We remember once when we complimented a boxing champ that we got a spanking from both sides of the pugilistic camp. Again we asked a newsboy if his job of handling so many newspapers didn’t make him tired, and he replied, “Nah, I don’t lead em,” And yet again a friend said recently that he always reads the paper at night so he can go to sleep with nothing on hi.4 mind.

Stories of the smaller fires, wherd potential disaster's were avoided, they mused, were always left out. 'l)re Sentinel reporter replied that these smaller fires were of little importance, as usually there was only minor damage done, and that the public wasn't too interested. A, newspaper reporter 's writeups are geared to what he thinks will interest and inform the public and quite often a good news or feature story is overlooked because of this. In those reports at the city fire department there is a story—<■$.hidden story—about which those in the community of Cottage Grove should know. Since the beginning of the year local firemen have answered an average of nearly two fire alarms each week, both inside AND outside the city limits. In eight instances, "maj0r ' structural fires within the fire district did cause con siderable damage and a resultant loss in money. However, in th^ie cases the fire was well on its way towards a major loss liefore it was even reported. Ih 41 other cases, however, a staggering amount of money was saved through quick action of an alert fire de- partniient.
