High Number OF
Calls Noted BY
County Firemen

According to the Association of
Volunteer Firemen, the increase of
fires during the spring months is
appalling. A county law requires
citizens to build their brush fires
after PM, but this is violated
many times.
Mark Reid, of the Association
lists the following calls answered
throughout the county for the past
month; 20 dwelling fires; 2 barn
fires; 10 chimney; IL automobiles;
8 sheds and 60 field and wood fires.
With over $49,97O in damage
from fires done in the county last
month, many resulting from care
lessness, an appeal is issued
through the Association that fam
lilies exercise more care in and out
side of homes. Periodical check
ups should be made of wiring,
heating plants, motors and other
objects that may cause blaze.

ton and told of the activities and
problems of their groups. Repres-
ented were the Girl Scouts and
Brownies, Boy Scouts and Cubs,

crease in numbers of young people
in our town.
Mrs. Mae Fraley stated there

100 Girl Scouts and Brownies.
Many applications for membership
have been received which cannot be
considered. Also they work under
great hardship because they have
no one meeting place to can their
own.
Mrs. William Swingle reported
that Brownie Troop 189 has been
without a permanent assistant
most of the winter. In order to
continue their activities, another
troop has met with 189 so that the

Use Of Sodium FIuoride
To Be Shown In Schools

this program are anxious chat a
correct understanding be had Of
the limitations of the use Of flu
bride. They stress;
(1) Fluoride does not prevent
all future decay and other means
OF preventing and correcting decay
must still be practiced
(2) Application of fluoride effects
reduction in decay in those teeth
present at the time of treatment.
Hence, repetition of the series Of
four applications is essential as
new permanent teeth erupt.
(3) Applications may be made
only by trained dental personnel.
1t is anticipated that the team
will spend the balance of the pres
ent school year in Montgomery
County. All of the designated chill
dren of the selected schools will be
treated unless parents specifically
request otherwise.

why wasn't Al Rosen selected by

so naturally he Is the first Src
baseman but that does not justify
leaving Rosen out completely. He
has played good ball all year and
leads both leagues in home runs
Had he been in the National League
he would have won the third base
spot hands down. Yet Stengel
saw fit to leave him off the all
star team. Frankly Speaking 1t
looks like q raw deal to me. Stengel
found room for Joe Dimaggio who
did not turn out to be a favorite
of the fans this year. With eight
yankees on a 20 man team and a
yankee manager. it looks like some
favoritism some where. The fans
and sporting ethics demand 1t. Al
Rosen must be given at least an
honorary spot on the all-star team.
Here and There
Time was when Fireman" Joe
Page was being heralded as the
greatest relief pitcher baseball has
ever known. But today it seems
as though the old fireman has no
more fire left and young Jim Con-
stanti has taken over the role OF
best relief pitcher in the majors.
A. B. Happy" Chandler, present
commissioner of baseball was once
a football scout and figured in one
of the greatest upsets in football
history. Babe Ruth hit two hon.
ers in one game no less than
seventy two times in his major
league career. Pee wee Reese was
once a marble champion in his

gram at the General Election in
November, Secretary of State Earl
Coe predicted this week as it ap-
peared that both Initiatives 176

The two welfare initiatives were
the sole survivors of a field of five
proposed measures for which spon-
sors have been seeking signatures
for the past several weeks.
Three other initiatives on world
government, juvenile protection
and increased unemployment fell
by the wayside as sponsors failed
in their efforts to obtain the re-
quired $4,000 signatures.
Initiative 176, sponsored by the
Washington Pension Union and
calling for increased social security
benefits, was filed with the Sec
rotary of State carrying an esti-
mated 100000 names.
Initiative 17s, sponsred by Gov
ernor Langlie. and calling for a
curtailment of social security
spending, was filed with something
over 10000 names.
Since the mortality rate on
initiative signatures runs about
20 percent, Mr.. Coe declared that
it was a mathematical certainty
the two measures would appear on

If a dish of water is placed in

To insure good results when
