chimney.
Family habits likely to start fires
should be analyzed and corrected.
For example, using kerosene to start
the kitchen fire; leaving an electric
iron attached to the source of current
when called to the telephone; put
ting oily or paint-soaked rags care
lessly in the cellar instead of in
closed metal containers.

NOTES FROM THE NATIONAL
CAPITOL
(By E. B. Betts)
Hon. John Nance Garner, Vice-
President of the United States of
America, was seventy years of age
on November 22, 1938. He has been
a power on Capitol Hill since March
4, 1903, when he was first elected to
Congress from the 15th District of
Texas, in the Democratic State
Primary in 1902. He went hunting
on November 23, at Uvalde, Texas,
deer hunting. Not finding any
deers, he contented himself by
shooting wild ducks. He brought
the ducks to his home at Uvalde, i
Texas, on November 23, and had a
Thanksgiving dinner on November
24, with friends. The Vice-Presi
dent is a fine man, and a Jefferson
ian Democrat of the first brand, and
very popular in the Political Arena
of America, with Democrats and Re
publicans in the 48 States of the
Union. May he have many more
happy birthdays like November 24,
1938.
tt t T
Congressman Thomas J. O’Brien,
who served here six years in Con
gress, from the Sixth District of
Illinois, left here on November 23,
for Chicago, Cook County, Illinois,
to assume the office of Sheriff of
Cook County December 1. He was
nominated in the Democratic Illi
nois primary on April 12, 1938, by
two hundred and eighty thousand
majority, to take effect in December.
He was elected November 8, 1938,
by a large majority over his Republi
can opponent. The new Sheriff of
Cook County, Illinois, will have
seven hundred deputies under him
to enforce the laws of Chicago,
Illinois, and Cook County. Sheriff
O’Brien is a Democrat, and a fine
man. His many friends, Democrats
and Republicans, will miss him on
Capitol Hill, but wish him success
in his new field of labor for the next
four years.
I was sorry, indeed, to read of the
death of Hon. John B. Hardman,
State Senator of the Thirty-Third
District, composed of Jackson,
Banks and Hall counties, whose
home was at Commerce, Jackson
County, Georgia, the Empire State
of the South. He was a great and
good man. May he rest in peace
with the Great Chief Justice of the
Universe, who doeth all things well.

A CITIZEN’S RESPONSIBILITY
TO THE COMMUNITY
The nation’s “First Lady,” Mrs.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, was a visitor
in Atlanta last week, und spoke to
the Women’s Democratic Club of
Georgia.
The First Lady’s subject was “Th*
Citizen’s Responsibility to the Com
munity,” und she spoke before a
packed ballroom at the Henry Grady
and and an overflow audience in
another assembly room by means of
loudspeakers.
Mrs. Roosevelt urged housing as
one of the leading points to be stu
died by every citizen of every com
munity. She said:
“Housing has a very definite ef
fect on the type of citizens of the
community. Those in the poorer
section are a burden to the city.
town or county. It is those that
must be developed and studied to bo
raised to an equal level of the living
conditions set by any given com
munity. How people live has a very
important bearing on the kind of
community we wish to have.
“Sanitary conditions in a com
munity is another important point
which citizens should know thor
oughly,” she continued.” Do yoo
know whose business it is to have
your water supply kept up to the
standard of good living conditions?
Do you know who is in charge of
the disposal of the waste in your
community? What about the health
inspectors? Find out who these
people ’e ior knowledge of sani
tary conditions.”
WAYCROSS A CITY OF ROSES
For a number of years Thomas
ville has been known as the City of
Roses, and it had no rival in the
growing of these beautiful flowers.
During the rose season every avail
able spot of ground was a scene of
beauty, and people from many
states gathered there to enjoy the
“Rose Show.”
But now, Waycross citizens are
turning their attention to growing
roses.
This south Georgia city, which
now boasts the largest municipal
garden in the United States, has
chosen to advertise its attractions
via the language of flowers. Tour
ists find roses by the thousands beau
tifying the town. Those who jour
ney by train traverse a mile-long
garden along a railroad right of way,
while motorists are greeted by flow
ering bushes wherever they turn.
Tourists are encouraged to stop over
and inspect the masses of blooms,
with the result that many a person
who had never heard of Waycross
now recognizes the city as a south
ern beauty spot.
The beautification drive was
launched four years ago by the Park
and Tree Commission and the Rose
Society of Waycross. Now church
es, clubs and other civic bodies have
joined the movement, and federal
aid has been enlisted in an ambiti
ous park program. The city is grip
ped by a veritable rose-planting
fever, one project alone calling for
two thousand bushes to be set out on
the Courthouse and hospital grounds.
MAYSVILLE WOMAN’S CLUB
