SMALL MoMTNTs

To everyone, omewhere a.
long life's road, there come
small moments of beauty,
peace or Joy. Some day you will
need to run back down the
weary lane of years and fetch
one back to give you solace
ryand comfort. No one is so
bereft that life has not offer
ed him some small compensa-
tions. The thing is to be able
to see beauty when it appears,
to hear joy-bellS when they
ring, to taste the sweetness of
an hour when it is yours. We
are all too unaware of beauty
are it fades, for it never lin
gers. 1t comes, it goes. Such
moments are small enough to
pack away and keep forever,
large enough to lean against

RED HANDS

There is no woman who
does not wish to have lovely
hands. It is not necessary for
them to be slender and taper
ing, for even short pudgy
hands have a beauty all their
own. The fact s, they should
be kept in fine condition, not
red and cracked and rough,
nor wrinkled. Try these sim
pie remedies nd your hands,
no matter their shape, can be
lovely. Rub them with lemon
juice at night. Follow by a
of nourishing creams.
Provided they are kept clean
and manicured, you too, may
have lovely hands.

Money Would Solve An Ache

munity without biting off more than the
taxpayers can chew For this the people
should be thankful.
Any criticism of the fire department
personnel was hardly in keeping with good
taste since they aren't carrying out their
duties for the monetary compensation.
Their sole desire is to be of service in the
community. If you doubt this, check the
records and ask yourself if you would
endure the hardships of fire fighting for
such a pathetic pay.
The malfunction of equipment at the
school fire clearly embassies the need for
not only equipment which the town cannot
afford bur it also points to the need Of
making one person responsible for the con-
dition of the equipment.
Such q move would mean extra hours
of work for the chosen individual but we
would expect the person to be duly COM
pensated for his labor as we'll as his respon-
sibility.
Even with proper maintenance work
on the present truck the need for new
equipment would still exist But it would
be an Improvement over the system now
maintained
The purchase of the new truck is in
the near future but it will take the CO.
operation of all citizens to make it a reality
If as mach effort We're devoted to payment
of taxes as there is in pickering about how
others do their jobs, the new fire trucl
would have been in the station severa

When local volunteer fremen at
tempted to eXtinguIsh the flames during
the recent high school fire, their efficiency
was hndered by a slight mechanical
defect in the equipment.
There is remote possibility that the
building could have been saved. No one
will ever be able to say for certain what
the outcome would have been had the
equipment functioned properly Besides,
all of the second guessing in the world
wouldn't restore the building.
An immediate cry for a new fire truck
was on the lips of everyone present.
Despite this cry the town commissioners
stuck by their guns and said when we can
see our way financially we will order a
new truck"

There isn't commissioner on the board

if they could list the new fire truck as one
of their accomplishments while serving the
two-year term. Even this selfish thought.
