of building permits for work done by themselves in their own homes
 Mayor Waino HendrickSon com mended Assessor Toner upon his report, which was then turned over to become the basis from which the Council will work next week as a Board of Equalization.
 1 Fire Equipment Changes i Making a rare appearance before the Council Fire Chief Minard Mill last night suggested changes in 1 the list of new equipment for the Fire Department which the Council had approved at the previous meeting. He asked that two air. compressor type, all-purpose fire masks be substituted for the four new oxygen masks approved by the Council. The all-purpOse masks would allow 1iremen to work under water-if any of them want to go into the icy waters around here-or would allow them to re- main for long periods in smcke- filled structures.
 Chief Mill also urged that two, instead of enc "siamese" bumper fittings be ordered, so that two trucks might be equipped with them considerably to increase the Departments efficiency particular ly in higher sections of the town where water pressure is reduced.
 Both the above requests of the Chief were approved.
 Mill also declared the fire alarm system is in need of overhaul and renewing in some portions. The bulk of the system, he said, was in- stalled in 1913. A number of breaks in the alarm system occurred last year.

Mrs. Bluethenthal agreed with
the other speakers that the Bell

After the speakers expressed
themselves, a round table discus
sion followed with Claude Howell,
local artist, agreeing with Miss
Hall, that the home might be used
for an art center for all arts.

this period should be preserved.
Mrs. Charles Bragg, president of

Presidents Wilson and Taft were

Mrs. Wallace West explained to
the group that it would be a big
proposition for the city to under
take the responsibility because it
would keep taxes high and that
she thought private groups could
go together to preserve it.
Mrs. J. H. Gerdes suggested that
a committee be formed to work on
this and went on to suggest that

First P%eacetime
Poppy Day Set For
Saturday May rs

Saturday, May Is, will mark the
observance of Americas first
peace time Poppy Day since l941.
With the largest part of the World
War II battle deaths occurring in
northern Europe where the poppy
grows, the poppy bears double
meaning this year.
It was not until 1921, three years
after the signing of the Armistice,
that the first poppy sale was held,
sponsored by the Legion and Aux
iliary, but these first roppies were
not made in this country, having
been produced by French widows
and orphans and fashioned out of
silk. In 1922 the first American
peoples were made by American
veterans in hospitals in Minnesota,
and this work has steadily expand
ed until peoples are now made in
hospitals and disabled veterans
workrooms in 40 different states.
The idea of the poppy as a me-
mortal flower for the World war
dead sprang up as naturally as
the poppy itself grows in the fields
of France and Flanders. The flow
er was the one touch of beauty
that survived amid the hideous de-
struction of war. 1t seems to be
the one immortal thing in that
land of trenches, tangled barbed
wire, ragged shell holes, and fresh

is typical of pre-civil war days with

veloped in Europe. The south, tied

Miss Hall explained the Bellamy

in concluding said, "it would be a
wonderful place to share the
