NEW FIRE HALL DEDICATION
CONTINUED from first pagel

danger in order to save life and prop
erty. Oftentimes a fireman is killed
or crippled for life, or contracts ser
iOus illntss from exposure when fight
ing fires. When fireman dies from |
fighting fires, a martyr to the cause, |
leaving possibly some grand old moth
er, wife, children and relatives in a |
sorrowful home, he is leading the life |
of a volunteer fireman. Many fires
can be prevented. As high as 80 per
cent of the fires in this country are Of
a preventable nature. Fire preven-
tion is one of the things that this
country needs, in order to reduce the
fire loss. Insurance companies act
only as a distributing agency and your
premium on your insurance policy is
based on the fire losses throughout
the community. You and you alone
will pay your prorata share. The fire
loss for one year is $508,000,000, and
that loss is paid by the people. No
fire insurance company is going to pay
this vast amount without something
in return, and the tax placed upon the
people plus the operating expenses, Is
where the insurance companies get
this return
Careless Attitudt of People on Losses
"The careless attitude of the people
in regard to insurance losses cannot
be found anywhere else in the civiliz-
ed world except in the United States,
and in view of the high order of in
telligence of the average American
citizen, and the efforts that have been
made to educate our people along the
line Of Fire Prevention, the careless
habits still continue. What citizen
has not seen a fire of some size at
some time or another, and witnessed
the devastation, perpleXity and sor-
row that follows in the wake of this,
our great national enemy. As to the
fire department this organization
deals only with the suppression of fire
after it occurs, and can do nothing
else. Reliance upon fire department
however we'll organized and equipped,
does not relieve anyone from his duty
toward fire prevention. Fire preven-
ton can be observed and the people
of this community should adopt a
slogan let the people of Smyrna be
the fire preventers, and the firemen
the fire fighters Let it be your duty
to be a booster of the volunteer fire.
men, and never fail to recognize the
fact that in time Of danger they are
always ready to hasten to assist. "lr
closing, l wish to state that it has
been a great pleasure for me to be
with you, and wish TO thank you"

A business meeting of the Parent
Teachers Association was held in the
Assembly Hall of Townsend grammar
school Friday afternoon and discussed
plans for the ensuing year.
John Townsend was given a birth
day surprise party byh is children and
grandchildren, the venerable citizen
having reached his list anniversary
on October %. The event proved
very enjoyable to the participants. A
delightful feature of the occasion was
the presentation of birthday cake
decorated with II lighted candles. A
strange coincidence Of the happy oc-
casion was the fact that Mr.. Nathaniel
w. VanhOrn, also of Townsend, has a
birthday on the same date-and hav-
ing reached his Sind birthday, he had
the pleasure of helping to celebrate
the birthday of his friend near Town
send, and also his own anniversary by
being entertained at the Townsend
home, making somewhat of a dual
event of much interest and pleasure.
Mr.. VanhOrn was also generously con-
graduated by relatives and friends on
his birthday anniversary.

SUMMIT BRIDGE NOT CLOSED
Date Not Definite; Will be Set Later
by u. S. Engineer Brown

Though November l had been fixed
as the date for closing the old bridge
over the Chesapeake & Delaware
canal at Summit Bridge, the structure
will not be closed at this time. The
date has not been decided, but will be
fixed by Col. Earl |. Brown, United
States engineer, later. 1t was learn
ed Saturday in a telephone conversa-
ton with Senator Bayard, at his office
in Washington, that this is the plan.
"I received a letter today from Gen.
Taylor, chief Of engineers of the War
Department, the senator said, Gin
which he states that the date for clos
ing the bridge will be fixed by Col.
Brown" Senator Bayard also said
Col Brown would advise Levy Court
man Truitt of MiddletOwn when the
time for closing the bridge is decided
upon. Senator Bayard will cOmmuni-
cate this information to Mr.. Truitt.
When Col. Brown was asked about
the matter he said the time for closing
the bridge had not been determined.
From a layman's observation it would
seem as if the closing might be de-
ferred for several weeks.
