. Good Word
For the Firemen

The writer takes the liberty OF
quoting the following paragraphs
from a letter received from Mr..
Mccormack some time ago:
''1f you and the rest of your towns
people are enjoying the protection
of an adequately equipped, active,
interested department, then you are
indeed fortunate and we take n
pleasure in asking for these live
wire firemen who give of their time,
energy and, yes, even of their mon
ey your further encouragement thru
the columns of your paper.
If your department is run down.
equipment not properly taken care
of and the personnel disinterested,
then your home with its loved ones
within, you business with all that It
means to you the future, yes even
the community you love is in sorry
flight, a fact that may be forcibfy
brought home to you when least ex-
rected.
II such be the case with your de-
partment then we would entreat
you, you who mold public opinion
you who have an influence for good
in your community to give this mat
ter serious thought and investigator
and thru the medium Of your paper
demand some action be taken look
ing to . proper preparation against
nm attack by the demon fire"
The quotation speaks for itssl'
and no comments are necessary, un
less IL be to say that the Town
Officials, the Fire Department ant
the people Of the Town have . joint
responsibility along this line.

Leadville Priest
to Edgewater

The Rev. Mark W. Lappan, pastor
of St. Mary Magdalene's Catholic
church at Edgewater, will succeed
the Rev. C. J. O'Farrell, recently
killed in an automobile accident, as
pastor of the Holy Family church,
West 44th and Utica street. Desig-
natl n of Father Lappen as pastor of
the church was announced Monday,

lsh Father Lappan was assistant to
the Rev. David T. O'Dyer at St. Pat
rick's church
Father Lappen will be succeeded
at Edgewater by the Rev. ]. M.
C'Malley, pastor ut Leadville, Colo,
since 1911. While Father O'Malley

by the removal Of Father O'Malley
from Ueadville will be filled thru a
competitive examination Of eligible
priests in the diocese.
The forty-two-mile-an-hour wind
that swept over Colorado and East
ernwycming on Sunday night did
little damage in Edgewater. With
the exception Of interrupted tele-
phone service and the complete dis
truction Of the Town Hall flag every
thing appeared about as usual on
Monday morning when sleepy-eyed
citizens cautiously peered out Of
doors and windows to see II there
had been any change in the location
Of their homes during the night. It
was . restless night, however, and
observed by : wide-awake people for
although the ''Sandman' came and
sifted sand into food, and poured
sand through every crack and Gre
vice Of houses no one seemed in
clined to "close their tired eyes and
so to sleep and rest" Perhaps II
the sentiment Of the people Of Edge
water had had united expression on
Monday II would have been "thank
goodness We are still it,"
