      Beldon and Canfield are two seaside towns, not far from each other. Both towns have many hotels, and in
summer the hotels are full of holiday-makers and other people.

the town's newspaper-THE BELDON POST:
                                            Fire at Seabreeze
     Late last night firemen (消防隊員) hurried to the Seabreeze Hotel and quickly
put out a small fire in a bedroom.The hotel manager said that a cigarette (香煙)
started the fire. We say again to all our visitors, "Please don't smoke cigarettes in
bed." This was Beldon's first hotel fire for five years.

                               Another Beldon Hotel Catches Fire
     Last night Beldon firemen arrived just too late to save clothing, bedclothes and
other things at the Seabreeze Hotel. An angry holiday maker said, "An electric
lamp (電燈) probably started the fire. The bedroom lamps are very old at some
of these hotels. When I put my bedside light on, I heard a funny noise from the
lamp." We are glad to tell our readers that this kind of accident (事故) does not
happen in Canfield.
