Preparations are being made in Providence for the forty fourth annual convention of the international Asso- citation of Fire Chiefs, which will car " with it the greatest demonstra- ton of modern fire apparatus ever given in the United States, as well as l parade of flremen and a general tournament for the old-time hand-e en- zine squirting contests. 1t is the cus- :om for all fire departments to be represented by. their chiefs at these conventions, but some are barred by reason of the big expense incurred by .he long distances from the city con Tention. It is presumed, however, that every fire department in New England will be represented at the Providence convention, and that the chiefs will not be put to any financial loss by be- ng present to gain information that will be of great value to the depart nents they represent.
 Westerly has never been represent sd at any of these conventions, but probably will be at the coming one, only 45 miles away.
 One of the features of the big con- Sention will be the discussion of pa pers on topics pertaining to fire fight ng. In addition is the special session Q be devoted to a round table" dis ,ussion, no set subjects, no papers, lust an old-fashioned talk across the able"
