The 8 late Taxpayers' Association approved the proposed bond issue on the samejaasis after visiting 20 of the instltut'loos, The advice of experts on fire prevention should guide the spending of this money so that New Jersey ill not have' a hospital tragedy. Just because the exterior of a building is fireproof does not mean that 4t cannot burn'. Home fire prevention is a different problem.
People living en marginal Incomes are in an ate position during a housing shortage. To condemn by legislation the shanties In which many people live Mould be to deprive many of any shelter at all. The only answer is to treat fire with the utmost respect, to check heating equipment annually, and have some type of fire extinguisher handy at all times. RETIRING FROM PUBLIC LIFE Upon his retirement from public life last Sunday. Dr.
William C. Errickson must feel that he has made i real contribution to. the community. He has served Freehold for 15 years as a member of the of Education and for three years as a mem- brr. of the Borough' Council.
'He was also president of the Monmouth county association of. school boards and of the local board. Freehold is fortunate in attracting to its governing bodies members who serve without pay. It is only then spirit of public service which prompts them to sacrifice their spare time for meetings and conferences and to listen to the complaints and criticisms of citizens who have different Idess on how thing should be done. The only compensation- may be found in the prids of being a public official and in the satisfaction of leaving an imprint, upon the history of the community.
A-s chairman of the finance committee. Dr. Errickson has kept the Borough within its budget. The year was completed with a surplus of several thousand dollars. We congratulate Dr.
Errickson on his contributions and wish him contentment in the additional time he now' has to devote to his family, his profession and his hobbies.

others than for himself. And In the end he came out alright. Mr. Franklin was msny things, statesman, patriot, suthor. publisRer." printer, scientist, inventor, diplomat, philosopher and volunteer fireman.
