Water Scarcity in Noank, ‘The scarcity of water is becoming a serious matter in the village of Noank and unless some rain falls before long | FIRE PREVENTION EVERY DAY Chief Stanton Says One Day a Year is Not Sufficient to Pre- vent Needless Loss By Flames—Carelessness Respousi- ble For 90 Per Cent. of Our Fires—How Fire Preven- tion Day Movement Started—Where the Responsibility Should Be Placed. We ought to have Fire Prevention Day every day, sald Chief Howard L. Stanton on Friday when asked wheth- er he had any suggestions in regard to the observance of Fire Prevention Day on Monday. That the setting aside of one day in the year to be gener- ally regarded as Fire Proventlon Day is a good thing, there can be no con- troversy. It is, however, a good thing only in a way. Fire Prevention Day is in its inten- tion a good thing, and I_subscribe to the intention, but when<I see the re- sults of it in the immense piles of rubbish that a general cleaning up produces, I feel a bit sad over it, be- cause to me it is an illustration of how tremendously careless we are by force of habit. 1 realize, tco, that there is a chem- istry of life; that all things are pro- duced by action and reaction and I am wondering if the reaction as shown by the trash piles of Fire Prevention Day is not a demonstration of the fact that like bad doctors, we are treating symptoms and not causes. General Carelessness The Cause. What cause is there for Fire Pre- vention Day? Habit and general carelessness, is it not? If then, those things are so, why not go directly to the causes of these results and treat them? Then, too, the reaction caused by Fire Prevention Day means a slump-back at once into the very con- ditions that produced Fire Preven- tion Day. Now, my idea is to go straight to the causes ard treat the disease and not the symptoms. Ninety per cent. of our fires are the result of carelessness somewhere, somehow, on the part of somebody and that this Is 2 fact is the result of lack of proper self respect nd therefore proper respect for oth- ers and for their rights on the part primarily of the best men of the com- ity and in a less degree of every en of every community. I hold that it is the duty as well as the privilege of manhood, to prop- erly oversee and direct every detail of his household affairs and, if this is done, every detail of his business af- airs will be properly supervised and cted also. To each individual we have got to go for the curing of this e of individual carelessness and egard. According to a letter received by Chief Stanton from Franklin H. Went- worth, sccretary of the National Fire Protection ssociation of the United States and Canada, this association, the Mutual Safety Council, is pro- moting the observance of Fire Pre- vention Day this year throughout North America. Special communica- tions have been addressed to the lead- ing commercial or civic organizations in all cities of 10,000 pouulation or over. President Wilson and the gov- ernors of the various srates have been asked to issue proclamations. The Origin of the Day. will no doubt be of interest to many Norwich people to learn the origin “of Fire Prevention Day—The story goes as follows: On October.9, 1871, one Mrs. O'Leary went out into the barn to milk the cow on her little farm just on the out. skirts of the city of Chicago. It was far from light and she carried a lan- It tern, which she placed on the stable floor and then sat down to do her milking. Now what particular devil posses: ed that cow does not appear. At any 1 rate the cow was moved to kick and the cow’s hoof struck the lantern. The lantern fell over. The oil spilled on the floor and the city of Chicago was all wiped off the map. The city of Chicago has reason to remember that day in October and so it is that Chicago has taken a mighty interest in the establishment of a Na- tional Fire Prevention Day on the an- niversary of its misfortune, that other municipalities may learn a lesson from its experience. Last year the governors of 29 states gave forth proclamations calling upon | their people to observe the day by cleaning up their home; by removing rubbish from dark corners; by seeing that they were prepared to meet fire if ti came. This year it is believed that practically every state will take part in this great movement A Programme For the Day. In his letters to the governors urg- ing them to impress upon the people the zeed of preventing the loss of life and property by fire, Frederick H. Flliott, executive secretary of the Safety First Federation, laid down the following programme: On October 9th all public buildings, factories and homes, be thoroughly cleaned of rubbish accomulation. That all heating, lighting ana fire ex- tinguishing apparatus, be examined, and if found defective, properly repair- ed. That fire drills be held in all the schools, factories an aother places where fire drills are necessary. That lectures be given in public schools, and that sermons be preached in the churches on the subject of fire pre- vention and that meetings be held to arouse public interest in the move- ment. The latest estimate of the loss by fire in the United States and Canada in 1914 was $250,000,000. Add to this the cost of maintaining fire depart- ments and the total is $500,000,000. This amount is so stipenduous that the mind_cannot conceive it. $500,000,000 would build a Panama canal. There is a tax of $5 a head on every man, woman and child in the United States. It mcans that every family of seven people pays $35 a vear for fire pro- tection. Ninety per cent. of