PIKE DEPARTMENT RE-ORGANIZED
A reorganization of the city fire department was inevi
table if higher insurance rates were not to be |»aid. With
a new insurance commissioner and new reports in order
Spriugfield could not travel much longer on a false report
on file calling for three paid fireman and 12 volunteers as
a basis for the present insurance rates.
Three full time [»aid men can not he afforded for fire
service, so it will be necessary to use as firemen other paid
city employees and night men sleeping at the fire hall. A
consolidation of the city departments at the city hall build
ing was a logical arrangement in order to have an effective
department. The training of volunteers with twice a month
drlls is also nec essary if we are to retain our rating, insur
ance rates are far too high in Springfield and to have th ett
mount higher would be poor business. Commercial rates
are as much as three times as high as adjoining towns All
major fires in late years have been complete losses. Our
record is poor and it is up to us to Improve it. In tins the
city government should have complete support.. We feel
this support will be forthcoming just as soon as personal
politics ceases to be an issue in town.
SLAYING THE LUMBER GOOSE
The lumber strike is reported as causing a loss to the
industry of »1.000.000 a week. Who gets that loss'* It is
certain that the mill operator whose plant is idle does not
and it is also certain the striker whose wages have stopped
does not.
Four hundred car loads of shingles have come into the
northwest from British Columbia since the strike began.
I-arge lumber shipments are also coming in. With the box
industry down the paper carton is increasing its business
greatly. The market lossed during this strike will be very
hard to regain.
Lumber is now too high to stimulate much building
and if it must go higher as a result of the strike then there
will be a slacked demand and many mills will never reopen.
Some operators might pay more than the minimum now
but it is out of the question for them to reach <5 cents on
common labor. A glance at the way they pay their taxes and
meet other obligations will convince one that no surplus is
being accumulated by the operators. The whole strike is
futile and ill timed. Its leaders are really the enemies of
organized labor.
Springfield streets are in the best shape they have been
in many months as a result of the SERA program which
has just been brought to a close. For each dollar the city
expended two dollars in labor was furnished. It is false
economy not to keep up the city streets. Streets are like
bad teeth; the longer they go the more it costs to fix them
and eventually they have to be rebuilt.

“THE WORSHIP OF A CHRISTIAN”
(Matthew 6:1-18)
Jesus is saying that when we let our light shine before
uen by our good deeds we should not yield to the tempta-
ion to show off. By so doing we not only become hypo-
rites but if we seek a reward of applause we would not
e satisfied with any other kind. God does not parade hlm-
elf in sending rain upon just and unjust. Therefore be
ot conscious of your own goodness in your charity and let
o one else praise you lest you lose your pure motive of
jrvice to the needy. Be a partner with God in helping men.
>f all vices avoid parading your goodness in prayer. The
harisee was careful to be in a public place when the hour
f prayer struck. The reward which comes from that kind
f praying is ruinous to you. Neither is prayer an oppor-
tnity to preach something you dare not say otherwise,
iuch noise and many words are no real help to you and
ley do not please God.
The model prayer given us by Jesus in verses 9 to 13
ortrays an attitude on the part of the worshiper. The
ords our, us and we appeear instead of I, me. and mine.
When you contemplate some great thuth of God or need
f man until you have misBed some meals do not tell the
zorld about your holy fast. Keep the method of self-sacri-
ice to yourself and use the light, gained In hours of fasting,
