pointing and scrubbing which
was completed recently by the
firemen. The entire building
was gone over, the firemen do
ing the work themselves. It re
auired ST5 pounds of calsomine
for the job, the chief related.
In addition, he explained as he
escorted the officials about the
building, the kitchen was paint
ed, all the woodwork was
cashed, the floors were waxed
and the drapes were laundered
Tasks Rotated
Every part of the building
was inspected, the city officials
being shown how the firemen
live at headquarters, how their
clothes are arranged to lump
into if an alarm sounds at night,
how lights go on automatically
so that the men would not be
groping in the dark. They were
told how the firemen are ro
tated in certain tasks so that at
all times some one has direct
responsibility for a certain job
The workshop also was in
spected, the councilmen and civ
il service commissioners seeing
the array of fine tools with
which the firemen convert brok
endown toys into new, shiny
playthings for poor children at
Christmas. The tools. Chief El
liott explained, have been
bought out of proceeds from the
firemen's annual ball.
Considerable attention was
paid to the fire engines, Edward
Ca noose, assistant fire chief, ex
plaining how the pumpers and
chemicals function. The lights
of the fire wagons are tested
every night, the engines every
morning, the inspecting party
was informed. Electric heaters
keep the engines warm so that
they will start easily in any
kind of weather, Mr. Canoose
pointed out.
13 On Duty ai Night
With the volunteers, there
are now 13 men on duty at head
quarters every night, Chief El
liott said, adding that the volun
teers are a valuable part of the
department whose work means
much to the city In the control
of fire.
All the regular firemen who
were on duty were introduced
to the councilmen and civil
service commissioners. The in
specting party congratulated the
firemen on the way they main
tain the hall and spoke highly
of their work as fire fighters.

DIVIDEND VOTED
BY DIRECTORS OF
FIRST FEDERAL
A dividend of J 14 pr rent
was voted by directors of First
Federal Savings and Loan asso
ciation of Medford, Tuesday,
payable July 1, and on behalf
of the directors, R. F. Kyle, secretary-manager,
stated that "the
dividend is in line with general
trend of returns on insured
savings throughout the state
and nation. Our association,"
Mr. Kyle said, "previously has
been paying 4 per cent. The
yield has declined on all classes
of sound Investments in re
cent years, most associations
still paying 3'i per cent are
considering dividend reductions
In the near future. With occa
sional exceptions the savings
banks are paying 1H per. cent
or less. Postal savings pay 2
per cent and the average yield
on government bonds and high-
grade corporation bonds ranges
from to 3V4 per cent. Bonds
are subject to fluctuations in
market value while insured sav
ings are not and the savings
In the First Federal Savings
and Loan association of Med
ford are not only insured up
to $5,000 but are protected
against market fluctuations, be
ing withdrawable 100 cents on
the dollar.
"Our association has always
invited the savings and invest
ments of people who expect a
conservative investment," Mr
Kyle continued. 'This conserv
ative trend is toward lower
dividends and higher reserves
and places the leading depart
ment of the association in a
position to compete for the
very best home loans available
in thia community. Loan rates
have probably touched bottom,
although today we are taking a
higher volume of loans at mini
mum rates than at any time in
our history."
Directors of the association
are Wm. H. Kluhrer, A. J.
Hanby. P. M. Janney. B. H.
Bauer, W. H. Relehstein. W. C.
Rookard, M. Peirce and Mr.
Kyle.
