A score of these vessels, | mostly Norwegian and British, are | in Antarctic waters. Eaoh processes j the catch of 5 to 10 whale-hunting j ships. Throughout the decades of 1 whaling only the Japanese have regularly salted down whale meat. Part of the blubber, too, has served to vary their fish and rice diet. Whale meat taken in the postwar Antarctic whaling seasons, however, has been welcomed in many Old World lands. The reason lies partly in critical meat shortages, but also in the fact that immediate refrigeration of the whale meat at the point of catch preserves its perishable palatability. • Early Son Worshipers One interesting aspect of the culture of the early Mogollon Indians (about A.

Their city officials have ordered them not to leave their corporate limits, as the taxpayers within such limits nay all expenses of the fire department and maintain liability insurance on equipment and members of the department. "Suppose a fire department violates the orders of the city officials and responds to a farm fire. Here is what would happen. They take $6,000 to $12,000 vorth of property j belonging to the citizens of the com- j munity over country roads in rei sponse to a farm call. They may i have to draft water from pools or I streams and pick up enough mud and i gravel to make a complete overhaul- , ing of the apparatus necessary, or : they may have a wreck or an accident injuring the equipment or a fireman may be killed or seriously injured. Would the farmer be liable for payment? Certainly not. -f "In the meantime, citizens of the municipality are deprived of the use of their apparatus if > a fire emergency should occur within the municipality. "In 1927, the eeneral assembly of the state of Illinois had the foresight and good judgement to gnact a state law providing for the organization and support of fire pro- • tection districts. Since that time, approximately 140 such districts have been organized in the state, providing fire protection for rural areas with provisions for the cost' to be paid toy taxation of all the 1 p r o p e r t y in the d i s t r i c t . I know of, no instance where any of these organized districts have been dis- ' banded, or where they have not given excellent service for the protection of the lives and propertv of all the citizens within the district.
