Signal. VOL. XXIV. SILVER SPRINGS, N. Y., THURSDAY, JULY 20. 1916 No. 51 Castile Firemen on Booster Trip M»do a Social Visit to Silver Springs in Interest of Big Centennial. About thirty members o f the Cas tile fire department motored over Monday evening to extend the glad h d t o the Silver Springs firemen d incidentally invite the people of His village to attend the centennial celebration and county firemen's par- ,de to be held in that village Thurs day and Friday, Aug. 10th and 11th. Die village of Castile is going to celebrate its 100th anniversary on Aog, 10th, with an historical parade and otber interesting features, and tie fire companies of Wyoming county will hold theirannualconven t lon and parade on Aug. 11th, in connection with the centennial. It is expected that tbe ne w improved highway through the village will be in shape for tbe event, the village will be in gala attire and the biggest crowd Castile ever entertained is ex pected. On their arrival here, the Castile firemen were taken t o the Orescent Theatre, where Manager Terry run off two reels of Charlie Chaplin's fanny capers, after which the vis itors were escorted t o Village Hall where refreshments were served. Alter the luncheon, Chief L . M. Clark of.the Silver Springs Fire De partment welcomed the visitors to our city. Chief R. F . Schornstein of the Castile department responded and gave the Silver Springs firemen and tbe citizens generally a cordial invitation to meet with them on firemen's day in their village. Judge E. B. Windsor of Castile followed him with a few remarks and called attention to the centennial celebra tion to he held tbe da y previous and urged oor villagers to be sore and be Castile's guests both days. Very happily and fortunately for tboee present, Dr. W. B. Bartlett, one of Castile's live wir e boosters, brought over with hi m his brother-in- law, Mr. Edwin F. Whitney, of the once famous Whituey Bros, quartette, who entertained the crow d with story and anecdote for nearly half an hour In bis own inimitable way . Hon. M. N. Cole and Dr. A. B Harding of Castile also spoke of the coming big events in that place and urged as many as could to come over and join them on both days of the celebration. The visit of the Castile firemen is greatly appreciated by their brother firemen of Silver Springs and we think the visit will lesnlt in a better feeling of unity be tween the firemen o f the tw o vil lages, and if more of these get-to getber meetings could be held, a feel ing of brotherly love and friendship voold spring up that would work for the betterment o f villages of this size and oreate mor e interest in their fire departments. Tbo people of Oastile are planning big events for centennial week and it is up to the citizens of this village to help oat their nearest neighbor in every way possible. Make your plans to attend both days of the eel ebration, tell your friends in other Places what a big time Castile is go ing to have, invite them to accom pany yon and show the people of that town that yon are wit h them heart »nd soul in making their centennial one of the biggest events ever held in Western New York. Both fire com Panies, with a band, will be in the o'g parade Friday, and we have no doubt large numbers o f our citizens will attend the celebration both days. hat Playground Proposition. As noted in tbe call for the annual school meeting, the taxpayers of this district are asked to vote on the prop osition of purchasing additional land for a playground, something that is badly needed. Two proposi tions are up for consideration. One containing about one aore of land for price of $300, while the otber gives the district about three additional acres for $1250. This latter amount, if voted, can be paid in five yearl y installments, if desired. Now the question is, which do we, as a district, want. The one acre added would help, but is it nouRh? If we're going to have a playground, let's have one—one large enough for a ball diamond or a foot ball field for the boys, with ten- is courts and croquet grounds for the eirls. The three acre parcel of land would just about do it: It would probably take abont $500 more to grade off the lot, but by a small pay ment each year, tbe taxpayers would hardly feel it. As the district is practically the village, let's make it community affair and have a play ground, where w e can all enjoy our selves. Some of those fine ol d ap ple trees on tbe plot at present could be left so there would be abundant shade and-that parcel of land could be so arranged that it would be a veritable village park. Go over and look a t the parcel of land, see it's possibilities and then be able to vote intelligently and for tbe bt at inter ests of tbe district and village at tbe school meeting. The columns of next week's Signal will be open to any and all, wh o wish to discuss the matter, and whether you favor the proposition or not, let others know what you think about it Sign your communication, but if you do not wish your name publish ed, it will be withheld.

The law says that people visiting a ooality and coming from an infeoted district, mast keep as much as pos sible by themselves and be absolutely prohibited from attending public gatherings; if the above notice is not observed, more strenuous measures will be used. It will be necessary for all to co operate by furnishing information to the Board of Health. We welcome at all times useful suggestions and information from oar neighborhood; which will give us increase in the efficiency of prevention. The State Board of Health advises pasteuriza tion of milk as a most important measure in the prevention of disease. Home rules for pasteurizing milk —Small tin pail, saucer in bottom, put a bottle of milk in pail, pour warm water into pail and le t milk come to boil.
