LET'S DO
SOMETHING
ABOUT IT!
CARELESS PARKING seems to
bu ii growing habit on the "part of.
many of the people of Orange at
this time. A little investigation
will reveal the tact that many of
the business people park their
cars in the business section,
sometimes in front of their
own places and leave them there
for the major part of the day. In
a few instances cai;s have been
observed parked the wrong way-
in the business section.
FOUR AT A CLIP will be the
order in Sunday's ship launching
to take place at. the Consolidated
Steel Corporation,. Lfd., shipbuild-
ing division plant. This would
seem to broaden the avenue of ac-
tivities in the outfitting depart-
ments while the work" of con-
struction on new shops progresses
at an increased speed to add fury
to the thorn in-the side of the axis
forces.
GOOD FIRE PROTECTION is
further assured for the Orange
area through the added equlp-
ipent in a pew two - story bplld-
: 'ing;
fighters to- the department. A
most ideal foundation for activi-
ties of tho Orange fire department
has been laid through the past
few years and months by Orange
firemen who have achieved a
wonderful record in keeping their
home city within the avenues of
low fire insurance rates'. Orange
people feel justly proud of their
fire department.
