the superior fire power of the fort
A full SCALE battle on the lawn in
front of the fort will occur.
Following the engagement tn e

marched through the fort by
Union guards to simulate work de-
tails by prisoners and there will
be pickets staged at various points

Field Day For Firemen
In Sussex Marred
By Gas Blast

The safety valves on propane gas
tanks are supposed to blow them
selves off when heat becomes too
intense, making the tank a torch.
This is to keep the tanks from ex-
ploding in event of a fire by reliev-
ing the pressure, Coleman explain
ed.
This was the idea behind | "a t
Sundays demonstration, Coleman
said A fire was to be lit under
the tank and when the safety valve
blew off fog nozzle would be used
to eNtinguish the fire.
About rs persons, were on hand
to witness the demonstration about
3:35 pm, Coleman said. A fire was
lit under the tank but after sew
eral minutes the safety valve still
had not blown off.
Suddenly, according to Coleman,
the tank exploded showering TIL e
onlookers, including many women
and children, with burning gas and
hot metal.
'T h ere was a split-secOnd
'whoom' and the flaming gas shot
out over everyone" Coleman, n
eyewitness, said.
He said Carey was down on his
hands and knees, near the pit and
looking down into it, when the ex-
plosion occurred.
Carey clothes Immediately
burst into flames and he began to
stagger away" Coleman said A
fireman ran up to Carey and be-
gan tearing off the clothes.
There was a mOmentary panic
when the explosion occurred, h e
said but firemen from the % conn
panies ait the event soon began
calming and treating the victims.
Numerous rescue trucks and a
large quantity of first aid equip
ment we're on hand, officials said
The firemen treated some victims

them to hospitals in the fire COM

OPEN THE WINDOWS

Have you ever worked in a
stuffy room in the Sprin gtime
when the windows were still bolt
ed against the Winters storms
The very air you breathed W a S
stifling and thick. You wanted to
get out as fast as you could so
you could take a deep lung-full of
good fresh air. Then, unable to
hold yourself to the work at hand
any longer, you suddenly opened
the window, threw back the cur
tains, and from the outside, there
came the fine sweet fresh air of
Spring. 1t was like a tonic, you
became a new person.
So it is with some of our lodge
meetings. We meet to transact the
business ait hand-the practice of
those tenets which we have been
taught are the basis upon which
the superstructure of Odd Fellow
ship rests. Some of our meetings
ARE dry, Stuffy and the air is
thick with tension and indiffer-
ence. We try to set new record
as to how short we can make a
meeting. skipping over many of
the essentials of the work. All be-
cause we want to get out and
breath the air of the outside world
again.
l am sure there are many of us
who hesitate to suggest to our
friends that they join with us and
attend such meetings.
This does not have to be SOL
Our lodge meetings can be made
interesting and instructive, t h y
can be made profitable and ex-
citing, if you WANT. them so.
There are, of course, certain
definite requirements which must
be performed at each meeting, but
these, as we'll as those hours later,
can be filled with 'ZING'l The

If our meetings are made ex-

Gated will become enthusiastic,
and, in turn, will spread this en-
thusiasm outside the lodge room,
and it MUST follow that those
who are not yet members will
want to become part of an active,
