SUGGESTIONS FOR
HANDLING FIRES

Editor, the News: There having
been numerous calls for assistance at
fires outside the city limits of Hood
River, | have taken the matter up
with the State Fire Marshals office
with the following results as per
letter from State Fire Marshal:
Mr.. F. B. Snyder, Fire Marshal
Hood River. Oregon.
Dear Sir: Your letter of July oath
to hand wherein you state, THAT the
ranchers are very insistent that we
help them save their houses. We do
not feel justified in leaving Hood Ri
yer without protection for very long
at a time The County Court
disclaims all responsibility"
There is no way that We can offer
advice or suggestions to you as to
the method of procedure under the
state law. II the county court is not
interested in the taxable property
within their county from being des-
troyed, we can not force them in
this particular. OF course the city is
in need of protection as the fire loss
there this year shows and as to the
advisability of taking out the De-
partment and leaving the city with
out protection, you, yourself would
be the best Judge in this matter. The
matter is one for the County Court
and the City Council to decide be-
tween themselves and to reach some
decision before everything burns
down in that vicinity. This is pun C.
ly local question and one that
seems to me, the officials should
have settled long ago.
Assuring you that we will do every
thing in our power but that this is a
question within the hands of the
county and municipal authorities, I
beg leave to remain,
Yours very truly,
Harvey Wells,
State Fire Marshal
In regard to above, I would sug-
gest that residents from outlying
districts make some arrangements
with the County Court and City
Council, If possible, whereby some
one is authorized to take charge of
and furnish men and other assist
ance that may be necessary in time
of out-of-town fires, authorizing such
person to make arrangements for
the payment of such necessary bills
as may be contracted.
In closing will state that the
Hood River Volunteer Fire Depart
ment stands ready at all times to
render such assistance as may be
in their power and consistent with
the protection Of property within
the city limits.
Respectfully,
F. B. Snyder,
Fire Marshal

The SCHOOLS MUST HELP

II is now apparent that labor troubles
are going to confrot the apple orchard
lists of the Northwest the coming fall,
and an opportunity is offered the girls
and boys of our schools to do their bit
for their communities and their gov
ernment. The fruit belts of California
have already felt the effects of !. W..
w. agitation. AS a.result of agitation,
strikes and the general shortage of
harvest hands, according to Kenneth
Mckay, an interview with whom ap-
peared in last weeks Glacier. the
Bartlett pear growers of the Sacre-
mento valley lost heavily.
Here in Hood River, where the ap-
pie crop, from present estimates, will
be nothing like as heavy as last year,
we can handle the labor problem very
easily, providing all of the school
authorities, parents and pupils prac-
tice cooperation. With vacation of
two or three weeks the children can go
far toward harvesting the apple crop.
By all means let US keep from our
midst any of that element of ire
sponsible labor that will be sure to
foment trouble if they come among US.
Timely comment on the labor prob
lem appeared as follows in an Oregon
ian of last week:
It now seems probable that help of
boys and girls:will be required if the
furit harvest of the Northwest is to be
saved. A good many of our men have
enlisted in the Army and Navy and
others are claimed by various industri-
al pursuits, so that the reserve of labor
for a purely seasonal work is unusually
small. 1t would be a pity to waste
any of our food resources, and doubly
to be regretted if the waste were our
own fault. The call to the boys and
girls so situated as to be able to help
is call to duty. 1t lis at the same
time call to pleasant task. The
work is not too hard for a healthy
youth, it is in the open, and to those
who are undertaking it for the first
time it will offer agreeable novelty.
1t is only one of the many ways in
which boys and girls can help to keep
things moving while the war lasts, but
it is the way nearest at hand. The
harvest is soon to begin and its de-
mands will grow more insistent day by
day until the end.
