THE FIREMEN'S
CELEBRATION

W~innemucca's proposed Fourth of
July celebration has fallen through
entirely. Manager Henry Rucktesch-
Ter of the baseball team says he
thoroughly intended to put the cele-
bration matter before the Athletic
Association and the Eagles. in hope
one or both of those bodies would
carry it through, but when he saw
not many people were interested" he
decided to let it go. He is now try
ing to arrange a baseball game here
with Elko for the Fourth, as a sort
of a compromise.
So that brings Winnemucca's at
tention to the next celebration
planned, the firemen's annual cele-
bration of Labor Day, which will be
Monday, September 6. For the last
two years the firemen have put on a
celebration on Labor Day, and each
time they have worked hard and made
the occasion successful.
Now, it seems, the underlying idea
of the firemen's celebrations has been
overlooked, some people apparently
having the idea the firemen stage the
celebration for organization profit
only. Such is not the case. All
money derived from the celebrations
is put in a fund for relief of aremen
exclusively. Banquets and good times
the fremen have are paid for by dues
and fines for infractions of rules.
At all times the freman's lot is
hazardous. There's no telling when
a fire will break out, and that they
can be severe has been well proven
in Winnemucca. In any one of the
three or four large fires we have had
here there was great danger of a
fireman becoming injured or killed.
The boys have always taken chances
that perhaps they should not have
taken, but they took them in hope of
averting loss. They cannot be ex-
pected to risk their lives without
backing Of some sort.
And so the accident fund was
started with a Labor Day celebration
and the plan is to continue adding
to that fund SO that if any member
is injured or killed during a fire there
will be something to defray expenses.
AS an example of how it works,
some time ago there was a member
oe +ha uolrntaaro ubo hacama cari-
ously i'll Immediately after having
helped to fight a fire. AT first it was
thought his sickness was the result
of exposure during that fire. The
firemen, with help of the local aerie
Of Eagles, of which the man was also
a member, sent him to a Reno hospi-
tai, paid all expenses from the fund
built UP by Labor Day celebrations,
and when it developed an operation
was necessary the firemen went right
through. The man died, unfortu-
nately, leaving a helpless wife and
children. To make it strong, it
might be added that it was the fire.
men who carried the market basket
to this family when they were actual
ly in want Of food during the fathers
illness and death.
So 1t comes down to a business
proposition to support the firemen's
celebration. If your place or mine
should catch on fire we want those
firemen ON the job, and selfish though
it may seem we want them to take
chances-that is, little ones-if in that

One former Lacquer, a German,
said; !" All that Townley wants with
me is SIS. and no sense.''' The Rus

situation in Russia the past two or
three years will have nothing to do
