SCHOOLS Of OREGON
In the public schools of Oregon
the second Friday In April of each
year Is Arbor Day. This year the

As usual, the State Department of
Public Instruction has prepared a
very Interesting booklet for th's an
nual event, and this year's number

address to the Oregon teachers, State
Supt. Alderman says:
'.'I am sending you this Arbor Day
and Bird Hook in the hope that you
will use it and the day, as well as
other days, to Improve your school
grounds and the pupils' homes. We
are building for centuries to come. A
tree is a symbol of education and life.
I know of no study more full of joy
than bird study. They are so beauti
ful and companionable. Encourage
e-ery child to build bird houses, as
well as to know our friends, the
birds."
To create a general Interest among
the children in trees and bird life,
the following Is a
Suggested Program.
Ask your pupils to find out and
report on the following tppics for
Arbor Day:
The trees on the farm.
What trees grow best in Oregon?
What different kinds of trees are
growing in the neighborhood?
What kind of trees grow best In
dry places and what In wet?
How many kinds of birds I have
known to nest in the trees around
here?
The birds that spend the winter In
Oregon?
Tell all about (be meadow lark and
what It is good for.
The business of hawks and owls?
What do the game laws do for
some birds?
What does the fJoverninent do for
birds in this state?
Topics for development for Arbor
Day and all through the term: For
estry: civic Improvement: school-
house renovation:
school grounds; i
birds; flowers; agriculture.
Arbor lny Selections.
The booklet also contains a good
list of selected poems, appropriate
for use in Arbor Hay programs.
There are also instructions for plant
ing trees, nn able article on "The
Value or Our Wild Birds." by Win. I..

SIRE fOR PROPOSED
' AUTO FIRE TRUCK
Editor Review:
J. W. Perkins verr ably answered
Mr. Strong's article In opposition to
the auto fir truck, and we thank
him for his kindness, bat as ther
are a few points ha did not touch
upon we wish to explain these to
your readers so that they may have
a thorough understating of the auto
truck proposltlopDefor Toting upon
the measure. It Is not our wish or
intention to force upon the taxpay
ers of Roseburg something they do
not want, but we, aa firefighters,
have so much faith In the superiority
and many advantages of the auto
truck that we want every voter thor
oughly to understand the auto truck
and conditions aa they exist In Rose
burg at the present time.
In beginning his article Mr. Strong
stated tv 'rsome of our. arguments
worer.ar-fetciied, as they related to
fire departments in distant cities, and
that undoubtedly they were supplied
by companies having fire apparatus
for sale. The publicity committee
did, it Is true, secure considerable
publicity matter from a company hav
ing fire apparatua for sale, but we
secured this from only one company
and we wrote to them asking for It.
Every bit of this Is either signed by
some city official or Is clipped from
newspapers, and Is bona fide. He
may consider some of the arguments
far-fetched, but we do not. In choos
ing the cities that have motor ap
paratus we tried, st least, even If
some of them are distant, to pick
cities that compare favorably to
Roseburg In slse and condition.
Burlington, Vermont, Is larger than
Roseburg, but we choso this city be
cause a Roseburg man. L. A. Sanc
tuary, recently visited there and saw
the auto truck In operation. Ask
him about It.
Regarding the Lambert fire in
North Roseburg, of which Mr. Strong
spoke, we want you to know that an
auto truck would havo saved a large
portion of tho house, while as It was
it burned to the ground, and had the
lot been inflamable It. too, would
have burned. Tho small North Rose
burg hose enrt wns the first and only
pleco of apparatus to reach the fire.
and when It did get there and the
hose wan laid It was found that It
lacked about 50 feet of reaching the
fire. Mr. French with his auto truck
iett the city hall with the chomicn!
truck, but ho got stuck on tho way
and tho flro was past control when
ho arrived.
An auto truck such as wo want
could have reached the flro by the
time tho North Roseburg cart did
and wo would havo had to work with
:io gallons of chemical, nxes, ladders,
etc., and what would have been In
that enso moro Important, 1200 feet
of standard hoso. And had wo needed
It, a high pressure pump.
Tho Moon residence Is tho othci
North Roseburg flro Mr. Strong re
ferred to. On this occasion tho flrc
rigbtlng apparatus was taken from
the fire Iioubo and drnwn ns far aa
tho McClallen Hotel by hand, where
It was left when It waB seen that no
good could bo done with chemicals
and that wo did not have enough
hose to reach tho fire. ( l.oso cart
carries BOO feet of hose). After we
remained at the hotel for several
minutes, Mr. French camo along with Distribution of an estate constat
his auto truck and carried the flro- ng of two lota In Yoncalla and 14
men to tho fire. Had we an auto ! acres of farming land near that town
