Spirit of fhe
DelndrUia Press
FREMEN REWARDED.

tFrom the Dover State News.)
Citizens OF Little Creek displayed
the proper spirit OF gratitude and ap-
probation when they raised a purse OF
more than two hundred dollars TO be
divided among the fremen who saved
the town from destruction by fire sew
eral weeks ago. This shows that the
people Of Little Greek realize the value
OF proper fire protection, and 10 was
indeed fortunate for them that the fire
companies from Dover, Smyrna and
Milford were able 10 respond TO the
alarm. Here IN Dover we have a fire
company always on the alert TO save
our lives and property. Should a lre
break out In a Dover residence 10 Is not
necessary 20 wait a considerable length
Of time for a fire company 10 eOme
from a ncichboring Town Tho Rob-
bins Hose Company would respond inn
mcdisiely 90 such an alarm, thereby
reaching The scene OF the fire in time
20 prevent its spread into what mighl
be a serious cOnnagration. DO The
residents and property owners OF Dover
properly appreciate this protection that
Is constantly afforded them2 II so,
they can best show that appreciation
by cooperating heartily in the move
ment TO secure more up-to-date and
efficient lre-nshtng equipment for the
Robbins Hose boys.

According to official statements, the
various advantageous insurance poll
clcs arranged by the government for
men being discharged from the army
and navy are going begging. While the
insurance offered them by the govern
ment is generally so per cent cheaper
than what they can obtain through a
private company, most of the men APP
pear 20 regard it with Indifference. II
would seem that there were distinct
advantages to be gained by the taking
of this insurance as no physical exam
nation is required and every dis
charged man is entitled to it no mat
ter what his condition of health. An
other point in its favor is that policies
carry no risk clauses as private poll
cies do.
