Another Franklin Achievement

AnOtnef Ffanklln achievement
Because of the nature of his WORK
and the colorful times in which he
lived, most Americans have little ap.
probation of the achievements and
genius of Benjamin Franklin, whom
historians rank along with Washing
ton in assigning credit for making
America a nation and who had more
than little to do with writing the
Declaration of Independence and
framing the Constitution.
At various times it has been devel-
oped that Franklin was America IS
first real printer; that he was the
country's first almanacker and that,
as a scientist and inventor he was
second only to Edison-and there is
room for doubt about the justice Of
that rating. All this in addition to
being the greatest diplomat the
country has produced.
But, now that fire-prevention week
Is just around the corner, those who
dig after historical facts come to
light with the assertion that Frank
lin organized the first fire depart
ment in America. This was in Phila-
delphia in 1736. he having joined with
four other men to organize the
Union Fire Company in that year.
There we're 80 men in this mutual
assistance company and each ono
equipped himself with six leather
buckets for water and two linen bags
for salvaging household goods. The
company met eight times year at 2
dinner for which they paid three
shillings. This Is believed to be the
first service club. Whenever q con-
flagration started in q neighborhood,
Union members in the vicinity pus
a light in their front window and
brother members SO recognized the
house which they were to protect.
Later a metal fire mark" was pat
on each Union house. The Unicn
lasted "a years and was the basis for
fire fighting units long after Frark-
lin died.
Besides organizing fire fighting.
Franklin also introduced many fire
prevention laws for building, and
public use. He advocated use of
brick, stone and stucco: cleaning
chimneys regularly; and building
deep and fireproof hearths. In 1852
Franklin organized the first fire in
surance company, mutual carrier
now doing business In Philadelphia.
Those Of us who interest ourselves
in fire prevention during the week
of October will be following in the
footsteps of one Of the great geniuses
Of the nation-or perhaps it would
be more accurate to say in the foot
steps Of a genius who helped to bring
the nation into being.

their national policy in a clear. un-
ambiguous manner. I say intention
ally national policy as I hope and
believe the reply Of the German gov
eminent, both as regards its form
and contents, embodie,s the desires
of an overwhelming majority of the
Germans.
g.. I believe I can say with full
right that all attempts of the enemy
to drive a wedge between the Ger
man people and the German govern
ment on the question of the basis Of
our foreign policy and by the propa-
cation of the fiction that the Ger
man people do not stand behind the
kaiser and the imperial chancellor
will be repulsed by the support given
to this document"
