 The contest was nationwide and many fremen would have cast aside an opportunity such as MT. Thayer seized upon. thinking there vas llt. tie chance og bringing q prize to Put nam when the whole country was en~ gagged in tho contest. Mir. Thayer, however. took the attitude that Put nam is as good a city as any on earth, backed it up by sending along hls clip ping. and ns result ans declared q winner.

FIRE PREVENTION DAY
X Proclamation
 By His ENcellency JOHN II. TRUMBUIIs

Governor
 In accordance with the General Statutes. l designate Monday. October iith next. as
 FIRE PREVENTION DAY
 It is apparent that the iu- creaslng loss by fire of lives and property can only be characteriz- ed as shameful waste, inasmueh as the great majority are attri- hutahle to earelessness and are preyentahle by proper care.
 The correction lies in sober thought and soand education and intelligent action. there fore recommend that all eiti- zens. and particularly school au- thorities. give attention on that day Co the study and teaching of fire prevention. suggest also that fl this sort of education Is to be effective. the ordinary yir- tues of care and common sense be emphasized in this connection. not merely as objects of annual veneratiOn. but as every day eco homie n .cessities.

LEGIoN's DRIVE FOR AMBUL
ANCE FUND MAKING
PROGRESS

The committee in charge of rails
ing the Legion's fund for the pur-
chase of an ambulance for use in
Cecil county and vicinity reports
that progress has been made during
the first week of the drive, al
though contributions have not come
in with the volume anticipated.
Up to date the sum of $1SOO.0O has
been pledged toward the goal of
$4,000.
The committee feels that perhaps
some persons may question the need
for an ambulance in the county and
the amount Of good which will
come from its acquisition. 1t quotes
as an example the results OF years
operation of the ambulance main
tanned by the George H. Harrison
Post, American Legion, Smyrna,
Del. During the past year, this Post
has responded to III calls of an
average of lot miles each. One
trip was made to New York City;
one to Saratoga Springs, New York,
and several to Philadelphia One
of these trips of 81 miles from the
vicinity of Smyrna to Wilmington
was made in SO minutes, resulting
in saving the lives OF three persons
painfully injured in an accident.
This Post has letters from hospitals
and physicians testifying that in Az
of the 121 cases. the patients life
was saved by the service given by
the ambulance. The local Post
feels that it can render equally note
worthy service in this community.
The Woman's Clubs OF the county
have generously consented to assist
in this campaign and contributions
may be made to any Of the following
officers of these clubs or mailed to
Sterling E. Dunbar, Treasurer,

than three years on each OF the
counts, and a fine of $500 on each

claimed card sharks" stripped him
of all his loot except nickel, which
he is keeping as a good luck token.
