Fire damage within the city
limits during 1948 resulted in a
total of $13,050, with a loss per
capita of $2.90, Fire Chief Theo-
dore E. Deer, reported Tuesday.
'Of the damages $8,325 was for
[loss cn b,uildings and $4,725 was
loss on contents.
DEER POINTED' out that the
liquor store damages were not
included in the summary because
that structure burned January 2
of 1949. Damages estimated for
the first fire of 1949 were $30,000,
which is more than the losses for
the entire year of 1948.
An average of five firemen an-
swered a total of 82 alarms dur-
ing the past year. Of these there
were 55 telephone calls, 19 siren
alarms, four special, three radio,
and one false alarms, There were
5 fires with loss and 26 fires
without loss.
CAUSES OF FIRES listed in-
clude chimney 19, overheated
stove 9. flooded oil stove 6. brush
and grass 7, careless smoking 5,
and others.
Fire data compiled for the year
are sent to fire underwriters and

are made for the whole remarry,
Deer said. "The damage informa-
tion is used in determining insur-
anne rates."

Community Council Meets
Tonight To Consider Issues
(Editorial)
By [larry R. Bay
Meeting tonight at 8 o'clock in
the Welfare Building, members of
the Shelton-Mason County Com-
munity Council will consider ques-
tions relating to possibilities of
enlisting the aid of the city's
schools in formulating a central.
ized recreational program that
can operate 'as successful during
winter as it did in the summer
months.
TIlE IIISTORY of the present
recreational body is marked by
the spirited enthusiasm of civic-
minded persons and organizations
that saw a need to combat a ris-
ing wave of youthful waywardness
occasioned during and since the
war and to provide a comprehen-
sive program that would detour
youthful efforts into constructive
channels of wholesome activity.
During summer' the success (

nance. He spent 31 months in the
South Pacific and attained the
rank of major before returning to
inactive status. He holds that com-
mission now in the Army Reserve.
With flowers for the ladies and
balloons for the youngsters, the
new Shell Oil ,ervice station at
First and CoLa-streets holds its
grand opening this Friday eve-
nmg at 6:30 o'clock under the
guicting hands of two young form-
cr serviceInen, Ben Banner and
John Burnctt, who combine their
energies in entering business for
themselves ffter several years of
faithful srwce to Shelton em-
ployers.
The new Banner & Burnet Shell
station will offer a complete au-
tomotive service except major
mechanical repairs, featuring Shell
Oil products and Firestone acces-
sories for cars and trucks.
THE GRAND OPENING at 6:30
p.m. Friday will be attended by
a searchlight battery brought to
Shelton especially for the occa.
sion by the Shell Oil Company.
Free corsages will b presented
the first 125 women to visit the
new station and balloons will be
given all youngsters.
Daily operating hours of the
new station will be from 7 a.m,
to 10 p.m., the new operators an-
nounced yesterday.
The new station operators are

Kneeland Park was sufficient to
start sponsoring bodies, led by the
Junior Chamber of Commerce, to
agitate for a year-round program
under the direction of E. Lucky
Luck. Meeting September 23, the
council, composed of 114 .represen-
tatives from the civic, fraternal
clubs, church groups, drew up a
constitution and by-laws, started
the ball rolling to have a perm-
anent council.
TtlE %VINTER'S program got
underway. Feeling that Shelton
residents should not be "railroad-
ed" into such a movement, city
commissioners decided to place on
the December 6 ballot the ques-
tion of paying a recreation direc-
tor $3,000 a year or a full-time
job. and a portion of the elector-
ate approved it with a vote of
763 for, and 494 against, the vote
showing considerable opposition.
The big winter project of the
council was the sponsoring ' on
December 23 of the county-wide
Christmas tree event, attended by
800 to 1,000 youngsters and par-
ents.
So far as the recreation pro-
l gram is concerned, there still are
many problems facing the resi-
dents in Sbelton, City officials
claim that the cost of the project
puts a strain on municipal fin-
ance. Recreation board members
admit that facilities are lacking
