NATIONAL FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
This week in the schools of Caldwell the
children are making posters illustrating fire
prevention in the home and on the premises,
in the forests and everywhere else, for that
matter. Are you one of those people who
carelessly tosses cigarettes to the winds? Do
you throw lighted matches into waste
baskets— or smoke in bed—or clean
garments at home with gasoline or naptha?
Ail of these seemingly innocent acts can
hinder the War Effort and delay Victory
for our country. Keep these things in mind
they will help to prevent home fires:
1. Hot ashes must never be put in wooden
boxes or barrels ¡use metal containers for
this purpose and set it far enough away from
the house to keep it from becoming a metal
fire hazard.
2. Don't pour water on buring fat; use
baking soda, earth, sand or metal cover.
3. Put oily cloths into a metal box or a can
with a cover; keep oily mops in the open air.
4. Use nothing but non-inflamable fluids.
5. Keep all plastics away from the heat;
do not use plastic ash trays.
6. Have chimneys and flues cleaned
annualy. Protect woodwork and other inflam-
able parts near the surface with insulation.
7. Continuously caution the childrenabout
the danger of playing with matches.
8. Do not put kerosene on live coals.
If the publishing of these facts in this
week's NEWS should be instrumental in pre-
venting just one fire . . . the time and effort
«pent would be justifiable.
o
NATIONAL NEWSPAPER WEEK
the final purpose of VICTORIOUS PEACE
in mind. It has promoted this week-by-week
Americanism until it has become an ideal for
all of us. It has done this willingly, gladly,
enthusiastically—with pens sharpened by
the realization that America is today one ot
the few countries where this is still possible
voluntarily. Americans have caught on. They
are behind the effort wholeheartedly—they
have bought bonds, they have collected scrap,
they have accepted rationing cheerfully and
willingly in most instances; they have given
up peacetime activities for wartime jobs;
they have given their children to their coun-
try's service. Behind them, serving with
them with greater strength and force than
ever before . . . keeping them in the paths of
Americanism and Victory . . . IS THE NEWS
PAPER.
A CHALLENGE TO THE PEOPLE OF
CALDWELL & BURLESON COUNTY
This week, too, is National Newspaper
Week. Your local newspaper has a real job in
wartime—fighting on the home front as real
and deadly enemies as are met on the battle-
field. It wages a weekly war against them .
. . some visible evils . . . others invisible and
more insidious because uneseen. It fights self
iahness, avarice, indolence, complacency -
with ideas, information, education in the
democratic way of living. In World War II it
has taken a stronger and more important
place than ever. It has backed every war ef-
fort 100 percent in editorials, news reports,
advertisements. It has gone all-out for vic-
tory by encouraging local efforts to conform
to the adjustments necessary to wartime liv-
ing. It has done a big job in educating the
public to the importance of sharing, working,
giving, and coordinating all attempts with
HINTS TO THE TAXPAYER
The tax department of the City ot Cald-
well is doing a splendid job in keeping the
taxes collected in this city both for city
property and for the schools. The ration ot
collected current taxes each year hits around
91 percent and the delinquent taxes which
are collected run the total tax collected to
more than 100 percent. Last year the amount
collected was .104 percent.
On the first day of this month the city
started collecting 1948 taxes. The citizens
have until February 1, 1914, to pay their
city taxes without being subject to penalty.
Here are seven things a taxpayer should do
in order to protect himself and to assist the
city in collection of taxes:
1. Check your tax statement carefully to
see that the property has been described
correctly and that no mistake has been made
in making up your statement.
2. Pay taxes the convenient way—by
mail. You can send in your check, money or-
der or cashier's check and your taxes will be
marked paid and a receipt returned to you.
3. Do not wait until the last day to pay
your taxes. This makes it hard on you and
at the same time piles up work on city offi-
cials.
4. If you make a change in address, noti-
fy the city tax department immediately. Do
this also if there is a change in property
ownership made.
5. Render your properties in person be-
tween January 1 and April 1 in order that the
tax department may be sure to have your
correct mailing address.
6. Remember that the Assessor-Collector
of taxes has no authority to remit penalty
and interest imposed by law. No discount is
allowed in city taxes.
7. Preserve your tax receipts. Check
them over periodically and if in doubt about
certain receipts, request a complete state-
ment from the tax department. This may
save you added interest and disappointment
later.
8. Make checks payable to City of Cald-
well, Caldwell, Texas.
It will be well for every taxpayer to keep
the above hints in mind. Get ready to pay
your taxes now and not wait until the last
week in January. The best way to take care
of taxes is to pay them before Christmas.
FIRST BAPTIST CRURCH
N. A. Woods, pastor
"The best reformers the world
has ever had are those who have
commenced upon themselves." I'm
sure each one of us needs to take
heed to the above quotation as we
face a world morally unbalanced.
"First cast the beam out of thine
own eye and then thou shall see
dearly to pull the mote out of thy
brother's eye," are the words of
Jesus. However, a just apprecia-
tion of our own faults does not re-
> i
lieve- us of the responsibility for
the welfare of the society in which
we live. "Ye are the light of the
world, a city that is set upon a
hill cannot be hid; neither do men
light a candle and put it under a
bushel." The time has come for
every Christian to have moral con-
victions and speak and live those
convictions!
We covet every member for ev-
ry service next Sunday. The Bur-
leson-Lee Baptist Association
meets with the Caldwell Church
Monday evening, October 11, at
7 p.m. Every Baptist is urged to
be present and the public is invit-
ed. The work of God should have
its rightful place. Be there!

PROVIDENCE CHURCH
By E. E. Carrington, pastor
Our services for last Sunday
were well att nded. We have some
great people who arc assisting in
a very noble way with the Lord's
work at this place.
We are having the largest even-
ing congregations this church has
had within th • knowledge of the
present generation. Seems that the
folks have heard there is some-
thing doing over here and they
come to see what's it all about
There were about a dozen people
whom I had never seen here be-
fore. People from Caldwell, Bryan,
Snook, Lone Oak, Cook's Point and
many from our own neighborhood.
For next Sunday evening we plan
to follow up a custom of ours.
For the nearest Sunday to Octo-
ber 12, we dedicate one service to
the memory of my departed wife.
The Lord carried her away to the
Heavenly Home ten years ago. the
12th. Am not to elaborate upon
her life—but merely try to say that
which will be of interest to Heav
enly Pilgrims today—that will be
doing what 1 knew she would have
me do. For this service we are to
have special music by Mrs. Ryan,
one of the sweet :-st singers of
sacred songs. If you come early,
you may find a seat, and we will
be looking for you.
