FALSE ALARM
ACTION TAKEN
Fords and Keasbey Firemen
Again Called Out Early
This Morning

FORDS, July "a false alarm
at . o'clock this morning, giving
the fire companies another goose
chase to Hopelawn, has about
brought this petty piece of business
to its height, in the eyes of the fire.
men.
This being the second false alarm
in less than a weeks time, the fire.
men have decided to take action in
the matter. The keasbey firemen
have taken the lead in agitation
against the petty practice of false
alarm calls and there may be some
interesting doings in a few days.
Through the New York Telephone
Company, the place where the
phone call came from calling out
the fire companies, has been traced.
Although efforts to locate the guilty
party this morning were without
avail. the matter is due for a thor
ough investigation. Chief Charles
Wagenhoffer nay request a special
meeting of the Board of Fire Com
missioners at which time he Will
notify them of the results of his in
vestigation.
1t is getting to be a frequent &C.
currence to call out the fire COM
panleS at all hours OF the nlgnt, u
respond to false alarms. The fire.
men have expressed their sentiments
as being entirely disguised with such
foolishness.
1t might be we'll for the party OF
parties responsible for the false
alarms to think of the story of the
shepherd and the wolf. The shep-
herd found fun in calling out the
people TO protect his sheep from the
wolves, when it was only a false cali.
The wolves finally did attack his
sheep one day and the people did
not heed his cry for help, thinking
they would be fooled again. 1t was
disastrous for the shepherd. This
case may also apply to the volunteer
firemen. You can fool them just
so long and no more.

PLAYGROUND NEWS
WHY Do we Have Fairgrounds?

Why Do We Have Fairgrounds?
Get OUT yells the cop. 'or I'll
soon put a stop
To your nerve racking din, by run
ming you in.
You can't play on this street while
I'm on this beat.
So chase yourself hence, get away
from the fence"
And the cop he's the law and we've
got to obey.
But he don't tell us what or where
we car play.
Get OUT" yells the man as we kick
his ash can.
And he calls us vile toughs and VIII
lains and roughs.
And names if | said would knock
mother down dead.
We run all our might to get out of
his sight
And bump into people who kick us
But never tell US a place we car
play.
Now if you were a lad, didn't mean
to be bad.
Had no place to meet except on the
street,
No place to play ball, or tag at all
Now honest and true what on earth
would you do?
Why you'd lie and make bets and
smoke cigarettes;
You'd gamble and fight and throw
stones just for spite,
You'd try to live down to the names
you were named
And you'd lie with the gang without
feeling ashamed.
Give them a chance for innocent
sport, give them a chance for
Better a playground than a court
and Jail when the harm is done.
Give them a chance-if you stint
them now. tomorrow you'll
have to pay
A larger bill for a darker i'll. so give
them a chance to play.
That, folks, is why we have play
grounds in the city of Perth Amboy.

how we do it.
