TAKE IT EASY, DRIVER

Fire Chief Harry Baker, warning that
to fires is certain to result in a serious acct
dent, has added his voice to the others
which have been pleading with motorists
to take it little easy.
Chasing the fire engine or ambulance
is nothing new It is dangerous sport
however. and when carried to extremes as
it has been in Key West, the game en-
dangers too many lives to be- worth the
candle.
Drivers who pay no attention to reg
ulations in heading at top speed for fire
might take moment to consider how many
peoples lives and property they are en-
dangering First, the driver endangers his
own life and those of his companions, but
since most of them would answer, that's up
to me- we'll let it go at that, and
agree.
It's against the law to commit suicide,
but if you like it that way, go ahead.
The reckless driver, however, is
cheerily taking chances with the lives of
pedestrians, other motorists, the firemen,
and the persons who live in the building
which is burning.
The only answer is strict enforcement
of driving regulations, and by forcing the
issue, some of the local speed demons prob
ably are going to succeed in landing in jail
before they succeed in getting themselves
killed.
And, on the subject of fires the crowds
gathered around the small blaze at the bus
station Sunday night succeeded in blocking
traffic to point where the fire fighters had
much more than their normal quota of diff
ficulty in keeping the place from burn
ing up.
Cars parked in front of the fire n.y.
drants also slowed up operations.
The firemen would like to know, since
they are working only to prevent disaster
in city built overwhelmingly of
wood
What are the chances of little CO.
operation from you?"

FOSTERS SONGS

A little more than 100 years ago there
was born near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania,
Stephen Collins Foster, whose best known
songs have stirred the emotions of four gen.
erations, ard live today in the hearts of his
countrymen as do those of no other Amer
lean.
Millions who have sung and heard
them never knew the name of their author.
He was of quiet and retiring disposition,
delicate as child and never robust. He be-
gan writing songs at the age of ID, and by
the time he was 20 his compositions had
gained considerable favor. He wrote in all
about 152 songs, of which the most famous
have Southern setting, although he was
born, lived and died. in the North.
Among Fosters songs which had
universal appeal may be mentioned "Old
Black Joe" "Old Folks at Home "Massas
in the Cold, Cold Ground" and the ex-
quisite vocal quartette Come Where My
Love Lies Dreaming" These and others
have been popular on both sides of the At
lantic and their words have been translated
into many tongues. Great musicians incor-
porated several of these melodies into Ella
borate concert fantasies.
Foster wrote both words and music of
his songs, which made an epoch in popular
music. He died in poverty in New York in
1864. but his plaintive. haunting melodies
seem destined for Immortality.
A magnificent memorial, costing half
a million dollars. has been erected near his
birthplace.

Sixty Holstein- Friesian cattle,

Holsteins come from the Meth

He was on the banks at South

Suddenly he felt tug and

Just then a shark about six feet
long appeared and before young
Frank could get out of the way.
the fish had made a snap at his

The shark seemed determined
