BICYCLES ARE IMPOUNOEO

STATE PATROL SEIZES DEFECTIVE VEHICLES AT PARKLAND SCHOOL Thirteen bicycles were impounded at the Parkland School Monday by Paul Pattison of the Washington state patrol because of faulty equipment making the111 unsafe to ride along the highways. Nine other bikes were tagged for defects- and these will be impounded if they are not repaired. A II the vehicles are being held at the school by the patrol until assured by parents of the owners that defects will be remedied. Officer Pattison was at the school \\i cdncsday afternoon to meet with the parents and to impres:; 011 them that the state law requires certain bicycle equipment. Tl e also emphasized that im~ pounding of the bikes is an action of the state patrol ancl school authorities have nothing to dowith it. Start of. Campaign The round-up at Parkland School Monday is the first of a number of visits to be made at all the schools in the county, Patrolman Prentiss stated and so if bicycle riders would avoid trouble they should check their '"rigs" to see that they comply with the law. The state patrol feels that if school students become safety conscious now and learn to heed highway requirements they will be that much safer on the highways when they drive cars in later years. The rules are that all bicycles must pass a safety ins·;:cction and must be equipped with 3-inch rcflectors, fenders, hand grips that are glued on and a chain tight enough to avoid slipping. Rules for riding on the roads are the same as for automobiles. Hand signals should be used and slow vehicles mnst move aside for faster traffic.

One of the year's most impressive meetings- of the HarvardMidland PTA, commemorating the birthday of the organization, was held \Vcdnesday afternoon in ~lw J\Jidland School.

"Foundation of the P.T.A. at 1-lan'ard and Past Presidents," an essay written by Mrs. H. R. Dryden, P.T.A. member, was read by Mm. Elsie Hiller. ' Gardenia corsages were presented to the eight past presidents and the annual serving of the "Founder Day" cake was held. Refreshments were provided by the ninth grade parents with six ninth grade girls sen'ing. A short business meeting, pres-ided oYer by Mrs. E. A.

I CALL FIREMEN IN

ANY EMERGENCY The H. M. & L. and Parkland fire departments would like to call to the attention of the people they serve, that answering fire calls is NOT their only duty. A fireman's first duty is to save life. Secondly, to save property. Too many people think of a fire department (such as Parkland and Midland) only in case of a fire. A fire department should be called for any emergency where life and property is endangered, regardless of cause. For example, a child caught her hand in a wringer and the mother was 20 minutes working frantically to get her loose. A call to your fire department would in most cases ease the situation. Another instance is that a child may lock himself in a bathroom, crawl into the tub and in his play turn on the water. A call to your fire department would bring trained men to your aid. These cases have happened and could happ-en again. The fire department is a public service-use it! The H. M. & L. phone number is GR 7161; Parkland fire department, GR 7141.

TWO FILE ·FOR MIDLAND POST ROY PIRIE AND EMIL RODY SEEK SCHOOL BOARD POSITION

M.idland School District No. 304 will hold its annual school election March 2, 1946, between the hours of 1 p. m. and 8 :00 p. 111. in the Midland Junior High School sewing room. Two people have filed as candidates for the three year term of director in the election. Roy E. Pirie, incumhent, retired official of Carstens Packing Co. and widely known in s.porting circles., has filed as candidate to succeed himself on the board for the three year term. Mr. Pirie has been a resident of Midland school district for the past 28 years. He has three sons and one daughter, all of whom have attended Midland schools. Mr. I'iric's hobbies are sports and gardening_ Mr. Pirie has s-erved approximately seven years as director of the Midland schools. Contractor Files Emil J. Rody, contractnr, has also filed as a candidate for the three year term. Mr. Hody has resided in the Midland school district for the past 18 years. He is engaged in farming and excavating contracting. Mr. Rody resides at Rt. 76, Box 106. Mr. Rody has follr sons, three of whom have attended .l\iidland School, the youngest not yet of school age. Mr. Rody's hobby is working in Pentacostal Sunday School work. People are urged to turn out Satnrday, March 2, 1946. This is the fir.,t time in 10 years that there has been a contest in the Midland school district for a board position. Last year only 26 people voted in the district. This- ·was a very poor showing out of a possible 2,000 voters. Now that there is a contest perhaps more voters will go to the polls. The present board is composed of Mike Hansler, chairman; Andrew Christensen, clerk, and R. E. Pirie.

r 400 VOTERS CAST BALLOTS 395 SAY YES; ONLY 5 AGAINST I~·LAST SATURDAY'S ELECTION FOR

__ . __ 395

Against .................. 5 There's· the answer to whether residents of Parkland and vicinity want an organized fire protection district. An even 400 persons took time to go to the voting place in Parkland SchL>ol last Saturday and only fi1·e of these were against the proposal. This overwhelming favorable vote is Ycry gratifying to all persons who have worked to get more and better fire protection in the Parkland area. Members of the volunteer fire department are especially happy as they had taken the lead in setting up the fire district. The Parkland Community Club als-o backed the move. Three Commissioners The ballot in Saturday's election also carried the names of three perso11s to be voted on for fire district commissioners. E. W. Beitz, Fred Danielson and C. R. Marsh will be the administrators of the new iire protection set-up. 1t will be fil'c days before an official can vas·S of the vote is made by the county and then the commissioners will be sworn in shortly after. They will then meet and set up a permanent organization and make plans· for adequate fire protection. The residents within the district can now be assessed four mills and the money used to provide the necessary fire fighting equipment. Workers Thanked Stewart Palmer, Mrs. Roy Peterson, Mrs. Fred Danielson and Mrs. Harry Beitz put in approximately 14 hours in the polling place Saturday acting as the election board. This was all voluntary work without pay and the thanks of the community goes to them for this full day of labor. ---0--

A Vote of Confidence

The Parkland community took a progressive step forw;ird--and they did it with enthusiasm-when voters Saturday approved forming a fire district with an overwhelming majority. That there is need for fire protection is obvious. but getting a community to recognize these things and to understand all the details takes organization. Members of Parkland's volunteer fire department, the Parkland Community Club and a number of individuals are to be commended for their efforts in this direction. Especially noteworthy has been the fire department's work in showing the need for a bigger and better fire protection set-up. Obtaining a fire truck by personally signing notes for the pu.rchase price, a handful of Parkland men organized the volunteer fire department and from the first it has proved an invaluable asset to the community. Many thousands of dollars worth of CLOVER CREEK BAPTIST property have been saved for citizens all over the South End. CHURCH Now these men can feel that they have been given a vote l\lilitary lfoad opposite Clover Creek School of thanks and a directive to carry on with the assurance that Sunday School, 9 :SS a. m. Geo. the citizens of the district are willing tc assume added taxes so Chessum, Supt. that an equal share of the expenses will be met by all. Better Morning worship, 11 a. m.

Brotherhood ... A Challenge This is Brotherhood Week-in the new Atomic Age. Here is a challenge worthy of Americans. Can we work together with our neighbors at home and abroad, and enjoy an era of peace and prosperity such as the world has never known? Or shall we muff the peace and plunge the world into complete destruction? In a few rt10nths or years we may no longer have the choice. Just now it's still up to us. We know we must get along with other nations, in spite of the fact that their languages. their customs. and even tbeir political systems are different from our own. This may not be as difficult as it sounds. For friendship begins at home, and America is a great laboratory. We have already learned to un· derstand and respect many different people-the neighbors down the block who attend a different church, the folks on
