| A visitor inspecting the Anderson
fire department quarters 4 month
ago and paying second visit to the
place now would almos. be persuaded
to believe that he was in another
town. There can be no comparison
between tho appearance of the place
30 days ago ard now and members of
the department are jubilant ever the
fact that they have handsome and
up-to-dste department now of which
they S.n be proud.
Discussing the impEoYernents,. Chief
Jassissss5n said yesterday that the
changes had long been needed, but
he had laid off. hoping that the city's
financial affairs would ba improved
soon and that the fire commits ee
could see As way clear toward maxi
ing the improvements. However, he
finally concluded that there was no
hope or this VI coming to pass, and
realizing that the work had to be done
he succeedsa IN getting the fire COM
mittee OF council to pay a visit of In
spection to other towns and after the
committee saw what other cities were
doing they were almost ashamed TO
refuse Chief Jacksun's request for
some financial aid.

the other hand. assert that the allies
attacks have been repulsed.

shown In the official dispatches. Cor
respondents report that the hospitals
again are filling. while along the Dutch
border continuous firing can be heard
