Rush of Paople
difficult SITUATION
For Fire Department; Some-
times Way Is filled
Fmr Second Truck
Members of the tire department,
on a number of occasions rscent-j
ly have found It difficult to got
to tires because of the mad rush
of excltment srakers who follow
the fire truck with reckless aban
don, it was learned here by ob
servation and by conversation
with firemen.
It has long been the custom tor
people to Jump Into ■die nearest
antomoblles and *a««’?after the
tire truck. Prahape they do not
take time to think Hurt thefre are
two fire trucks, and ^at oftra
both are neoesbary in Hjditlng a
fire. The resultairt traffic jams
make it next to impossible to get
the second tire truck on the scene
and often membMs of the fire
department find themselves hope-
leeely blocked In the maelstrom
of traffic. “
The police department and the
tiro department kindly that
the peopie be more etdiddefato
and that they refrain frotrt doing
anything that would hanger the
firemen. It Is understood; how
ever, that the help of anybody is
appreciated at a tire ‘hut K is es
sential that people r^niln from
such tactics In getting to a tire
that would delay the firemen in
any way or block traffic so that
the second truck cannot get tor
the scene.

have met with good cooperation
among the people of the various
communities visited.
However, there are many who
have neglected to bo immunized

Make Rapid Progress Plac

New Grartle of Road
The task of building a 4 1-2
mile stretch of highway between
Roaring River and Honda on
highway 268 Is near completion.
The grade was completed a few
weeks ago and workmen have al
most completed the job of placing
crashed stone on the new grade.
The structures are practically
finished and traffic will be al
lowed over the new grade In a
very short time.
During the course of the con-
atiniction employment has been
furnished to a comparatively
large number of people who live
'Within working distance of the
road. Labor was furnished from

project of the State Highway and
