Praises Firemen Of Glendale


as well as his own as to the charac-
ter, energy and go ahead spirit which
has always been shown by the fire
men of this town. At no time, night
or day have these men failed to re-
spond to the sound of the siren
and go forward to try to save homes
which were threatened with destruc-
ton. 1t is easy to sit in the sew
eral stores of the town and crltlclse
the doings of these men but it gen.
orally comes from those who nelth-
er take any part or go with them
on their mission to help some one
in trouble. Yet if some of the
homes (if they have one) of these
trouble finders should take fire they
would be the first to ask the help
of these much maligned set of men,
Not only from those who gossip in
the stores does this criticism come,
but from homes and people that
should know better. 1t is true that
some people could not be satisfied
unless they were allowed to loose
their tongues in saying those things
which would bring sorrow or IN
Jury to their fellow beings. And
some who are guilty of these de-
spicible things and peddle scandal
by the wholesale claim to belong TO
the Household of Faith we regret
to say.
Let the good citizens of this town
and surrounding country take OH
their hats to the Glendale firemen.
They are a gallant set of men, al
ways alert and ready at all times to
20 to the assistance of those who
are in need of their services.
Let those who believe i'll them
rally to their aid and help to place
the five department in better shape
in the way of equipment so as the
boys will in a more systematic way
be able to fight the fires which oc-
cur in the future.
We may also add to this COM
munication the fact, that the Ellen
dale Fire Brigade saved hundreds
acres of timber during the past year,
which without their help would have
been destroyed. They are fully
equipped for fighting forest fires,
being supplied by the State Forestry
Commission with the necessary par
aphernalia for subduing such out
breaks.
Night Schools Close
Both of the schools which have
been holding their sessions in the
public school building for the last
ten weeks have closed for the sea-
son. The lessons on civil and parlia-
mentary law given by Mr.. Burk-
holder was we'll received by those
in attendance. To many it was
something new and opened up a
more advanced way of thinking, as
well as doing things. Mr.. and Mrs.
Guyer, who had the singing school
in charge, showed that they were
masters of the subject of which they
taught.
1t is a great pity that many more
of our people had not taken advan-
tage of this free tuition, so gener-
ously offered and become more eff
ficient in the way of securing a mus
ical education.
We hope that when another sea-
son rolls around, we may prevail
upon Mr.. Burkholder and Mr.. and
Mrs. Guyer to give us another term
of their wonderful work.
COngratulates DR.. Hopkins
The writer may be a little late
but nevertheless he is going to extend
to DR.. Robert B. Hopkins his hearty
congratulations on his election as
mayor of the town of Milton. we
believe that DR.. Hopkins is one of
those progressive citizens who will
accomplish much if allowed to have
his way.
Pessimists and sore heads will
have to flee for shelter ere the term
for which he is elected shall come
to an end.
Will Soon Need A Bank
Glendale will soon need bank.
When President Hoover gets his farm
relief bill through Congress and it
becomes the law of the land, what
will the farmers do with their
money. It will be so plentiful that
they must have some place to de-
post it.
oh, yes! Glendale must certain
Iy have a bank or trust company.
Ebe T. Wilson, track foreman, is
on the sick list. Robert Harris, of
Clayton, will occupy the place until
such time as Mr.. Wilson may re-
cover sufficiently to occupy his old
position.
Be Careful OF Fires
People who reside in both town |
and country should be very careful |
in starting fires outdoors at this |
time of the year. No fire should be
started while the wind is blowing,
as the breeze generally starts when
the flames begin to spread. AL
ways have plenty of help at hand in
case the fire gets away from you. II
you cannot subdue it quickly, send
for the fire company.
Hundreds of homes and thousands
Of acres of growing timber have
been destroyed, through the care
lessness of those who have this dan
gerous work in hand.
The latest news from the Beebe
Hospital at Lewes is that Miss Ell
ner Short is convalescing rapidly.
Burton Millman seems to improve
very slowly.
From the home of Charles Belts,
near Union Church, is that he is
no improvement whatever.
Fruit Trees in Bloom
The fruit trees are showing at the
present time panoroma Of beauty.
rhe plum, peach and pear trees are
tut in full bloom. The cherry and
apple trees will follow soon after.
Vow is the critical time. Heavy
rosts or a freeze would come near
ending the hopes of the farmers and
,thn.-c in having q fruit ornn this
