FIREMEN'S DAY IN FREEPORT-LABOR DAY
EVENTS BIG SUCCESS-HOSE 4 POINT WINNER
Harold Smith and Herman Gissel Tie as Point Winners—Games Last Until After Dark- Pamper Beats Steamer--"Gray-EIks" Band Plays During Afternoon
All Freeport turned out for the eight annual games of the Fire De¬ partment Monday, which were big¬ ger and better than ever before. Both sides of the course were well lined ¦with cars and village foUis who had come to spur their favorite on to 'vic¬ tory in the various events of the day. Features of the games were the winning by Hose 4 of the point tro¬ phy, which gives them a victory for every year that there has been such an event. Another feature was the tieing of Harold Smith of Hose 4 and Herman Gissel of Hose 3 aa individ¬ ual point winners. Each had a total of eighteen. The Truck Company won a strictly hose company event and a hose company won a strictly ladder event.
Intermittent showers served to keep the dust down a little but were not heavy enough to cause anyone to go home.
The Officials Officials for the day were as fol¬ lows: Timers, Hiram R, Smith, Sid¬ ney Baumann, Gilbert McClellan; judges, C. VanRiper, Henry L. Maxon, Howard E. Pearsall, Raymond Miller- scorer, Clarence Edwards; starter, F. Holland; measurers, J. S. Randall, jr., 8. Dimon Smith; announcer, Irving H, Schicbcr.

It was won by Earl Paul¬ son, with Chief Clarence Williams of the   Freeport   Fire   Department   sec- and and Raymond Combs third. One Mile Inter-company Relay Won by Hose 4, time 4 minutes 28 4/5 seconds.    Hose 2 was second and Hose 3 third.

Hose 3 and Hose 4 fluked and Hose 1 made such a bad start that they were out of it. A team of ex-chiefs and the pres¬ ent chief did the distance in 55 2/5 seconds. A hose company from Roose¬ velt entered this event, but could do no better than 58 1/5 seconds. Water Throwing The gasoline pumper outclassed the steamer in this event, throwing a stream 173 feet 3 inches. The steam¬ er's distance vras 166 feet 7 inches. Water Fight The much heralded water flght turn¬ ed out to be a ficzle after the long wait. It was run off under the street jttght, as it was dark by the time this event was ready. The teams were to stand fWty feet apart and play •water upon each other xlhtil one gave up, bnt the water woulant reach that far Finally they moved up until the men wete drinking out of the nozsles, but the pressure vras not heavy enough to make them let go. It was declared • draw after many piinutes "fighting." (Continued on Page 7)

THREE HURT IN
AUTO accident;
and Randall Avenue—Worst Auto  Wreck   in  Years
One   of   the   worst   accidents   that I
Fire damaged the home of J. A. Canalizo, at the corner of South Side and Ocean avenues Friday, a little af¬ ter noon. The family were not at home and Mrs. Canalizo was shocked to see her home in flames when she re¬ tumed from the village.
The fire started in the attic of the house from an unknown cause and the damage was confined to the roof of the house which was blazing merrily when the apparatus arrived.
Several streams soon squelched the flames and the water damage was comparatively light. Excitement pre¬ vailed for a time on account of the close proximity of the Crystal Lake House, but the flames were never be¬ yond the control of the first com¬ pany, who were on the scene in less than five minutes after the alarm was turned in.

Battle Atmosphere
Strife was in the air from the out.set, when it came to getting a chairman for the meeting. Elvin Edwards and Smith Cdx were nominated, the for¬ mer winning by five votes. He was dignity and faimess throughout the proceedings and handled the difficult situations in a manner that showed wisdom in making him chairman.
He read a section of the Education Law, section 197, which states that nothing but sites shall be discussed aLjsuch a meeting, and requested the people to confine themselves to the subject and not indulge in personali¬ ties,
.\ motion was made to take a vote for the purpose of determining wheth¬ er the people even wanted a high .school or not, but the motion was ov¬ erruled.
Tellers Appointed
The following tellers were appoint¬ ed by the chair: Mrs. Benjamin Asch, Hilbert Johnson, Major Holland and Waller Rhodes. Chairman Edwards then read the section of the law that applies to those who are eligible to vote at such a meeting and warned the people tliat illegal voting was an infraction of the law, and that offen¬ ders were liable to punishment. C. Dwight Baker Speaks
C. Dwight Baker, president of the Board of Education, was the first to have the floor, he said in part:

Board ft Hducation.
"After the meeting of June 14, at which time the one high school site proposed failed of approval by 80 votes, the Board of Education secured the services of a group of local real estate agents to assist in securing op¬ tions for additional sites. The only restrictions placed on the agents be¬ ing that the sites should be of suita¬ ble dimensions, fairly central to the population, and the price reasonable. The agents, after si» weeks' labor, during which time they were con¬ stantly in touch with the school board, reported they had secured options on the three parcels which are submitted for your consideration this evening."
"Since advertising these sites they have from certain sources, been sub¬ jected to a vicious attack and a cam¬ paign of deceit and misrepresentation undertaken with the sole purpose in mind of defeating the favorable con¬ sideration of any of the propositions. I will endeavor dispassionately, for your better understanding to analyze the arguments put forth by the prop¬ osition. Then you can judge whether you are going to ba influenced by the few who have taken it upon them¬ selves to <lefeat the judgment of the Board of Education.
Comments On Review
"As a starter let us take the local newapaper which is apparently the medium the opposition has utilized in making their propoganda public. Re¬ ferring to the news and editorial an¬ nouncements of this meeting in the is¬ sue of August 6. The editorial wound up by stating: 'Come prepared to vote and back the Board of Education with your confidence. They are worthy of it in every respect.' Then again in the news item the following appear¬ ed: 'Xhe Board of Education has no special favorites in any of the school sites and their sole object is to allev¬ iate the scljool conditions that now ex¬ ist in Freeport at the present time. If the taxpayers intend that a new school shall be given to the village, the time to vote on it will be at this meeting as delay in the matter only increases the cost and does not change the con¬ ditions in the school.'
"This presumably repreaented the true sentiment of the community. However, it was apparently put out before conferring with and ascertain¬ ing the views of the powers that be who i-epresent the opposing faction be¬ cause in the issue of August 12, being the following week, the designation of the proposed sites was bitterly at¬ tacked and mo»t unfairly treated. It wag not the intention of the Board to dignify this attack by making any re¬ ply. "The thought being that the real motive behind the opposition would develop which has happened. In the issue of the following week on August 20, there appeared on the front page sn article headed in large type, read¬ ing as follows: 'New sites suitable for school on sale. Cost les« than the 'proposed locations.' The article starts off by criticizing the utter and woeful failure of the school hoard to lay before the people six other avail¬ able sites. Four of the sites referred to are mentioned in the same issue by an advL'Ttisement of a large holder of real estate in our village. Although vhe advertia^jment failed purposely to give the exact location of sitei, con¬ siderable emphasis was placed on their being more central than the proposed sites and cheaper.   We have
