HONOR THE FALLEN
May 30— Decoration Day.
Again the American people will
honor the heroes "who have fought
[and died for their country.
It will sorrow and sadness to a
nation of people, and, painful memor
ies to many hearts. Uut It is a sacr
ed duty we owe to those who have
made the great sacrifice. It is a
privilege to those who have benefit-
ted through the misfortunes of oth
ers.
A nation Is only as great as its
people, and the record of America’s
greatness Is illustrated by the graves
of her fallen sons.
No word that we may utter, no
act that we may perform, will add to
or detract from the nobility of their
great service to their country.
But we may be true to ourselves
to our country, and to our God, by
reverently commemorating the nobl
est act of mankind— the sacrifice of
life that home and country may be
preserved and that others may live
and prosper.
Heroes of all American wars! In
humility and sadness of heart, in
pride and glory of your achievements,
In our knowledge that heaven is a
fitting abode for ail heroes, we hum
bly salute the unconquerable spirit
of your valor and fidelity!
Peace to your eternal slumber.

Every day 39 persons die as a re
sult of fires in dwellings. An ad
ditional 4 3 persons are injured in
dwellings through the same cause.
A majority of the victims in the
dwelling fires are women and child
ren, 90 per cent being children.
Now, Mr. Editor, I contend that
the vital question of fire prevention
and protection in our homes is one
of the most Important things to be
brought to the attention of the peo
ple of our growing city of Hermis
ton, that we may all do our share
to protect the mothers and children;
and I would respectfully suggest a
few precautions that should be strlct-
'y observed in every home:
Don’t allow the stovepipe to be
come loose.
Don’t place the stove too close to
the wall.
Don’t put the kindling wood back
of the range to dry.
Don’t try to start fires with ker
osene.
Don’t place matches within the
reach of children.
Don’t have gasoline in the home
under any circumstances.
Don’t place oily rags used to clean
furniture in the cupboards.
Don’t try to e'ean hardwood floors
with gasoline— you may start on a
long journey with no return ticket.
Don’t place waste paper and loose
wood in the furnace room.
Don’t pile old newspapers and
nagazfnes in the attic.
Don't fail to call up your fire
lepartment if in doubt about any
hazardoup conditions around your
home.
Don’t put water on gasoline fires
Always, please remember, that
/our fire department is always at
our service, and always ready to
lelp the taxpayers in every effort
o prevent fires.
Hoping the question of protect
ng the homes of our people will al
ways receive the attention and care-
ul publication of the facts that has
lways been given through the
olumns of your valuable paper, I
emain, yours for a better and saf
sr city, respectfully,

d Hill In Milton, now a state reser

d
d est hill in the eastern part of the

d
d plied to the great bay which
d Blue hill overlooks. It was from
d
d this hay that the state was

It was Cupt. John Smith who

d Charles river In honor of "Baby
