The legend now reads; "Vote for X, the pull down hook." fast week the Public Util ties Commission discussed the mat- ter and as a result are fo write to city council asking them if the bylaw is being disregarded. They considered recommending the can- didates be given 10 days after the election in which to remove bills, This, however, was not included in the notion asking for action, Mayor Norman Down, who sits on the Commission, in a state- ment to The Times - Gazette sald of the bylaw 'we have not been enforcing it too strongly in the ast, "To my thinking," he added not be noticed and might 'smolder for a week before setting lose rampaging wall of burning de- struction, SECOND HAZARD Ketch sald he felt sure that any- one who has had any experience with forest fires wouid never Wish such a thing on even their Worst enemies, It is not only the trees and beauty that suffer but also the wild life, they run, but only until | they're, exhausted, and they can't | fight back Ketch then turned to the second . water, There are two main causes of tragedies on water, One is loading too many persons into a boat; the other is using foo powerful a motor on the boat, A HAPPY TIME "Holiday time is a happy time," sald the speaker," the whole com- munity is affected by a Joiidey tragedy, as well as the immedi: ate family.
