by being prepared for emergencies.
Keep buckets filled with water and
place them handy for immediate use,
or better still, provide fire extinguish-
ers for not alone this occasion, but for
other occasions that might arise.
Members of Fire Companies are
interested and should lend their aid
for safe and sane Fourth of July.
Usually this is one of the busiest days
of the year and is seldom passed with
out injury or death occurring to some
member. Be safe. Be sane. And ad-
wise and help others to be. Have
merriment and plenty of it, but avoid
mourning by avoidance of carelessness.
Remember that it is better to plan
for the saving of life and property be-
fore loss occurs than afterwards; as
then it is too late and regrets will fol-
low that may last a life time, marring
the pleasure that life should give"
