‘GDOD NEWS FOR BOYS:
They are Granted Permissfon to Shoot Fire
: Crackers on the Sth.
At a regular meeting of the borough |
council of DuBois last week, Burgess
Moore was asked for an opinion from
eouncil as te the matter of permitting
the use of fire crackers on the Fourth
of July. The councilmen were anani-
mous in the opinion that the boys
_shouid be given the privilege and that '
their patriotism should not be curbed,
except that they should use due cantion
tn prevent accidents and fires.
The ordinance relating to the use of
fre works was referred to for informa-
tion as to whether the privilege could
be granted, when it was learned t
could upon any occasion desired, and
on motion the burgess was. authorized
to ase his own discretion regarding the
granting of the privilege on the Fourth.
He stated that he favored granting the
privilege, and also asked for an .indi-
vidual opinion rom the councilmen.
The members of council were unani-
mous, is stated, and the boys can go
abead and shoot for at least one any.
The Courier thinks it womid be
advisable for the council of Patton to
take the same srZion and give the boys
full sway on the greatest of all Nation-
al a Independence Day.
