WE KNOW HIM Recently, in preparing to celebrate, the production of their 25,000,000th car, the General Motors people found a most profound prediction. It was in an encyclopedia, dated 1908, and it stated that “there cannot possibly be any furtheir improvement in the motor car.*’ It’s a safe guess that the man who said that is still talking and that he hasn’t changed his m*ud. WHEN THE FIRE ENGINES GO BY - Few of us ever get over that Juvenile urge to fallow the fire engines. It’s a thrillyto hear the sirens, and see the great red wagons clang by. \ But that thrill wouldn’t last long if the fire engines led you to your house, and you found it in flames. And the surge of excitement would die an early death if the fire razed the factory or the store in which you worked.

irings trouble to some one. And a high percentage of fires leave stark tragedy in their wake —loss of life, loss of employment, loss of possessions which never can be replaced. There are no mitigating qualities in fire. It is the great destroyer. More than that, the effects of fire are exceedingly widespread. A fire of which ypu have never heard may deprive you of an opportunity for doing business. It may raise your taxes and your insurance rate. It may adversely affect your future life and income. Here in America fire destroys some $300,000,000 worth of property directly each year. The indirect loss is estimated at close to $2,000,000,000. There can be no excuse for that waste, no alibis. Nine fires out of ten are the result of human ignorance, human carelessness, human thoughtlessness. Nine fires out of ten could have been prevented—had someone not failed to take the simple precautions that will checkmate most fires. I Think of this next time you see fire engines go by or smoke and flames rising from a home or building. Then ask yourself if fire prevention is worth while. HAVE YOU RENEWED YOUR SUBSCRIPTION? .

First Grade. Last Wednesday, February 7th, Paul Disher celebrated his seventh birthday by having a lovely party for all the children in his room. Each child was given a “Happy Birthday” napkin, a cup cake with a birthday candle, a bottle of chocolate milk, a chocolate cupid doll and a Valentine candy heart. The candles on each cake were lighted long enough to make a wish and were then blown out. Paul chose the games he wished to play and every one enjoyed Paql’s birthday very much. Os course, we all knew who to thank for such a lovely party. We are busy making pictures of Abraham Lincoln in honor of I his birthday. We find it very difficult to learn new songs for singing causes much coughing.

SYRACUSE-WAWASEE JOURNAL

Syracuse “Hi” Times

We have made many of our valentines and have designed some that are very pretty. Alice Sapen was on the sick list Monday. Fifth Grade. During a health lesson last Wednesday, we got into a discussion of the earth’s magnetism and the sun’s attarction for the planets. The recitation had become quite involved, but Joe Hughes seemed to be really worried about the whole affair, for Joe’s big problem is, that if the earth’s magnetism is so great that it pulls us back, “How are twe going to get to Heaven?” After reading the story of Indian boys being taught courage, we tried our hand at story writing. Several stories were read and the class voted to have this one published with our news. • ♦ • TEACHING INDIAN BOYS COURAGE By Marshall Coy Black Hawk had his camp near a river. His little boy was afraid to go near it without his father. Black Hawk had taught Eagle Feather how to paddle a canoe with him, but he had never tried it alone. One day a group pf men were standing besides the river. As sooon as Eagle Feather walked up to the men. one man said, “Eagle Feather, paddle my canoe across the river.” Eagle Feather stood still a moment. He looked at his father. His father nodded his head. Eagle Feather walked slowly to the canoe, stepped in, picked up the paddle, and pushed himself off. He was so stiff from fright that he could hardly paddle his canoe. As he reached the middle, he felt a teai- rolling down his cheek. He wiped it off and started paddling harder. The man yelled across the river and told him to paddle back., He thought, “I must do better this time.,” He started across. He didn’t look on either side of him, but straight ahead, like a soldier. He kept the canoe at a steady pace as his father did. When he reached the other side, he jumped out. The man took hold of him and said, “Young man, you are very brave;” After that, Eagle Feather was not afraid. Sixth Grade. Attendance in the 6th Grade was much better last week. We had only four different children absent last week and out of these, only one was out because of mumps. Lowell Poyser, Harry Bishop, Elaine Willsey and Donald Smith were those absent. Elaine Willsey is the only new case of mump?. Seventh Grade. We are very glad to see Janet Riddle and George Mitchell back in school after a long absence because of illness. For our history project, we are making posters on communication

and transportation by land, air and water. Warning: Never loan Margaret Miles a long pencil with an eraser on it because some day a stubby little stick all chewed up without the eraser will come back to you. Mr. Beck read us a very interesting story about Abraham Lincoln, Feburary 12, called “He Knew Lincoln.” Junior News. Well, well, imagine that! Back again on time and on the last lap of our WHO’S WHO that we’ve brought you for the past few months. We’ve had lots of fun digging up pasts, prying in on' personal secrets, discovering likes and dislikes, sizes and weights, puppy loves and romances, and so on, and hope you have all enjoyed this feature just as much as we have. Eugene “Gene” or “Doggie” Miller took his first flight by stork on December 31, 1923, to Syracuse, Indiana. Gene spent his first 8 years of “higher edejecashun” at the Hex school, coming here as a freshman. He grew to his present size of 5 ft 9 inches tali, and weight of 160, and has brown hair and hazel eyes. His hobby is hunting and he more than anytning likes to catch a pheasant for the eating pleasure he derives from it. His favorite color is red, is putting his vote in for women as America’s No. 1 pet peeve, and Gene’s ambition—to be a snow shoveler in deep, dark, Africa. Frances “Toots” Mangus was born in Syracuse in December, the sixteenth day, and the year, 1922. A charter member, Frances is 5 foot 5, weighs 108, has light brown hair, and grayish green eyes. Her hobby is collecting radio pictures, which I’ll bet is very much fun. She dotes on roasted chicken, likes the color, red, and very much dislikes Milford boys!

Being as how ain’t no more to above, and since time’s awastin’ with such tomfoolery, I’ll leave in peace. “Scatterbrain” Senior News. The public speaking class payed tribute to Lincoln’s birthday by responding to roll call Monday with something of Lincoln’s life. The seniors have decided upon the class flower which is “Sweet Paas,” and our class motto which is “Finished, Yet Beginning.” Mr. Reinbold is taking group pictures of the other three classes of the high school and also of the band and basketball team for our senior year books.
