Firemen's Halloween Festival

Everyone is entering whoeheartedy in the
Firemen's Halloween Festival which is to be
given here the Public Square, Oct 30-31. This
is not to be just McConnelsville affair, but it is
to be made county wide, since the hremens ser
vices extend 70 the country. More than 80 per-
cent of the iremen's calls are to the country Re
member the fren1en are all working men, and
the instant the fire siren is sounded, they drop
everything and for the scene Of the fire,
drowning, whatever the call for assistance
may be. Often they spend several hours-day
and night away from their businesses and homes
The money raised gees into the treasury of the
Ere company, and remember none of it is used as
compensation for the fremen. They give of their
service gratis, and whatever money they receive
goes to purchase more and better equipment in
order that they can make their services still more
efficient.
Words of gratitude and praise come from all
parts of the county for hremen. The interest
in their festival will be the opportunity many
have been waiting for to demonstrate more or
less in substantial manner However if that IS
impossible, at least show your interest by being
present.

1t got dark as I was entering a
Swiss town called Bellinzona. I
was still in the mountains. I would
stop here. At an oldish- looking
hotel they said they could put me
up for the night. But I had better
drive my car around and inside the

We drove out together and stopped

the yelling began.
1t was almost as loud as the YELL

walked too close to their turret on
the Strasbourg Bridge. And this
yelling was all done by just one man.
He was waving his arms around and
looking straight at me. There was
no mistaking the tone of his voice.
He was sore about something. Good
and sore.
I finally got the one word "ca-

They told me in Zurich that the
