POING GOOD WORK
Had the Hyder Commercial As
sociation no chance to accomplish
more than it has already accom
plished, it would not have been or
ganized ip vain, Th* lecommed
Yitions which were adopted at the
last meeting as to fire protection
for the towu, backed up by the as
suranco of Deputy United States
Marshall John Ronan that the rec
ommendations of the Association
will be considered as municipal law
by the authorities, are of them
selves of sufficient importance to
justify the Association’s existence.
if these recommendations are
Ugid^y enforced, if every house
owner of the town takes precau
tionary measures for safeguarding
his own building, then the town
a whole will be safeguarded.
Everybody knows thyt some of
ihe most disasterous fires on record
have sprung from trivial origins
A cow kicked a lantern over in Chi
cago and the whole city was burned
to the ground. A shack in the
thickly populated portion ef the
town may cause tjie destruction of
the town. Therefore it is just ns
important that the smallest build
ings be provided with safety appli
ances as for the more pre entious
business blocks to he so equipped.
It is to he hoped that each indi
vidual in the canjp will cheerfully
provide the appliances which the
Association deems necessary for
the camp’s protection. If uny is
found so mean as to protest against
providing this ounce of prevention,
gleans wifi undoubtedly he found
to overcome the objection.
The Association has made an ex
cellent start, a»nd as other matters
of importance to the community
welfare are reached they will doubt
less be handled in th* same busi
nesslike planner which has churac
teriaed the proceedings of the new
governing body to date.
