Our Fire Hazard
Is a Crying Need

You most likely have heard of
or about the Siameese Twins.
when one dies, the other is con-
demned to death because being
united together they have no
choice. How are we different from
the Siameese Twins, in case of
fire? When one home burns that
not only means one, but God only
knows how many Eevr hear or
read about the Chicago Fire of
1871? They were pioneers just as
we are now; but that fateful day
a strong wind blew and just about
burned the whole city. Just this
last year the city of Chicago had
another history-making fire, and
for a time it looked like the great
city was again to be destroyed by
fire. Let us not make history say
ing that we were burned out. Let
us prevent making that kind of
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES to prevent
fires.
Here's my suggestion:
Have each and every building
here in Wheeler furnish itself with
a fire extinguisher. Your home
and furnishings on these cold COM
ing winter days are sure worth
the price Of a fire extinguisher. I
am not a fire-extinguisher sales.
man, just a plain everyday resi-
dent of Wheeler and if my sueses-
ton is accepted by the far seeing
people of the town of Wheeler, I
am sure a fire extinguisher will be
in each and every Wheeler home.
Here is how we can get together.
Fill out application blank, giving
name. block number and lot num-
Der; stating you are willing to CO.
operate, then bring in your Ap-
plication to the Fort Peck Press
office in Wheeler. l get the O
operation of the Wheeler residents.
| will let you know through the
Press what the cost will be. This
is not a profit making scheme, its
just for protection of yours and
mine, BY buying a large quantity
the cost should be small.
The purpose of getting all the
Wheeler folks interested is to form
a volunteer fire fighting crew. Di-
vide the town Of Wheeler into
four sections: North, South, East
and West and in each section
have a fire alarm; say an angle
iron, to be sounded only in case
OF fire. Have each and every resi-
dent pledged to answer the alarm
in that section, and in case of a
fire that is hard to get under con-
troll, ali alarms should be sounded
and answered.
All transactioes will be through

ers and residents already having
a fire exringuisher need only sign
the pledge card, stating they will
cooperate. Remember this is only
a suggestion and awaiting your
approval.

Folks who like their baseball

an opportunity to become satiated
tonight at Wilson field when the

pleasant warfare.

why can hardly be decided.
A strong-arm squad will be on
hand to protect the Legion's rights

Elks will get what the army politely
termed police duty" but which
wasn't that at all. The Elks also
plan to keep what belongs to them
and any of the herd who slide. OIL

they had better sense.
AS though the interviewer rela-

enough to complicate affairs, re-
ports are that Tommy" Thomas

course the umpire choosers could
have done worse-they might have
pulled in Tom Reams and Burt

To add to the confusion, the
Sciots have challenged the winners
to a game later on and precautions
are to be taken to see that they
don't sprinkle tacks from the side
lines so as to make their battle a
little easier.
The ex-soldiers, gobs and ma
rines are today demanding that the
I. D. r. be used in governing the
game while the members of the
antlered herd are insisting that the
B. p. o. E. ritual or maybe the

should be used.
