April 28, 1916, 
screen. ‘Two views of the disastrous 
school fire in Peabody last October 
were explained by Deputy Sennott, 
who told how, by a few preventative 
measures, the catastrophe might have 
been avoided. 
‘In conclusion Mr. Sennott read 
selections from a lecture he has given 
to employes of department stores and 
factories in Boston recently. 
“Don’t unpack glass and silverwar~. 
at Christmas time and throw the ex- 
celsior in a corner of the cellar and 
forget it. A few days later some on? 
will go into the cellar with a lightei 
match and your house will be burn- 
ed,” he said. . 
“Don’t start a fire with kerosene. 
“Don't take a match to look into a 
closet. 
“Don’t leave a lighted gas jet near 
a lace curtain while you are answei- 
ing the telephone in another room. 
A sudden draft may blow the curtain 
into the flame and the next thing you 
know a neighbor will knock-at the 
door and tell you your house 1s afire. 
“Don’t put hot ashes in a wooden 
ash barrel; use metal receptacles. 
“Doent’. keep > matches. in paper 
boxes; use a tin can. 
‘Know where the nearest fire box 
is so that if you get up in the night 
with your house afire you can call the 
department. 
“Don’t telephone, use the alarm 
box. That is what it is for. 
_“Tf you telephone don’t say there ts 
a fire on ‘Main st.,’ or whatever streev 
Pace aiiertie comer or nearest 
corner. The other day a woman call- 
ed the telephone operator at a Boston 
fire station and excitedly yelled that 
there was a fire at 4 Linten st. The 
operator understood it, ‘4 Lincoln st.’ 
When the department arrived, after 
a trip to a point half a mile away, we 
found the cellar there. 
“In a theatre always look around 
for the exifs and know where there 
are two of them before settling down 
to enjoy the play. The same applies 
to staying in a strange hotel. 
“Be charitable with your chief at a 
fire. He is doing the best he can. He 
knows his work better than you do, 
so don’t stand by and criticise. We 
expect it in Boston, but we are well 
paid. You are lucky here to have so 
good a department.” 
Before the lecture Mr. Sennott 
paid a visit to the Manchester fire 
station where he looked over the 
equipment. Following the lecture 
ice-cream was served in the vestry. 
Two new members were added to the 
Brotherhood.
