p. L. A. Elects Officers
The postponed meeting of the Par
ent-Teacher Association, held at the
high school Monday evening was
well attended and several fine ad-
dresses were made. Members OF the
D. I. A. A. Championship Baseball
team were present and accepted the
championship PLAGUE presented by
the State Board of Education. Be
fore closing the association pro-
ceeded to elect officers which re-
suited as follows: President, Mrs.
George B. Potter; vice-president, l..
May Jones; secretary, Mrs. Willis
Clifton; treasurer, Mrs. Mary Dolby.
The officers as elected seem to be
very capable, and two OF them are
members of the school faculty,
while the other two represent the
community. An effort will be made
in the near future to enlarge the
number of members of the associa-
tion. The newly elected officers. are
very much interested and to make
their administration successful they
will require the assistance and CO.
operation of the entire community
Harrington Firemen Add 10
Building Fund.
The regular monthly meeting OF
the Harrington Fire Co. was held
Monday evening with President Geo.
W. Swain in the chair and only a
small number present. The regular
routine of business was transacted
which included the acceptance OF
the application of William Moore
and James Green for membership.
The chief business of the evening
was the report of the carnival COM
mittee. 1t was found that after
all bills had been settled the sum of
$500 was the net proceeds. 1t
seems that despite the fact the COM
mittee exercised their best judgment
in handling the situation, they were
not able to bring the net proceeds
up to their anticipation. The COM
mittee accepted much criticism on
several items of expense, and the
officers of the department in gen
eral were criticized for the manner
in which the department is run.
Much of the criticism comes from
citizens who have no connection
with the fire department, nor do
they see fit to invest $3.50 for men,
bership, so that they might exercise
their authority. If the opinion of
some of the officers as expressed at
last NIGHTS meeting is carried into
effect, it is very likely that some OF
those who desire to run the depart
ment by words will be given an op-
portunity at the next meeting when
officers for the coming year will be
nominated. 1t is well known
fact that a fire department cannot
be run with words, but that there
must be some action, and that the
life of a volunteer fireman is not
always pleasant, especially when
they answer an alarm at midnight
with the thermometer standing
around the zero point. After some
little discussion the company voted
permission to Chief Potter to enter
the Firemens parade at Milford to-
morrow evening. They Will be ac-
companied by the Harrington Band.
The building fund now on interest
was increased to $1,000, when On
vote of the company they decided to
mt away 5000 OF their funds, the
balance to be used for current eX-
penses. The superintendent Of sup
plies was instructed to purchase 3
dozen hand extinguisher, recharges.
Another new plan was adopted at
the meeting. Nothing whatever can
be purchased on the account of the ,
fire company until an order made
out in duplicate and signed by the
secretary has been secured. The
original will be left with the mer-
chant who must enclose it with any
bills submitted to the company for
payment and the duplicate copy Of
the order will be placed on file by
the secretary.
