Fire Whistle to
Aid School Children
At a meeting of the Fire Council of the Freeport Fire IJepartrnent held Tueaday evening, Ward C. Moon, Sup¬ erintendent of Schools, asked the co operntion of the department in notify¬ ing parents and children during severe and stormy weather of the postpone ment of achool sessions. It was de¬ cided, starting as soon as proper notice can be given throughout tbe village, to have a single long blast blown un the fire whistle at 8:15 a. m. if there ia to be no mot ning session, end a sim¬ ilar blaat at 12:30 if there is to be no afternoon sessicn. The wardens con¬ sidered tbat tbe slight confusion of the whistle blowing at that time would be more than justided by the convenience to parents and younger children.
