' Once more we do most solemn- ly and earnestly ask our North Shore citizens to bring good sense to bear on the question. A gen- eral forbidding of mouse of fire nuns and explosives is not sum. cient. A stern and rigorous pro- hibition should be attended with wise and entertaining exercises. which may include jubilant joy( for young America. and express- ions of patriotism that shall be more lasting than a fire cracker,’ and more impressiie than a bomb or a rocket. Yet we ddibetately'go on fron‘ year to year encburaging a reck- less sacrifice of limb and lite. and, make no: effort to arrest the slaughter.
