FIREMEN LAUNCH
SALE OF TICKETS
HERE TOMORROW

FL Centre is 70 be attacked by
an army tomorrow, but it is Il
friendly army, and one that the pco-
pie of FL Centre will undoubtedly
he glad to support and cooperate
with.
The "army" is composed of 1G
members of the FL Centre fire de-
partmcnt. who will launch the ticket
sale for the 10th annual firemcn s
ball, to he given at The high school
gymnasium on February 20. The
entire business district will be can
vassed by the firemem, and their
only weapons will be the good-na-
tured grin that the firemcn wear
even when the going is the rough
est. Guy Beynon, II. f. Holt, Char.
les F. Ferguson and +. Sanders are
in charge of the ticket drive.
Plans for the ball are progressing
in good shape, Chief Ferguson said
today. The decorating committee
has engaged the services of Robert
r. Lee to construct an Egyptian
temple i'll the gymnasium, and he
has already started on his work. Lee
was formerly one of the best known
decorators in the middle west, being
actively connected with the world S
fair at st. Louis in 1904 and with
many similar enterprises in all
parts of the country.
Older residents of the city will
recall him as the man who produced
the wonderful fireworks display on
the old fair grounds in 1915.
Lee is now q resident of Dixie
land, where he raises dates, but he
has lost none of his old-time skill
with brush and canvas, and has en-
tered into the job of providing the
decorations for the firemen s ball,
with the vim of Il school boy play
ing his first game of ball in the
spring.
Arrangements have been made for
policing the grounds about the high
school the night of the dance, and
special watchmen will be. on hand
tn protect property in automobiles
against possible. visits from thieves.
The watchmen will also have an
other duty, upon which they have
received absolute instructions from
the firemen. That is to see that
there is no liquor drinking on any
part of the school grounds The
firemen are determined that there
shall be none of this at their dance.
Offenders will be promptly turned
over TO the police for prosecution,
Chief Ferguson said.
