w. A. Babe" Turner has again
been appointed Fire Prevention
Week Chairman by Chief Bonnie
Dave, Jr. Both Turner and Dave
have stressed the fact that while
this week is the period during
which a concentrated effort is
made to acquaint the public with
fire prevention, every day of the
year should be treated as Fire
Prevention Day.. The death toll
from fire last year was 1880
and the property loss exceeded 81
billion. 1t is the hope of your local
department and authorities
throughout the United States that
the emphasis on Fire Prevention
Week will help stem this tragic
loss of live and property.
Again this year, your local de-
partment will spend an entire week
| giving talks, demonstrations, films
and programs relating to fire
prevention. 1t is the aim of the
department to reach as many
Richland County residents as pos
sible during this week of concen-
trated effort and Chairman Turner
has arranged for meetings which
will touch just about every COM
munity and school in the county.
Monday, October S., at 1890 am.
there will be a meeting at the
RidgelaWn school for both Ridge
lawn and Hardy school students
and teachers. At 2:30 on October,
5, members of the department will
meet at the Sioux Pass Hall for
Sioux Pass, Andes, Doran, Cherry
Creek, Hay Creek, Bronson, East
Lone Butte, Riverview and Mis-
souri, Bridge schools. Tuesday at
1920 am. they will meet at the
Crane School for Crane, Anderson,
Newton, Larsen and Washington
schools. At 2:30 on October 7, a
meeting will be held at the Elm
dale Hall for Elmdale, Grandview,
Arthur, Goss, Timmons, Arm
strong, Prosperous Valley and

Wednesday the program will be
presented to the Sidney schools.

AMBULANCE
SERVICE HERE

In accordance with previous an
nouncements, Sidney Funeral Dir
ectors have discontinued ambul-
ance service, dismantled ambul-
ance equipment and cancelled
their ambulance liability insurance
today.
Mr.. Kenneth Chadderdon, in an
interview with the Herald, said
mo substitute ambulance service
is as yet available" Chadderdon,
chairman of the City Council Am
bulance Committee, said, several
proposals fer substitute service
have been presented but were I'M
satisfactory because of insufficient
revenue. Any substitute ambul-
ance service for Richland County,"
he said, must be subsidized by
some means. We have been inform
ed there is no authorization for the
expenditure Of public funds for
this purpose" Quoting a Sidney
Funeral Director, Mr.. Chadderdon
said, "a private operator, even with
an increased fee schedule. would
require a subsidy of at least 49,
10000 annually in addition to the
fees he would be able to collect in
order to maintain an adequate
service"
Sidney Funeral Directors, stated
ambulance service was incompat-
ible with the function of a funeral
