But if the lightning had struck a barn filled with hay, the township fire truck could have used to great advantage speedy assistance from supplemental fire fighting equipment. In view of this condition there should be some well defined plan for pooling the fire fighting resources here in time of an emergency. Decatur county is better prepared to cope with fire than at any time in its history. Both Greensburg and Washington township have trucks quartered in the Ctiy Hall in Greensburg. Other communities which have fire fighting equipment are: Clarksburg, New Point, St.

Paul, Letts, Westport and Clay township. But in the event of a major fire the use of a single unit would not be sufficient for effective results. Some well defined plan of procedure could be easily arranged, so that certain units would provide stand-by protection while other fire fighting equipment would rush to the scene of the fire. Through a well planned system of cooperation by units, volunteer firemen could be better trained in fire fighting techniques so that they could perform their duties with utmost efficiency. Decatur county should be organized as a unit so that the maximum of protection will be afforded and destruction from fire can be held to a minimum.

Plans for an integrated system of fire protection for Decatur county should be devised now rather than after a disastrous fire.

The nation's traffic toll for the Memorial Day week-end was the worst ever recorded during the period set aside for honoring America's war dead.

Tabulations completed today revealed deaths on the highway surpassed the 350 mark. That broke not only the previous record of 253 for a three- day Memorial week-end, set in 1949, but also the high of 347 established in a four-day Memorial holiday in 1950. And, the grim mark was set during a three-day period, from 6 p. m. last Thursday to midnight last night.

The National Safety Council's estimate that 310 persons would die in traffic was far short. Safety council statisticians estimated that one person died on the highways every 15 minutes.

California led the rest of the nation in the total number of dead with 45 30 on the highways, 10 by drowning and five in miscellaneous accidents. Ohio was next next with a toll of 34 in auto crashes, one by drowning and four in other ways. Clark Confers On Political Crisis in Korea (By International Service) Pusan, June 2. Gen. Mark W.

Before his conference with he ROK president, Clark met vilh officials of the UN commission for the unification nd rehabilitation of Korea UNCURK).

Several days ago UNCURK fficials urged Rhee to release he imprisoned national as- emblymen and lift martial law rom Pusan. So far, the presi- ent has ignored this request.
