Veterans
Disability Pensions
Liberalized

North Carolina veterans of World
War / and II who are unable to fol-
low gainful occupation because
of disability may be entitled to a
pension even though the disability
is not result Of a military service.
The North Carolina Veterans
Commission announced that pen
sion laws for non-service connected
disabilities have been hberalized
thus affording older veterans an op-
portunity to qualify for total disa-
bility despite the fact that the spe-
cific degree of disability may not
be total. Many veterans who have
been denied total disability in the
past are eligible to apply again.
Single veterans whose income an
nually is $1,000 or more, or veter-
ans with dependents whose income
is over $4,000, cannot qualify.
Veterans whose employment is
limited because Of disability
should contact the nearest office of
the North Carolina Veterans Com
mission Immediately Service Of
ficers are familiar with the require
ments to be met and are ready to
assist veterans in making proper
application.
The Commission office serving
Mcdowell county is located at Ster-
ling street in Morganton, N. C.
County Veterans Service Officer is
located in the Courthouse in Mar
ion. Either office will be glad to
assist with claims at anytime.

Cost Of Accidents
Runs Into Millions

More than SO million dollars in
medical, dental, and hospital bills
were paid by farm people during
1949 as a result Of accidents, ac-
cording to H. NJ. Ellis, in charge of
agricultural engineering for the
State College Extension Service.
This cost, Ellis states, does not
include the cost of accidents to
those who were killed, or who suf-
fered permanent total disabilities;
or costs other than those resulting
directly from the care of injuries.
Among the chief causes of the
accidents Ellis listed the following:
Falls, machines, animals, auto and
truck collisions, handling objects,
hand tools, stepping on or striking
against objects, falling and flying
objects, and burns or shocks.
These findings are based on an
analysis of nearly 1000 accidents
reported in three enumerative sur
veys made by the BAE in 1947 and
1948.
Seventy-twe per cent of all ac-
cidents to farm people occurred on
the farm-16 per cent in the farm
home and Sc per cent elsewhere on
the farm. Eleven per cent occurred
on roads or streets off the farm.
The other II per cent included in
dustrial accidents suffered by farm
people who were working in factor
les and accidents of children in
games at school.
Fifty-four per cent Of injuries
were sustained while the victim was
engaged in farm Worl Farm acci-
dents reached a peak in September,
when both farm work and accidents
and recreational accidents were
sharply up. Males had an accident
rate over three times as great as
females, and males in the age group
25 to "a years had the highest rate.
Ellis advises all farmers to check
their homes, farm buildings and
surroundings and remove all acci-
dent hazards possible. He also sug-
gested "taking time instead Of
chances"

IN MEMORY
OF DR.. j. F. JONAS

Few persons will be missed in
Mcdowell county more than DR.. J.
F. Jonas, who passed away few
weeks ago. He was truly friend
of man and especially the poor. DR..
Jonas, thought first Of getting his
patient we'll and collecting the bill
afterwards. In fact, DR.. Jonas new
er bothered much about collecting;
few great men do and DR.. Jonas
was truly a great man in his COM
munity Often he would spend the
night in the homes with his patients,
arising before dawn to make his
way home regardless of the wealth
er.
DR.. Jonas was a real Christian,
although he did not get to attend
church regularly since he was out
helping the sick. If love for ones
brother, honesty and moral inte-
gritty, can win a place in heaven,
DR.. Jonas is occupying an enviab1e
place there today.
The Great Creator has removed
DR.. Jonas from our midst but his
influence has made an imprint that
will last for a long time and the
good he has done will be remember
ed by all until they answer the last
call from above.

165 Forest Fires
In This District
For Past Six Months

During the last six months per-
iod, >first half of 1949, 165 forest
fires occurred in the eight cooper
ating counties in district one of the
N. c. Division Of Forestry. These
fires burned a total of 5.8 acres per
fire. This amounted to loss of
009 per cent of the area under
protection in this district.
In comparison with the same per-
iods for the 1947-48 seasons the
records show that in 1947, 187 fires
occurred which burned 1,798 acres
for an average Of 9.6 acres per fire,
for a loss Of 0.21 per cent Of the
area under protection. In 1948, 173
fires occurred which burned 3,055
acres for an average of 81 acres
per fire, and for a loss of 0.10 per
cent Of the area under protection.
During the last six months period,
of the 165 fires which occurred, II
were caused by campers and hunt
ers, So by debris burners, 46 were
incendiary, II were caused by rail-
roads, 80 by smokers, and were of
a miscellaneous nature. This shows
that 100 per cent of the fires oc-
curing in the district were man
caused and could have bee prevent
ed had proper precautions and
care for the forest been, exercised.
During this period, of the 1865 fires
occurring, the responsible parties
were determined and reprimanded
on 104 or 63.O1 per cent, and law
enforcement action was taken on
rs for 46.1 per cent.
M. u. Marlowe, Of Glenwood,
County Forest Warden of Mcdowell
county, and his organization handl-
ed 20 forest fires during this per-
iod. These fires burned total of
70 acres of privately owned forest
land in Mcdowell county. Respon-
sible parties were determined and
reprimanded on 70 per cent Of the
fires and satisfactory law enforce
ment action taken on SO per cent.
In Mcdowell county there is ap-
proximately 147,000 acres Of pri-
vately owned forest land. The fire
control organization in this county
consists of 13 men; Of these, one is !
towerman who mans Huntsville
tower during the fire seasons, one
is smokechaser who is on tempor-
ary duty when needed, and the
other II men are district wardens
who are located throughout the
county and work when fires occur
in their communities to suppress
them. This organization, during the
past six months, has issued approx
imately 800 brush burning permits.
Two State-owned forest fire
lookout towers are located in this
county, with towerman's cabin at
each location. These, with several
U. S. Forest Service towers, give
adequate detection for the county.
The towers are connected to the To-
cal telephone exchange by 9 miles
of Forest Service owned telephone
lines, and miles of Forest Service
roads permits travel to these sites. |
Necessary fire fighting equipment,
including hand tools; two pickups
with tool boxes; and two-way mo-
bile radio are available when need
ed. These improvements are main
tanned and kept in good repair In
addition to the above, approximate
ly IS fire fighting tools are distri-
buted to district wardens through
out the county.
