ussex county was speaking in the |
range on the subject of Fire Pro-
2ction on the Farm" He prefaced
is remarks by saying that he had {
cen burned out three times. He !
we'd about eight miles from the (
aarest fire company. In such a
tuation rugged individualism" is b
elpless. Social cooperation is in b
spenGable. When a fire company A
sponds to call to fire and there \
no adequate supply of water near \
2, their apparatus is an useless as 6

strategic places in tho numerous Z,

IRIS should be marked on large NJ
