SCOUTS, OFFICIAL FIREMEN

In Stamford, Conn, boy scouts are
drilled to assist the police in holding
back crowds at fires. They also make
inspections of the schools and report
to the fire department the condition
OF nre escapes, fire extinguishers, fire
doors, hose an5 alarms, and how long
1t takes to get the children out of the
school building in fire drills. They &C.
lively assist in fighting forest fires I'M
der the direction of the fire depart
ments. After having attained second
class rank, Stamford boy scout
may take an examination, which, II
satisfactorily met, entities him to re.
ceive certificate signed by the chief
OF the fire department, the fire marshal
and the scout executive. This GER
tif1cafe makes him formally member
OF the fire department, which may call
upon him for service In time of emer.
gency.
All Blackstone Valley, r. l., is also
to have boy scouts as regular fire de-
partment aids. Scouts are to be in
structed in fire fighting and preven-
ton, and will be so modified as to
be ready for action at given signal
when their assistance Is required.
From the other side of the map, too,
comes the report that in Cordova,
Alaska, boy scout troop is to coop
