Increasing Number Of Missing
 Garments Prompts Action

Because of the large number of thefts of clothing that have been re- ported at the Senior high school by students, the authorities have de Cided to lock up the dressing rooms during the class periods. They will be opened between periods and be- fore and after school.
 From time to time the authori- ties have urged the students to be sure and mark their clothing to prove ownership in case of an ar gument but this did not decrease the number of thefts so finally tho locking Of the cloak rooms had to be adopted.
 Hardly a day has passed this semester without one or two over coats having been stolen and every time that a rainy day came along a great many rainCoats were stolen. The school authorities have been trying to believe that these cases were unintentional and were caused by confusion of the student when trying to pick out his or her Coa. from the large number hung in the dressing rooms. Apparently this was not the case, so from now on students will not have to worry about their clothes while in classes

FIRE LOSSES IN
EL CENTRIC SHOW
SMALL FIGURE

The lowest fire loss in 10 years
was recorded in FL Centre during
1928 with the estimated damage
placed at $ll.l45. Loss from fire
in 1927 amounted to about $4,000
and in 1928 to approximately $40
eco.
The splendid showing is due to the
fact that Fire Chief Tom Rcams has
never slackcncd in the fire prevcn-
tion campaign conducted here dur
ing his administration
Careful inspections are made rcgu-
larly throughout the city and the
business district is constantly pa
trolled and all objects constituting
4 fire menace Immediately destroy
I'd when found.
While the annual fire prevention
week was in progress, talks and
programs illustrating the destruction
to life and property which result
from conflagrations that in most
instances might have been prevent.
were presented in the schools and
before service clubs and other or
CARNATIONS.
Although the fire fighting force is
composed mostly of volunteers the
excellent showing the firemcn have
made in getting at the scene of 4
blaze and hating its progress, has
proved the efficiency of the depart
mcnt
chief RcamS admitted il was =
good record but declared il could
have been better. .If all defective
water heaters, oil lamps and damag.
Cd and improperly installed electric
wiring were done away with, the
fire loss would be reduced far below
what it is today the chief said.
"Owncrs of homes. business, in
dustrial and other buildings in most
instances realize what care means in
cutting down the fire loss but If
that care were increased Just n little
moro the loss the human life and
valuable property from fire would
be decreased to an almost unbcliev-
able EXTENT the chief said.
During the year there were about
IS fires and Of that number damage
OF $40 and over was reported in p
eases. There We're only three fires
in 1928 that destroyed over $1,000
