He explained how they are fonned and different "l'""'^** grow, how the divoi-s risk Little property "which - their lives with the shark and octtLpus
had   previously   been    objected    to   by a majority of those who had been con¬ tinuously  act;ve  throughout  the  lile of Ihc fire company. The recurrence of an opposition   to   the   decision   made       oy this majority at the regular November nieeting   completely   ujisot   the   princi¬ pals of the  oi-ganizaljon, and  the fact, that wiiat seemed a settled nvilter re- | hitive   to  the   object   of   the   organiza^- tion  to   remove   to   another       location, | having   been   again   brought   to       the, tloor,. greatly    embanassod    those who had attempted to stablize the situation [ before,  arui  resulted   in  a       conflictin,S , ballot  which   not  only   brought     about the decision  to  romam  for the  present tn  the  same   location,  but to  purchase the   LilUe    lol,   contrary   to   the   vote at  the   previous   nieeting.   tjuch   action not   only   appeared       unpurliamentai-y but  radical,  and   from   this   has arisen on antagonism whicii will greatly ham¬ per tho status of the Harmonville ]'"ire company.  AVhat  the  future  may  bring ftorth   is  a   conjecture,  but   tbe  fact   is there is much discouj-agement portray¬ ed  not  only  by  many  of  the  substan

Lower Horsham Civic Association Adds
j     29   Members—Airplane   Bucks   Pilot	
Rev. Frederick Cate Has Pneumonia '     —Jarrettown and  Dresher.
The   keynote   of   cummunity   interest and   co,opei-ation   wus   sounded   oy   A. H.   lioiHl   In   the   upon  meeting   uf   the Lower  Horsham  Civic  associiition  last Monday  evening.  In a clear  statement itlativo  to  Uie  ineanirg  of a   civie or¬ ganization   in   a   small   suburban   vil¬ hige  Air.   Hood   expu.sed   the   numerou.'j enterpri.ses  w.th   which   such       an   as¬ sociation   of   citizen   residonts       must cope.   Further   he   pointed    out   in   hlM address  to the iisseiublage  the  duty  of every citizen lo become a  member ".and help  in keeping  li.s  and   her  eummun-i ing  -M.aee with  the  progres.sion  of  the day. The civic iissocialion of any com¬ munity lends lo Uie betterment uf civ¬ ic   condiUons,   lhe   uplift   of   civic   en¬ terpris*?  and   the  eonsirucUun   of  spirit iMid    pride   uf    the    individual    resident in      his   surround.ngs.   Thus   was   the Lower   Jlorsham,     Civic       -K.ssueiation .fonned, and it is for these stato<l  pur¬ po.ses   Uiat   women   and   mon   of       the communiiy   are   asked   to   join   in   the work.   2!)   new-   niembers   answered   his plea   ol    co-operat.on.   lAIany   of   these are   women.   The   civic   body   has   just opened  ils  membership  to  lh<.       lalter stricUy   fur   the   purpose   of   e.vpandlng the  sense  of  eommunity   uplift.     .After Air.   Hood   had   nuule   his   opening   adi- dress   to   the   visitors   and   meiiiber.s  of , the  a.ssoc.ation   he   requested   the   for- I mer  lo  wiliii ss  tlieir  manner  of  busi- I ness. A regular meeting was then held, i Committees reported and  new   buslnes's brought   forth   various   (liscussiuns   for I civic   beticiiiKnl.   Al   the   end   of   this I order   Air.   Hood   called   forth   surges-' lions   from   the   visiting   residents   and I received   a  very   encouraging   response , of which several vilal suggestions evol¬ ved.  The  inveKlitiire  of     2!)  newmem- , bers    was   then   nuule.   A    sucial   get- together was then  enjoyed,  terminated . with   the  serving  of  refresiiments. i     The   "take-off"   of   one   of   the   I'it- , cairn plane seiided  in a  iio.se-dive, one diiy last week, when the pilot altenipt- , ed  lo sliirt  his  machine alone.      After .twinging the i ropollor and stiirt ing his niotor he serampled lo the fusil.ige Juat as  the   niai^hino   lipped   forward   under its own  power. As lhe tail uf the plane swung   upward   the   pilot   cl.ng   to   the side  of   his   plane  as  it  went   into   *he dive.   The   impact   broke   the   propcllor and   sUilled   the   engine,   but   the   man clinging   lu   the   side   was   unhurt.       It appeals  impossii>le   to  stall   Uie   planes alone, as th.s is a comnion occurrence, , when   it  is   tried.   The   pilot   must   re¬ main   at   the   controls    when   the   en¬ gine is started.
