V'. ' ; - - . - r ' , i That night. Salem learned to know what it means to face the possibility of wholesale loss by fire. For several moments prior to the arrival of the fire equipment through no fault of the department sparks were falling on the shingled tops of buildings within a radius of at least three blocks. The character of the. fire in the stables was such that great pieces of burning matter .fell upon1, these roofs, the flames' leaping well into the air as the living fire continued 'on the house-tops. ; . " Fortunately, a light rain had fallen during the early eve ning., Home owners and store owners, on top of their roofs intent on keeping their own structures from burning, con graulated'each other in the early morning, hours 4hat the preceding rain , had protected them from beingvdriven from their homes by spreading flames. ' " , 'T' : This is neither an exaggeration of facts, nor a scene from a sensational movie. It is a . true account of the menace Salem faced on the night of March 16. Suppose roof tops had been dry ? Suppose, during the first moments when present fire equipment was concentrated 4 in. trying to check the blaze started m adjoining blocks as falling upon roofs? Salem's fire force was taxed in conquering the main fire. that, might well have assumed equal magnitude in other por tions of the city, r ; .?- . When dawn broke, a vast section of Salem might easily have been in ruins, had the weather been dry, and the flames spreaa. . , ; . , - This .potential source ! danger the city will face until additional equipment is purchased. One fire of size requires the concentration of all available equipment. What could the fire department do iri case another fire of consequence should euu v m a remote poruon oi ine city The department would not have had a fair chance. This is the potential disaster which Alderman W. H. ; Dancy - and the city council seek to eliminate in requesting funds for the purchase of two new pumpers which, if author ized, would ; enable the department to give adequate protec tion in case fires should break oat in remote portions or the city. !.-, .,r , ... .

() TUXEDO TRACT BALLOT IS CALLED FOR TODAY (Cootlnaed Iron pi 1.) pils need playgrounds and for this reason parents of south Salem are asking for the school to be located on Tuxedo Park, ami not adjoin ing the Lincoln school where soon there would be six or seven, nun dred pupils crowded on one block with absolutely no playgrounds According to the discussion last evening, voters are those who are on the tax rolls or who own stock in a corporation. . Due to legal wording required. the ballot will read "Bonds, Yes or No, although' the bonds were voted tnree years ago. As was stated last evening, as long, as the junior high school building is to be erected either on the crowded Lincoln school block, or on Yew Park, it is held no more than right that the south Salem people should be given support in their desire for Tuxedo Park. It was pointed out that the peo ple of all parts of Salem voted for the Parrish school site, althotfgh It was not the site intended on the ballot three years ago and that the Vote this afternoon has simi lar Intent, merely changing the location of the school. Due to the fact that the election will be in a much larger room and that there will be additional judges of election to hand out and receive ballots, it is felt that a heavy vote can be taken care of, although the voting hours are only from 2 o'clock in the after noon until 7 o'clock. ' At all meetings held for a dis cussion of the election, the pro gressive element of the city has been in favor of a "yes" vote, giv ing to south Salem and the schpol Doara the location desired, Tux edo Park.

' The beetle eats its way into the cherry at an early stage causing the cherry, to; appear, bruised, and making It worthless either for the fresh fruit market or for the can nery.
