Exit for Fire Company

The Union Fire Company has COM
pleted negotiations with John Micke
for the purchase of one of his pair of
houses on Coryell street, near Union,
Lambertville, and it will later be torn
down to provide an exit from the
fire house on Coryell street instead of
Church street, as at present.
The company uses an auto tractor
to haul its steamer, and it is a diff
cult turn out into Church street,
while Coryell street is ten feet wider
between the curbs. In addition to this
it will no longer be necessary to back
all the apparatus in after returning
from fire, but will be possible to
run direct into the house, ready to
leave again for the next fire without
uncoupling the machines.

TURN THE BOYS THOUGHTS HOkENARD, SAYS F0SDICk,
 ASKING COOPERATION

Washington. - (Speclal.) Just be- fore leaving for France to superln- tend the demobilization activities oe those organizations which recently took part In the United War Work Campaign, Raymond B. Fosdieks- Chairman of the Commission on Train, ing Camp Activities, was interviewed with regard to the present situation or our overseas forces.
 "The problem presented by tha gradual Rehabilitation of more than two million men three thousand miles from home Is one which will tax ali our social resources" said Mir. Eos dick. Tt is above all morale prob lem, and 1t must be faced as such, with the full cooperation of families and friends hore fin this country, If it is to be solved successfully. Every one who has son, brother, must help.
 "While the war was on our boys were fully occupied; they were still. filled with the spirit of adventure. looking forward rather than back. Now, however, the fighting Is at an end. They are going to remain, most of them, many months doing work which will be neither exciting nor particularly interesting. They will get lonesome, bored and terribly home sick.
 The S1TO,O00000 raised in the re- cent United War Work drive Is to be used precisely to bridge over this pc riod by providing recreation and amusement But no amount of mere money expended in such way win be enough. What these boys really want is not diversion, but human interest and sympathy. These things express ed in letters from home win warm their hearts and create homo at inosphere around them. even while they are absent from the family circle.
 Such letters may be very neces- sary sheet anchor to windward In the case of some boys. The thought of some one waiting for them, counting on them. will more than anything else, make them hold back and think twice before plunging into situations which might mean harm and unhap- piness for them.
 We have raised the cleanest army in the world. We have kept 1t clean We hope to bring 1t back as clean and strong as 1t was when 1t left us But while we believe our soldiers will stand the present test-the hardest of all in some ways-as bravely and successfully as they have stood every other test of their manhood and en- durance, 1t is our duty to give them all the help we can.
 "This, as I have said, can best be rendered by means of letters which wil begin now, at once, not only to satisfy their home longings. but to turn their thoughts from tasks already accomplished in the long years of life ahead of them"
