" ItI NOT TWO Tl4arOON SYSTEM
FOR FTREMEN OF SOUTH
REND2

Editor News-Times:
1 noticed in local paper (nOt
The News imes). the other night,
South Bend to have a double platoon
system will need 35 more men. This
is a mistake, as it will only take
about 10 men at the most. As it is
at the present time, the firemen do
not have any time at home with
their family: they have one hour and
fifteen minutes FOR each meal and
every sixth day of. That means
every sixth day they spend with their
family at home. 1 know some cases
that some Of the firemen do not see
their children at all only the day
they have off; also some of the chill
dren do not recognize their father
unless he has on his uniform. They
are almost a stranger 10 their fam
lily in civilian clothes.
South Bend certainly has a fire de-
partment TO be proud Of, as they are
quick TO respond to a call. Have you
ever stopped 10 consider when the
citizens are enjoying themselves, the
firemen are at their post waiting to
protect the property which we own?
1t doesn't matter if it is raining or
sun shining; they are always ready
and willing TO respond 10 alarm at
any time of day or night.
Have YOU ever visited a fire sta
ton and see how clean the place is
kept. and how willing they are 10 re-
spond 10 a call at any time of the
day or night. other cities not as
large as SNuth Bend have a double
system. "a hours on duty and "a
hours of duty. This would give each
company four men on each cart and
in case of a big fire the men off duty
would be called in and what counts
in a big fire is 10 have a lot OF help.
BY having this double platoon
system in the South Bend fire
department, il would take more
money, but when YOU figure on the
10000 more citizens that Will be
added 10 the population in the near
future. that will not count.
No doubt if the citizens would give
this a little more thought. they
would realize what it means 10 the
fireman. As stated before il would
give them a few more hours at home
which they would more than enjoy.
All they ask is for YOU TO give
them your support in this double
platoon system. which viii be greatly
appreciated by all the firemen.

Town Made Famous By oxstera.


The oyster season at Colchester,
England, was opened with quaint cere-
monies. The mayor and corporation
traversed the fishery grounds in a
dredger and the mayor made the first
haul of oysters. The mayor and cor
poration then consumed gin and GIN
ger-bread--a custom which has pre-
vailed since the fishery was first
opened under royal charter in the
reign of Richard l. A telegram ex-
pressing dutiful devotion was sent 70
the king at luncheon afterwards on
Peewit island. The early Saxons so
appreciated the Colchester fishery that
they took three oyster knives for their
arms, and this device still forms tbe
arms of the county of Essex. The
Colchester fishery lost all their con.
tinental customers during the war
but the British public consumed olI
that they could supply. They had
most successful seasons, and were obIe
to give 10000 oysters to military hos
pitfalls.

Win Shelbyville Game

The Shelbyville Herald gives the
following account of the game play
ed there last Sunday.
The best ball game played this
season in Shelby county was staged
here Sunday when Monroe City de-
fe ated Shelbyville in a pitchers
duel by score of to 0. DR.. Alex
ander. who did the twirling for the
visitors, was in fine form and is one
of the best pitchers the locals have
faced this season. He allowed three
hits, striking out seven men.
D Davenport did the receiving and
good support was given the battery
throughout the game.
The locals had two splendid
C hances to score in the sixth and
eighth innings in each instance.
Ho wever. they were unable to get a
hit which would have meant one
and perhaps two runs.
Our boys did not have their re
gular lineup, the places of the re-
gular center and right fielders,
OBryen and Ward, being filled by
Taylor and Ziegler. With the re.
eular lineup we believe the result
would have been different, as both
the regulars are good hitters. The
game was umpired by John Bates
of Shelbina.
An effort will be made to match
Monroe with the locals for a game
b ere on Old Settlers day. Monroe
has an aggregation of fast players
and if they come a hot contest is
assured.
