A letter to the society from Caracas, Venezuela, gave details of the discovery of the long-sought headwaters by seven explorers and a snfari of 30 native porters. The information was radioed to Caracas by the explorers last Nov. 28, one day after the spring was discovered at the foot of a 248-foot escarpment jutting from a 2630 foot mountain. The expedition reported it scaled the mountain and hacked a large clearing in a jungle on the broad summit. Names of the two French and five Venezuelan explorers along with those of the chief of staff of the Venezuelan army and four Venezuelan cabinet members were engraved on a cement post erected on the site.

Fire Chief Raises Objections To Recent 'Adverse Publicity' COTTAGE GROVE Fire Chief Ernest Shipley asserted Thursday the fire department has been re ceiving "adverse publicity" and that the public is getting the im pression firemen are "lazy." Shipley referred to publicity re ceived in a recent council meeting when councilmen discussed the question, "Who is going to stoke the city hall furnace at night?" Several councilmen felt firemen should stoke the furnace during the night so the building would be warm when regular employes came to work in the morning. Councilmen then turned the fur nace heating problem over to the fire department. Shipley said Thursday the mat ter has been settled for two weeks. Irving IOOF To Give Dance IRVING A "Hardtimes Dance" sponsored, by the local Odd Fel lows and Rcbekahs will be held at the Irving School Saturday eve ning, Dec. 22. Women are to wear prints, and men overalls. Kings ley's Serenaders will supply the music. Admission prices are: Adults 75 cents, teenagers 50 cents. Odd Fellows in charge are Rus sell Johnson, chairman, Earl Woods, Lowell Graves, Harry Hatfield and Jupe Holmes. Re- bckahs serving refreshments in clude Mrs. A. J. Miglioretto, chairman, Mrs. Arthur Lund and Jack Lee. The public is invited. "The assistant police chief and I worked out a solution whereby firemen will stoke the furnace during daylight hours and police radio operators will keep the fire going during the night." The chief then said the public has been getting the wrong im pression how the department op erates. "Lots of people think we have five or six paid men, but we only have three. Yet these three have five pieces of equip ment to handle." The chief explained each paid man is on duty 24 hours and off 24 hours and works 72 hours a week. "And each regular answers the fire bell even on his day off." The question has been ' asked why can't firemen work eight hour shifts?" Shipley said from the standpoint of efficiency an eight hour shift would not be practical. He said firemen would miss too many drills and that gen- eral department operation would be hampered.
