Fire Chief Henry and Police Chief Pal Greening appeals to motorists today to stay off streets when the fire siren sounds and never to run over a line of fire hose.

Practice- of speeding to fires behind the fire trucks or in some eases ahead of them, must be stopped these officials say. Too, motorists arc urged to wait several minutes before rushing to a fire beeau.se firemen in private ears have the right of way. Neither is it praeti'-al 1o crowd around fires and hinder firemen fight a If a line of hose is run over by a truck or auto, it is ruined be cause the pressure from the outside causes the hose to leak. Hose is expensive some costing as high as $.1.25 or more a foot. Drastic fines will be levied on persons violatong these fire and police laws.

PHONE PUNJTOVED ganization Of Short Line To Start Washington, March 25 The Interstate Commerce Commission approved today a plan to reorganize the Reader Railroad of Reader, Ark. The reorganization would place a first lien on the carrier's property to secure notes to be issued in satisfaction of a judgement liability. The plan would not otherwise affect creditors. The judgment was for personal injuries sustained by C. S.

Sanders, an employe. It became a lien on all the property and the railroad, unable to pay, filed a petition of reorganization on May 27, 1935. The plan would discharge the Sanders claim by paying him $5,000 in cash and 38,400 in 16 annual installments of $2,400 each. The notes are to be secured by a first mortgage or deed of trust upon all the property of the railroad and its contracts and franchises. Farmers Are Urged to Set Out Plants This Year Farmers who are interested in growing tomatoes on commercial scale this year a-c requested by O.

J. Seymour, general chairman of the Chamber of Commerce Agricultural Committee, to turn in their acreage at once to himself, Paul Carruth, county agent, or the Chamber of Commerce. Seymour calls attention to the fact that the Chamber of Commerce has agreed to underwrite the cost of fertilizer for 200 acres of tomatoes this year and that the Camden Milling Company will furnish the plants. If the proceeds from the sale of tomatoes rown on this acreage are not sufficient to pay for the cost of the fertilizer and plants the Chamber of Commerce and the Camden Milling Company will bear tho losses sustained. Under this plan farmers stand to lose nothing but their labor.

On the other hand they have a splendid opportunity through this plan of making a substantial profit on their tomato acreage. It is proposed to use an average of GOO pounds of 4-8-6 fertilizer which will cost about $8.75. With the plants the total cost of an acre of tomatoes will be approximately $10. Seymour and Carruth urge the farmers of Ouachita County to cooperate wholeheartedly in this plan to provide an additional summer cash crop. They called attention to the fact that the Camden Chamber of Commerce has provided a cannery to take care of tomatoes not sold for green wraps and that this is the second time this organization has underwritten the cost of a tomato crop acreage.

A Million Persons Who Suffered Untold Hardship in Rise of Waters in Ohio and Mississippi Valleys Helped Back to Normal Life by Red Cross HEN the raging flood waters In the Ohio and Mississippi Valleys subsided, after a record-breaking rise in January and February, the Rod Cross estimated that tho homos a milRon and a quarter persons hat! -been affected. More than 750,000 of these victims came under the cars of the Red Cross because they needed rescue, shelter, food, clothing and medical attention. Many thousands continued for six weeks or more in Red Cross refugee centers, before their homes were fit to live in again. Work of restoring families to their homes was the second great task of the Red Cross.

For those families Tvho had no, savings or credit or other resources, the Red Cross assumed responsibility, several Government agencies prepared to lend money and help to others. Government, state and local agencies assisted in cleaning up homes. In thousands of tho Red Cross repaired, rebuilt aud refurnished houses. Where workmen lost their tools, those wore supported by Red Cross, just as any necessities needed for self-sustaining family life were given. The American public gave $22,000,000 to the Red Cross relief fund, in contributions ranging from 10 cents to fifty thousand dollars.

This money was spent for maintenance of a vast rescue fleet of 2,700 boats; for maintaining 750,000 refugees In camps, thoir homes or with friends and relatives; for 253 hospitals; for food and clothing; and for rehabilitation of these stricken, families. The Red Cross es- timated that 75 per cent of the fund would go toward repairing and refurnishing homes and giving other necessary aid to families so that they could resume a normal life once more. The assistance given'by the Red Cross is a gift to the flood sufferers from tho contributors to the fund; loans are never made by the Red Cross. The help given is on the basis of the family's needs and all accounts of the Red Cross are audited by tho War Department nnd a report filed with the U. S.

Aquarium collectors, equipped with traps, glass bottomed buckets and water periscopes, have arrived from the north to "bring back alive" odd and strange fish for northerners to see.

Most of their catches are made in shallow water where their traps, baited with fish and meat, arc placed along the reefs at depths of from five to 30 feet. Fish caught in greater depths, they say, usually are of little value since the pressure change in bringing them to the surface is injurious to them. The waters around Miami, Key Largo, Key West and the Bahamas are favorite spots for specimen hunters. More than of the barite mining industry of the United States is centered Missouri, a census bureau report shows. 1934 1,160,231 bought Used Cars from Chevrolet Dealers 1935 1,425,209 bought Used Can from Chovrolef Dealers $32!
