A hook and ladder apparatus
brought to the demonstration by a
York fire company, was a wonder,
especially to the younger generation.
1t was an innovation in fire APP
paratus construction up to that time.
Mechanically operated, it shot the
ladder upward to a great height,
upon which ladder firemen quickly
climbed. This was wonderful. The
name of the apparatus was "Rex,"
meaning King. The boys were so
fired with enthusiasm that every kid
in town started to make such an APP
paratus. OF course, it was miniature,
but the boys climbed up on it and it
was a miracle. says one who re
members it, that some lad was not
killed.

In the last two Horse & Buggy
Day columns told you about the big
State Fireman's Convention held
here in 1895, so let's wind up the
story this week, with an account of
the big parade that was held in con-
nection with the convention
Hundreds of firemen were here.
The first visiting companies to ar
rive were the Alexandria, Va, and
the Annapolis firemen, coming here
in a special train over the B & o.
After reaching the First Hose Hall,
Mayor M. L. Keedy, as member of
the First Hose Company, delivered
an address of welcome. Other COM
panies here were. the Frostburg and
Homecoming contingents, Frederick,
,Charlestown, Waynesboro, Win
chester, Shepherdstown, Martins
burg, Gettysburg, York, Chambers
burg, Carlisle, Baltimore and Cum
berland. The account of the parade
told in minute detail how the fire
men were dressed. They evidently
made colorful appearance as they
marched along. President j. Roger
McSherry, of the Maryland State
Volunteer Association, wore a most
gorgeous white badge with gilt let
tiers.
Jesse Derr, the nine-year- old
drum major of the Independent
Drum Corps, Frederick, was a won
der. A horse ran away with a bug
gy on North Potomac Street, but no
damage ensued. The B & o Branch
train coming in at 9:35 am had four
well-flled coaches, with the engine
gaily trimmed. The Junior arch at
Franklin and Potomac Streets, was
beauty. The men who fashioned
it with green's and colors, displayed
a taste that was artistic in the ex-
IRENE. 1t was a splendid sweep,
graceful, prettily decorated, and
ranked the workmen who put it uo
as high art mechanics. The Com
monwealth of Harrisburg was es-
corted from the c. V. depot by the
First Hose Company. The band
members wore dark blue uniforms
and played Maryland, My Mary
land'' while marching down the
street. Waynesboro had a large
turnout. At $40 am, train with
six coaches, all crowded, pulled in
over the Western Maryland Short
ly a second section came in with
three more coaches. w. S. Smiths |
horse got bad fright from the
music.
When the idea of having the cele-
bration was fairly in shape, commit
tees from each fire company were
appointed, and finally the matter was
left to the wisdom, discretion, enter
prise and energy of a general execu-
tive committee, composed of three
members from each company as fol-
lows:
T. E. McCardell, DR.. C. E. s. Nc
Kee, Charles Webb, J. c. E. Heard,
Colonel w M. Mobley, Augustus
Helmet, John H. Middlekauff, DR..
S. j. Wishard, Lauran F. Smith, D.
M. Hurley, W. K. Hoffman, H. K.
Rocker, Frank Wroe, Jack Hellane
and George E. Shif1er.
With these a number of sub-com-
mittees were appointed as follows:

ing, H. K. Hoch, w. H. Dunn, J. M.

chimneys. Others are caused by
rusted or cracked pipes and fit
tings. Look over your heating sys-
tenn now. If your chimney needs
it, clean it out. If the furnace
pipes and connections are cracked
and rusted, replace them.
Teach your family not to put
magazines, papers, or clothing on
radiators or near open flames.
Don't hang fiimsy curtains near
your kitchen stove. Don't allow
lamp shades to come in contact
with light bulbs. Remember that
such things don't have to touch
flame to burn. They will catch fire
simply because they are too close
to the heat for too long.
Gasoline, benzine, naptha, and
similar fluids should never be used
indoors. When mixed with air,
their Vapors can be ignited by the
spark of a light switch or an
electric fan, or the tiny flame of a
pilot light. Keep such fluids in
tightly closed metal containers
outside your home.
And remember: oil-soaked rags,
especially rags that have been
used to spread quick-drying liquids
such as turpentine, paint thinners,
and some furniture polishes, can
catch fire by themselves. Oily rags
should be stored in air-tight metal
containers. 1t is best to keep them
outside the house.

The majority Of all fires start in
trashpiles, rubbish, or stored odds
and ends that accumulate around
the house. Closets, attics, and
cellars are the main source of
home fires, and plain ordinary good
housekeeping is a strong line of
defense against them.
Clean out your storage places.
You will be surprised at how many
burnable odds and ends are really
useless to you. Don't let them
make your home a fire hazard. Get
rid of them. If local welfare
agencies can't use them, call the
junk man.
Don't stop when you've cleared
out the inside Of your house. Go
after rubbish in your back yard, in
alleys and in vacant lots near your
home. Collect the rubbish and burn
it. Don't leave it around to burn if
an enemy bombs your city. Be
sure to burn rubbish in metal
containers.
Take a look at your electrical
system. Buy new plugs and cords
if yours are worn. Get advice from
an electrician if your fuses blow
frequently. They may be danger
ously overloaded. His advice may
prevent bad fire.
Every winter costly fires are
started by faulty furnaces, stoves,
and other heating plants. Some
result from too much SCOT in

Now It's How Many
 Troops to Europe?

WASHINGTON, (R-The great troops-to-E Europe debate appeared to be simmering down to one question: How many?
 And the answer may depend largely on what Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower has to say when he re- turns at the end of the month from a pulse-feeling tour of European capitals.
 In the meantime, Senator Taft R.-Ohio) threatened to carry to the Senate floor his fight to limit the number of American troops in the European defense line.
 Taft, who heads the Republican policy committee, said yesterday that he's willing to send some troops in the European defense line.
 Taft, who heads the Republican policy committee, said yesterday that he's willing to send some troops but he thinks this nation should depend for security on "ab- solute control of the sea and the air"
 Today he told reporters if the foreign relations committee fails to put a foot soldier limitation in proposed new legislation, he will fight to amend the measure in the Senate itself.
 "I don't think anyone will know until General Eisenhower makes his report just what the limitation should be or whether it should be made in the form of a ceiling on the number of divisions or in the form of a percentage limit on the American contribution" Taft said.

Do Alaskans Want
 Statehood Under
 New Proposed Bill?

Continued from Page One) Senate bill
 Dated January 16, 1851. Dear Grant:
 I figure that there are some 375 million acres of land in Alaska. The bill provides for some 100000 acres to be turned over to the state from public forests and public lands and some 215 million acres for state institutions. Then five years after statehood, the state will be granted 20 million acres. Then the bill reads, Thai said state and its people do agree and declare that they FOREVER disclaim all right and file 10 any lands or other property not grant, ed 10 the state under inc authority of this act." That would mean that Alaska would be forever under the dominance and jurisdiction of the Department of the Interior. Halibut fisheries, fur seal, sea ot- ter all under the absolute control of the Federal Government. I think that it is worth holding a meeting on. Perhaps the Chamber 
 of Commerce would take it up."
