THE RECORD
SPEAKS . . .
The 38th week of travel on the
highways in the county this year
was without accident, but the
38th, scheduled for review soon,
will show a gloomy picture, A
year ago, there were five acci
dents in the county, but they
were not very costly ones for
human limb and life.
The following tabulations of
fer a comparison of the accident
trend: first, by corresponding
weeks in this year and last and
for each year to the present time.

1 the big cranes and every thing is de
serted. Our planes have done enough
1 destruction to make it look like there
| hasr. t been any one there in several
years. All the dry docks are empty.
| I think they stopped building ships
and started building more midget
| submarines. I have seen several
dozen completed and dozens of
| others started.
They have very few ships here of
| any kind. There bat
tleship here but ,i>v superstructure
I is a complete wreck. There are sev
eral destroyers and landing ships
i and dozens of tugs. Most of their
ships are coal burners. We have
three of their subs tied up along side
of our repair ships. Two of them are
the largest subs in the world.
The few Japs that are left here to
clean up seem to have that “so solly,
please, attitude. They work pretty
good and salute everyone that pass
es or bow very low’ if they are in
side a building. When they are
working together 4hey act like a
bunch of kids frolicking. One of
them can take a cart and pull as big
a load as a mule.
I hey tell us we will be here for
three or four months and then home.
But I don’t depend on that too
much. I do know it will be wonder
ful to get back to see the people at
home.
Firemen Called To River
Cast Tuesday Afternoon
I Local volunteer firemen were call
ed to the oil storage plants near the
river last Tuesday afternoon at 5
o’clock when a fence caught fire and
burned rapidly in the direction of the
Harrison Oil Company pumping sta
tion. Employees at the Standard Oil
plant saw the fire and they helped
bring it under control with ihree ex
tinguisher charges.
Going down the hill, firemen saw
black smoke rising near the oil
plants, and were almost certain they
had a job on their hands. They
learned, however, that the smoke
was from a passing train.
