SALEM LEAFLETS


Zone extreme often follows an
other is often and truthfully said.
And SO it has been with the weather
for the past week. The most of last
week was unusually wet and roads
got worse than at any time before
this winter. The last three days
have been the opposite, especially
the last two. They were like early
spring and the roads have dried up
wonderfully fast. Farmers are pre-
pairing to break lands for another
crop; gardens are being prepared and
planted. Several persons have set
out early frost-proof cabbage plants
this week.
Under the management Of Mls
Claire Roggli, teacher of the inter-
mediate department Of the Robson
High School, there will be given on
Friday evening, February rs, at 8
o'clock comedy in two acts by the

charges. A box supper and games,
in which all viii participate, will
follow the play. The public is cor
daily invited.

GOOD TRAINING

Not great many years ago a
school building in one Of our north
ern cities burned, and in the fire
and stampede for the doors many
children lost their lives. Since then
much time and money have been
spent in making our schools safe
from fire. If our memory is correct,
it was not long after this fire that
Law was passed making it neces-
sary To have the doors to all public
buildings open to the outside so that
in tn case Of fire the doors shut
and crowded against could not keep
the occupants Of the building from
gaining an exit.
In fire drill in the grammar
school last Friday every pupil in the
school had vacated the building in
less than a minute and quarter
from the time the fire alarm was
sounded and in less than three min
ntes every pupil had re-entered the
building and was seated at the
proper desk. There are about 400
pupils in the school, ranging in ages
from six to IS years, and not a single
one Of them or any Of the teachers
knew that the fire alarm was to be
SOUNDED The fact that not the least
bit Of confusion was in evidence; that
every pupil knew exactly what he or
she was expected to do; that the
line moved out Of the building rap
idly, but without confusion, speaks
well for the pupils, the teachers and
che principal Of the school.
It should make parents have a
mighty comfortable feeling to know
that their children are just as safe
from fire while in the school room as
It is possible for them to be.

Congress passed laws Of the utmost

Walter S. Buchanan, national abide
camp, Army and Navy Union,
Route 2, Louisa, Va, he will be
glad to advise them fully as to their
RIGHTS under the new law. Prompt
action will mean the possible saw
ing Of money, as the pension COM
mences from the filing Of the claim.

comrades in every possible manner.

OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT ONE
OF THE BEST

The Covington fire department has
been testing its new fire fighting
apparatus this week and the tests
have shown that the new equipment
Is the best to be had in fire-fighting
machinery. With the added pro
lection Of this equipment it is hoped
BY our citizens that the fire in
surance rate will be reduced.
The demonstrations this week
have shown that the department is
far and away better equipped to
combat fire than they have ever
been before. Much Of the credit for
the efficiency Of Covington's fire
department is due to the tireless eff
forts Of Chief Ed Wall to get the
best equipment possible for the city
and we believe that we can truth
fully say that he has one Of the best
equipped fire departments in the
state outside the larger cities. The
remuneration Chief Wall has received
for his services has been practically
nothing, and Covington should, and
IS, proud to have one 50 capable and
public spirited in charge Of its fire
department.
Those who are familiar with the
water system Of the city state that
the fact that the new engine takes
the pressure off the mains know
that this means a gread deal, as
the amount Of pressure necessary
under the old system to fight fire
Of any consequence was liable to
burst the mains, and the laying Of
new mains would have put the city
to very heavy expense.
The property loss in a small fire is
due almost as much to the damage
done by water as the damage done
By fire. The fact that the new en-
CINE is equipped with a 4O-gallon
chemical tank will mean that much
Of the water damage will be elimin-
ated>
It came little high, but we got
the best.
