Agent Lists
Rules for Fire
Prevention

Farm fire losses amounted to
approximately $95,0O0,0O0 in the
United States last year." County
Agent G. L. Hales reminded Kinds
county farmers, in calling atten-
ton to Fire Prevention week, set
this year for October 8-14.
"Over one-fourth of the nations
total fire loss last year from all
causes occurred on FARMS" Hales
continued. Every Is minutes there
is a farm fire somewhere in the
United States which destroys
valuable livestock, crops, equip
ment or buildings, or worse, kills
/, or mains humans
In a proclamation designating
Fire Prevention Week, President
Roosevelt stated: II earnestly re-
quest every citizen to devote spe-
cial thought and effort during Fire
Prevention Week to detecting and
eliminating fire hazards within his
own control and to providing ade-
quate protection against the waste
of our fighting power through de-
struction by fire"
Farmers are urged to correct
defective chimneys and flues, con-
slider the danger of sparks light
ing on flammable wooden roofs
and the equipment that protects
buildings from lightning. Accord
ing to Hales, farmers should
watch for spontaneous ignition
careless handling of matches ano
cigarettes, careless use of gasoline
and kerosene, defective and i'm
properly installed stoves and fur,
naces. and faulty wiring and mis-
use of electricity.
All farm implements should bt
stored in a dry place away from
poultry andl livestock. Check i'm
plements and give oil coating Il
brightly worn surfaces.
MAKE a list of needed repair
parts and place orders for part
and new machines" Hales said.

Engineers Repair
Bonhed-Out
French Fields

With u. S. Forces In France -
A contingent of Negro Aviation
Engineers has arrived in France
with the mission of getting bombed
out airfields back into shape for
use by heavy bombers of the army
air forces.
+ One of the units was the first
Negro ENGINEER aviation battalion
to land in Great Britain. 1t came
overeas in September, 1912, and
began work on the first airdrome
ever completely built by Negro
aviation engineers.
The headquarters and service
company of the regiment to which
it is assigned has also arrived, and
other battalions will follow. This
is the regiment with the famed
army chorus" which sang in Lon

Farm Income
Under Sept. '43

Current estimates place total
cash receipts for September at l.
$50 million dollars as compared
with 1857 million dollars in Au-
gust and 1885 million dollars in
September, 1913. A gain of about
"a per cent over August in receipts
from crops is looked for as larger
quantities of most crops are mark
eted in September. Income from
livestock and livestock products is
not expected to show much change
from August, for the seasonal de-
crease in dairy product marketings
is likely to be offset by greater
sales of meat animals.
Cash receipts from farm market
ings for the period January through
September amounted to about 49,
848 million dollars, per cent above
1913, with crops up per cent ano
livestock per cent. The prelimi-
nary estimate of cash receipts fol
August is 1857 million dollars, I
per cent below the income of 1,77s
million dollars in August, 1943, ane
6 per cent above the receipts of l.,
602 million dollars in July, 1914
This was the first time this veal
that monthly cash receipts have
failed to exceed receipts for the
same month in 1913.

eggs and between bites of egg and
bareback, related how he captur-
ed how he captured a German cap
tain.
Willie is a member of a Negro
quartermaster service company, a
non-combat outfit, but in the fast
moving French campaign he and
his mates have had to battle their
share of snipers while loading and
unloading valuable truck cargoes
of food, gasoline, and ammunition
for combat troops.
After the Allied breakthrough in
Normandy, when United States
armies began to get in high gear,
Willie's outfit knew only a "a
hour workday, which gave them no
time to sleep and barely time to
snatch a bite of K rationS on the
run.
So when the boys hit thickly
wooded bivouac area for a breath
er, they set up housekeeping and
started out to barter for some
thing to supplement their K ra-
ton fare.

him and threw it on him before he

cept that he was Jerry. He came
out of the bushes with his hands
behind his head just like any other
Jerry. l took him to the road and
the MP's got him. They told me
he was a German captain"
Willie according to his fellow
soldiers, likes to roam around
and is top man in the outfit for ga
thering up abandoned German
equipment.
Willie's eggs were obtained via
barter system and he and his
friends were having big meal be-
fore moving up and starting to
work again. They were holding
what had been a gasoline truck
head that had moved closer to the
front.
