At this moment a tall, fair young

directly to the spot where Lee, her
mother and Redfield were standing.

me to tell you that he needs a doctor.

BOYS AID TO FIREMEN
Chief Towey, of Newark, Tells What
They Can Do.

| How boys may be of assistance to
the firemen was explained by Batal-
ion Chief Towey, of Newark. at a
meeting of Boy Scouts in the Y. M.
G. A. at Newark. Among the sug-
gestions made by Chief Towey were:
Know where the nearest fire-box is
To send in an alarm, turn the key,
open the door and pull the hook once
Stay at the box until the apparatus
comes.
If several scouts are together,pick-
ct the corners and save the firemen
from coming even as far as the box.
The firemen always go right to the
box unless otherwise directed.
Never pull the box and then go
away, leaving the firemen to find out
for themselves where the fire is.
Always keep fire confined to one
room if possible by closing windows
and doors tight, thus preventing
drafts.
To enter smoky passage or room
always crawl on hands and knees,
keeping head low. The atmosphere
closest to the floor is most free from
smoke.
To carry an unconscious person
from the building use the 'firemen's
lift" Every scout knows this carry.
1t leaves one hand free while holding
the unconscious person securely.
To extinguish the fire in the clothe.
of person always use a blanket, rug
or similar article and smother the
flame. Be sure the person does not
inhale the flame. as such an accident
would probably prove fatal.
Try and prevent fires. Do not
leave loose matches around. If a
match is accidentally dropped, pick
it up and put it in tho proper place
When leaving the house for the
summer, close the doors of every
room.
If the fire ordinance is not being
lived up to, notify the bureau of com
bustibles.
If fire-escapes are situated directly
over an inflammable shed, or il
matches in grocery stores are exposel
on shelves without metal protective
boxes, that bureau wants to know

NOW READY FOR ACTION
Resolute's Committee to Make Rec.
ommendation.


ommendation.
Chairman David r. Williamson and
the other members of the committee
of Resolute Hook and Ladder COM
pany having in hand the purchase of
an automobile fire truck, Wilbur F.
Day, jr., Fred Shelley, Foreman e.
Harold Pavie and Assistant Foreman
Arthur Mills, expect to be ready to
make a recommendation in the matte
within two weeks.
The company has received several
bids for the new machine which is
expected to cost in the neighborhood
of $4,000. AS soon as the COM
mittee goes over the bids it will rec
ommend to the board of engineers the
awarding of the contract, who, in
turn, will take the matter up with the
fire committee of the board of alder
men. The board has already author
lied the purchase of another piece of
automobile fire apparatus and it only
remains to get the most advantageous
terms. The bids received guarantee
the delivery of the machine within
two, three or four months of the
signing of the contract, respectively
Just what will be done with the
present hook and ladder truck has
not yet been decided. The present
machine weighs about 1000 pounds
too much for two horses to pull In
Morristown. 1t was lightened recent
ly by substituting the truss ladders
for the old-style ladders, making a
difference of 500 pounds in its weight
The present equipment may be used
on the new machine and then it may
be hung on the walls of the truck
house for use in emergencies. In
case of two alarms when the truck
is at one fire and stripped it could
return to the truck house, load the
extra equipment and go to the other
fire, or, in cases of large fires the
extra equipment would be useful.
The companys S red wagon, used
for answering still alarms, will be
sold. 1t is expected that at least
$3.50 could be received for the appara
tus. 1t is equipped with eight fire
extinguishers and hooks, ladders, axe
etc. The wagon was the property oi
the company but it has been main
tanned, repaired and equipped by the
town so it is nice question to whom
it belongs

Firemen Want Election Changed.

Firemen Want Election Changed.
Morristown firemen are agitating
the holding of the elections of the Of
ficers of the various companies in De-
cember instead of in August as at
present. 1t will require revision of
the town charter to make the change.
1t is asserted that the towns Of
ficials take office on January list and
if any change is made by the board
of aldermen in the personnel of the
board of engineers the change is ef-
fective the first of the year.
With the fire department elections
in August and confirmed the follow
ing month by the board of aldermen
it sometimes makes it necessary for
the chiefs of the department to be-
come acquainted with an entirely diff
ferent set of men within few
months. Another argument for the
change is that it is hard to get the
volunteers to attend meetings during
the summer
