Signs of the Times What a dither the world is in! An escaped leopard has had residents of Oklahoma City in a panic. In London, Attlee and his fellow Labor-itcs arc apprehensive. In Pittsburgh, everybody's excited about the coal strike. And in Tacoma, the municipal elections have had the town in a tizzy. Isn't it wonderful to live in suburban Pierce County, where we have nothing in the world to fret about, but can sit back in our easy chairs and read the !atcst copy of the Parkland Times! Of course not everything is completely tranquil in the South End. Interest is increasing in the upcoming elections, paxticularly in the Bethel district, where the voters will declare whether or not they are satisfied with the 3-1 acre site and whether they want themselves to be taxed 20 mills to help build a new high school. School elections arc also on tap in the Franklin-Pierce district and in the Clover Creek district. \'\' e will emphasize it more next week, but we also want to cmpha~ize it this week-don't fail to vote! Due to the tremendous grnwth of population in the South End during the last few years, the old sprawling precincts have become overt:rowded. In fact, there were tluee precincts in th~s area in which more than 1,000 votes were cast in the election. Since precincts are supposed to handle no more than 300 voters each, this meant a great deal of waiting in line and other inconvenience. During the past few months, the county planning commission, the county commissioners, the county clerk and the county auditor have been busy slicing up the suburban South Encl so that voters won't have to travel so far lo the polls each time. For instance, Parkland's two precincts Jiav(; been divided into eight. Four new precincts have been created in the Midland-Summit district._ Some of the new polling places have already been determined, but due to th city elections this week, this job won't be completed for a few days yt. Watch the Times next week for a report on where you will be voting.

ansion Destroyed

Fires swept through two South End homes last Thursday night, burning both to the ground. But damage was estimated at $25,000 at one and only $25 at the other. The junior conflagration was at 115th and Sheridan in Parkland, where a blaze gutted the humble bachelor quarters of H. Knight. The two·rnom place was totally destroyed, but since it was constructed with cardboard, old Coca-Cola signs and driftwood, the loss didn't amount to much. But at th.e Brookdale residence, it was a far different story. Charles McPhail, own.er of the McPhail Engineering Co. had purchased the lavish country home, secluded in the woods along Spanaway Creek about eight blocks west of Poel1el's, about a year and a half ago. The house itself was beautiful, being built with hand-hewn logs. McPhail had made extensive additions and installed much electrical equipment. The home was said to be furnished with expensive furniture and

antiques. Everything was a total loss in the blaze. Because no one was at home at the time and because of confusion on the part of neighbors repo.rting the fire, the flames gained considerable head,. way before any fire-fighters arrived on the scene. First report of the fire came to the Spanaway Fire Station about 8:30 Thursday night, whe'n a boy phoned to say that there seemed to be some sort of a fire back of his. place. Chief Chet McAtee told the lad to check further while he alerted his volunteers. " But when the youngster had affirmed his finding, the phone line to the hall was clogged, and he called Parkland's smoke-eaters instead. Believing the fire to be in their district, they immediately dispatched their two best rigs. When they discovered that the blaze was within Spanaway's boundaries, the Parkland firemen got the telephone operator to clear the party line so that the Spanaway department

could be summoned. When Spanaway's rigs pulled in, Parkland retrieved its two engines, sending its older truck to help the Spanawayltes. Parkland's engine utilized its porta· ble motor to suck a steady stream of water from the creek to keep the ffomes from spreading to surrounding buildings. It was fortunate that Parkland's two rigs were i:ecalled to the home station, because the alarm ·from the Knight shack came just after they returned. But since all but four of Parkland's firemen were out battling the McPhail blaze, a call was made for Midland to send a truck to help fight the second fire. Neighbors living in the new "housing project" just east of the !{;night hut were glad to hear that the. old man wasn't incinerated but weren't too sad at seeing the unsightly shack go up in smoke. Incidentally, both of last Thursday night's .conflagrations attracted sizt'able crowds of spectators in spite of the drizzle. Chief Lewis Duffey of the Parkland department warns :would-be fire-chasers that it is against the law to follow fire equipment. Duffey has. given his men orders to take down the license numbers of all cars trailing the fire buggies and turn them over to the state patrol.
