Moreover, the editorial was noted by a Ihattanooga fire extinguisher company which sent epresematives to Trenton with an entirely new sug- t :estion for the problem confronting the overcoming v own. r Although the suggestion is not that made by The 'imes, we feel that this company should he heard t ince their aim is the same as ours, to provide some { md of fire protection for a town overloaded with fire j nsurance. This firm, naturally, is interested in mak- ng a sale. That should make no difference to the peo- >le of Trenton. If they are ever to have fire protec- ion. salesmen must be met. 1 ho method suggested by this firm would require he use of their product, of course. But it would elim- nate the need for fire hydrants, expe'nsive hose ines and similar equipment used in fighting ire with water. Neither would the equipment he inde- tendent on an ample water supply, which would be he source of Trenton's greatest problem under any _vater system of fighting fire. Representatives of this company have suggested »? chemical extinguisher which could be bought for ■fbout $600. It would he mounted on a small truck or arrier for quick delivery to fires. Although it would eem ahsurb to use a fire extnguisher to fight a rag- ng blaze, this particular model is large enought to iroduce ample pressure and chemical supply. It might ! lo the trick. Of course, Trenton does not have money»enought o enter the fire fighting business and city officials ire quick to say so. This is as it should be. The point ve are trying to make, however, is that a reasonable ire department can be secured, even if it takes time to <o it. In the meantime, nothing should be overlooked. I Representatives of the firm mentioned here lave planned a gigantic demonstration of their equip- nent. The demonstration has been set for Thursday, September 24 at 2 p. m. It will be held on the Dade i hgh School grounds. We urge every resident of Trenton to-be present. Let the demonstrators show 1 vhat can be done with fire then let the people weivh j/ie matter and consider fire protection a little more, i HOOKER | By Mrs. Thelma Bell Sgt.

Glass Attendance Prize To Remain Same As Last Year Dade County school officials have decided against a class prize to promote better aver¬ age daily attendance and will continue to award individuals for attending school without loss of a day. According to present plans, each student who completes the school year without missing a day will be treated to a day¬ long picnic, just as in the past. A new plan, considered by F. H. Cagle, visiting teacher, would offer a similar prize to the class having the best aver¬ age daily attendance for the year. This plan was abandon¬ ed because it would penalize students in losing classes who attend each day. An Important Reports of Progress October % Are Due 22 ...
