BY D. h. SHIRE,
Fire Chief Rock Island Arsenal.

Oct. 9, 1920, is Fire Prevention
day and there never was a time
when fire prevention was more
necessary than right now. Over 15,-
600 of our citizens we're burned to
death last year and over 1900 ser
/ iously injured. Over 80 per cent
of these casualtiee vas the result
Of carelsssness.
Every progressive fire chief in
the United States, If he has not al
ready done SO, will within the next
few years add the Boy Scouts as
members of hi sdepartment.
The day Of telling them to get
out Of the way and run along
| sonny" has past, but now they are
called on to aid both As policemen
! and ~ firemen.
Once they were characterized as
the worst nuisance possible at a
fire, for they always managed to be
right up on the scene OF action
despite the efforts Of the authori-
ties to make them move on"
Today. however, all that has
CHANGED. and both Of the fire and
police departments are working IN
! every way possible with the Boy
SCENTS A an auxiliary. Their pre-
liminary training and the fact that
firemsnship is one Of the merit
! h.a~o,. ra<Suirements have given q
nav phase to the presence Of Scouts
ON the fire line.
Their aiertness to stop a fire.
rather than to watch one, gained
their recognition by the Interna-
tinnal Association Of Fire Engi-
neers At Toronto, Canada. last
INV and they are today . part OF
fire service.
I have always been in favor OF
i the Boy Scouts as an auxiliary to
| the fire department and with proper
training along the line Of hre pre-
vention and extinguishmeht ! be-
lieye they will be . decided factor

The day is 1t hand where real

Templaf 1t Rock Island, this city
Is paid . flne compliment As a con-
vention city.
The 64th annual conclave of the
grand commandery, knights Tenn
plar Of Illinois. was without doubt
one Of the most stupendous con-
claves ever held in the history Of
Knights Templar in Illinois," reads
the article. THE selection Of Rock
Island as the place for holding the
conclave was a wise one for the
city and environments offer a most
excellent opportunity for the enter
tainment Of large companies of
men.
There has never been a time
when a conclave was as we'll or
gan;zed as that at Rock Island.
The fraters commenced in ample
time. appointed plenty Of commit
tees and it is needless to say car
rIed the enterprise through with a
firm determination to make the
conclave a success in every partic-
ular. The citizens of the city as
we'll as the local authorities en-
tered into the enterprise Just the
same as II it was their own per-
sonal affair and nothing was left
undone to contribute to the comfort
and pleasure Of those who at
tended"
: Police Complimented.
Referring to the efforts Of the 10
lice. the article has the following
compliment to pay: Under the di-
rectlop Of Chief Cox members of
the Rock Island police force, aided
by Davenport and Moline officers
and Boy Scouts. carefully guarded
the route of the parade and nothing
was allowed to interfere with the
line. Ropes were stretched to re-
strain the multitude on Second and
Third avenues and all traffic was
barred on these thoroughfares aft
er 3 o'clock. Officers efficiently en-
forced special regulations and no.
where along the line of march was
a delay due to any laxness on their
part.
City officials saw to it that
streets were put in condition. and
a force Of men was at work the
previous night cleaning the thor.
