possible to maintain a high standard
of character and physique where all
the conditions are adverse" The
problems to be faced were, popula-
tion overcrowded in houses; housef
overcrowded on the land and in
many cases the streets and houses
shamefully unsanitary. Mr.. Cad
bury desired to remedy these evils

WATCH EN- COME BACK

IT seems that the same bug
must have bitten all of our basket
ball players Friday evening, judging
from me poor showing made by the
several teams. We don't blame
Pleasant City for being puffed up.
since they are the first and only
high school team that has trimmed
NJ. & M. this season. This defeat OF
M &, M. has attracted no little no
lice in outside basket ball circles.
Several reasons could be assigned
as to the cause of M. & I's defeat,
but we are not going to mention
them. Tie thing we do want to en-
phasize is that because they have
met defeat, they are not down and
out, and our people should stand
back of them to the last ditch. All
teams sooner or later have their
slumps, and the best way of judS-
ing the stuff in team. is for them
to "come back This is what M. &
NJ. is going to do, because that is
the way they are made up. Just
watch them from now on, beginning
this Friday night.
Give them your loyal hearty, un-
divided support-and watch EN-
come back.

acres of recreation grounds) and

lishment is, to the open-eyed visitor,
an educational experience, and in
this case, the deep interest taken by
capital in it's labor adds to the inter
est of the visit, for much indeed has
been done in this lovely spot to
make something else besides money
A Bonneville lad in London,
Cadbury employe, was enthusiastic
about his home village-for they do
not call it a city, and besides an in
vitation to his fathers home gave
informal ton to the effect that let

sire to see their work would bring
an invitation by return mail. The
matter of showing guests through
the place is a constant. daily item
with the Cadburys and an expense
which some of us would not long be
able to maintain, for, first, there is
the office work and postage con-
nected with issuing the tickets;
next, the guides who take us
through in small parties are TO be
paid; and in addition to these items
there is a significant amount OF con-
fectionery consumed at the various

GOOD WORK AT FIRE

The work of our volunteer fire
fighters at the fire last Sunday
morning, deserves special mention.
With the equipment they had to
work with, they did splendidly. Any
fire in any place, is bad enough, but
this one came in a particularly dan
gerous place, and had there been a
delay in responding TO the call. or
the wrong effort been used in COM
batting the flames, there is not much
doubt that we would have had one
of the most disastrous fires in the
history of this locality. Those VINO
fought the flames in the cold, get
ting soaking wet, did it at the great
hazard OF their health and life. AS
is always the case at such fires,
many OF the fire fighters had their
clothes ruir ed or damaged. Just
why we have to plod along with
such poor equipment. is beyond us.
We can conceive Of nothing Of
greater importance TO q community
than good Well equipped fire
company our people are always
ready and wiling to go and fight
fire, and are only too glad to offer
their services. but there should be
some way of providing them with
certain protection. such as water
proof coats and such other equip
ment as will protect their health to
a degree at least. The cause OF the
death of one of our strongest young
men, several years ago, was traced
directly to the exposure he received
while fighting fire in the cold
Wouldn't it be dreadful some time
when the fire alarm is sounded, to
have our fire fighters go on a strike?
OF course they won't do it, but on
the other hand, the loss Of one s
health should be at least as careful
~ considered as the property loss
by fire.