all fires are due to carelessness or ignorance. It may be carelessness in erecting the build- ing;- it may be carelessness in hand- ling gasolene; it may be carelessne In placing matches or in hanging cur- tains close to a gas jet; 1t may be carelessness in neglectmg to put light- ning rods, but it is carelessness and might be prevented. The idea of personal responsibility for fires is spreading rapidly through- out the United States and it is cer- tain that within the next few years states will adopt laws holding to per- sonal responsibility the individual whose carelessness causes damage to 2 neighbor’s property. Chief Stanton to Demonstrate Cost. In order to give the rising genera- tion some idea of the great cost at- tached to the maintainance of fire de- partments Chief Stanton is planning fo run the local apparatus out and around the vicinity of Union square Monday morning at 8.30 o'clock, the time when the school children will be on the road to Broadway schoolhouse. It js hoped by so doing to impress them with the importance of fire pre- vention, not only on October 9th, but on every day of the vear. VOTE COMMISSIONERS WILL START NEXT WEEK. Must Go to Border If Only One Man Remains. Colonel William C. South Manchester, and Christopher L. Avery, of Groton, commissioners appointed by Governor Holcomb to take the vote of the Connecticut troops in the service of the United States government, will not leave Cheney, of this state on Saturday to perform their duties, as they nad intended to do. They will leave some day next week. In the original list of soldiers en- d to vote there were 3,079 names cluding those at Nogales and at Tobyhanna, Penn. When the First infantry was ordered home this number was reduced to 1,629 and now it has been further reduced to 400 by the return of the Second in- fantry These 400 consist of 100 men ‘and officers of the First Con- necticut Field company, = Signal troops, at Nogales, and 300 in Bat- tery E of Branford and Battery F. of Stamford. It is understood that these batteries have been ordered from Pennsylvania to El Paso, Tex., which is about a twelve hours ride from Nogales. The tickets have been completed an dthere wrl be no de- lJay in having them ready in time for the commissioners when the lat- ter are ready to start. The return of the Second Infantry will not require a change to be made in the manner of arranging the ballots in packages. While the home town of the military orgzanizations, which remain on the frontler, might suggest the confining of the ballots to three congressional _ districts _ representing the First, Fourth and Fifth, there was the possibility that in the organiza- tion there might be men entitled to vote in other districts and to meet that possibility ballots for the five districts in the state will be given the commissioners. There will there- fore be five packages as the law con- templates. There is another possibility which must be provided for in the sending of ballots and that is that the Second infantry may not have started home by the time the commissioners reach Nogales. In that event the vote should be taken in Nogales, and it would be un- fortunate if the commissioners had not a supply of ballots to emable the soldiers to exercise the franchise. It is for that reason that no chances will be faken with a limited supply of bal- ots. As a matter of fact, the ordering of the troops home makes no difference with the arrangements, that the office of the secretary of state is making to carry out the provisions of the act of the general assembly, except that the certain return of the First infan- try may reduce the number of ballots which Will be given the commisston- ers. So long as there is a single Con- necticut soldier left on the border, to vote, the machinery defined in the law. will enable him to exercise his right| bids fair to be a dangerous one.

Aliyn. Albert H. Lanphere, democrat, was declared first sclectman of the town of Waterford Friday morning following a recount of the ballots cast at the elec- tion this week, in the superior court in New London Friday morning.

When the | votes were counted on election night the returns showed that Dr. Allyn, who was a cardidate to suzceed him- self, and Mr. Lanphere each had 284 votes. Dr. Allyn contested the count and applied to the superior court for a recount. tie Friday morning Attorney John C. Geary, counsel for Mr- Attorney Charles B. Whi; sel for Dr. Allyn, appeared before Judse Lucien F. Burpee in the superior court and united in asking for a recount im- mediately, both attorneys asreeing to waive all ‘technicalities. Ordinarily-the Detitioner for the recount would have been compelled to give the respondent six days' notice and all legalities would have had to be complied with. Judge Burpee agreed to hold the re count and set it for 11 o’clock, follow ing the short calendar session of the court. At the appointed time Judse Burpee ordered the ballot boxes opened and Town Clerk Charles A. Gallup broke the seals. The conrt appointed Attorneys Geary and Whittlesey as counters and the work of recount be- gan. It took less than an hour for the counters to make the recount, which showed that Mr. Lanphere had 302 votes and Dr. Allyn 291, a majoirty of 11 votes. The result was submitted to the court, wno accepted the report and declared Mr. Lanphere clected first selectman. By th erecount 25 of the 26 ballots which were tarown out election day by the town election officials were counted in. Only 11 were rejected, 10 of these belng blank ballots and_ore being illegal.
