Sunday certainly came in with a
.bang with that snqwstorm. A few
: more hours or that white stuff and
all records' would have been
eclipsed-r-as well as Freeport!
Once again the lionses were man-ned
by volunteer crews during Sun-day
and Monday, night. This is
done -because of the difficulty of
getting to a firehou.se through snow-choked
. roads in the 'event of an
alarm and by having men in the
house they can immediately get
under, way. And each company is
certain to have enough men to man
Its equipment. Another duty per-formed
By the night crews is to
keep the entrance to Ihe house
clear of .snow and ico 'so Ihe appara-tus
can get out without diflicuHy it'
necessary. During the anight some
of the comrades also traveled
through the village keeping Ihe

Last but not least, the annual
Christmas party for Ihe children
held n week ago Sunday was a
grand and glorious time. More
than 325 kids attended and I'm sure
that every one of I hem had the
time of his life. The entertain-men!.,
provided by a most proficient
iwpjieteer, was (he focal point of
the afternoon next to the appear-ance
of good old Santa Clans and
the presentation of gifts to' every
child. A hand of thanks to John

portrayed Saint-Nick in a mosi
convincing and jovial manner.

Merry Christmas.

as follows:
"Whereas in emergencies
created by snow storms, fires,
floods and other catastrophes,
the public welfare and safety
depends upon free use of the
streets:
"Therefore, 'be it resolved

Superintendent of P u b l i c
Works and his delegates for
that purpose be empowered to
remove from the public streets
01' the Village of Freepprt all
vehicles that hamper -free use
of the streets, and that cost of
such removal, and if storage be
necessary, the cost of such
storage, be charged against the
owners of such vehicles."
