COLD STOPS
FIRE DRILL
FOR PRESENT

Owing to the fact that the weather
has been extremely cold during the
past few months, there have not been
any fire drills in the public schools
lately.
superintendent c. NJ McDaniels says.
however, that the drills, that were held
during the first few months of the
school year have acquainted the stu
dents with the rules and that they will
know just what to do in case of fire.
The spiral slide in the Central school
building has not been used for the rea-
son that the snow got into it and rust
ed 1t. The rusty slide would destroy
the clothing of the school children. and
it will have to be cleaned out before it
can be used.
The slide is, however. just as efficient
as a life-saver, for the reason that 1t
would make but little difference about
the children's clothes in case lives were
endangered.

Guilty.

Attorney Koontz is another of the
Lake county lawyers who have been
getting in bad of late. Yesterday he
was elected from the office of the coun-
ty sheriff because he, was so insistent
in his effort to induce the prisoner to
employ him as his attorney.
Later in the day when the prisoner,
John Kolonowski. had signified that he
wanted to plead guilty, .Koontz refused
to permit him TO do SO and precipitated
an argument with Prosecuting Attorney
Charles Greenwald, who objected> to
that sort of procedure when. the pris-
oner was ready to plead guilty and
the court is already so crowded with
business that it is hard to get it out of
the way.
