GUARD AGAINST
POSSIBLE FRAUDS

Plans to guard against promis-
cuous solicitations for outside char
tiles we're made at a recent meeting
OF the General Jewish Committee.
In the future those seeking con-
tributions will have to have the sane
ton OF the executive board of the
committee. The solicitor will have
to appear and expain the use
TO which money solicited Is
TO be applied. If the object Is worthy
his credentials win be signed. BY this
method the committee hopes to elm
mate all unnecessary canyassing and
protect the Jewish residents OF this
city from fraud.
Another matter taken up by the
committee was that concerning con-
certs and social affairs in general.
During the past year many social
events designed TO raise funds for
worthy objects were held without
thought and many dates conflicted
which prevented the Jewish public
from giving their full support.
Bulletins will be sent out monthly
under the new plan. giving dates and
the character Of the events In order
that full support can be given.

when there came a terrific explo-
sion and sheet of blazing oil was
hurled 200 feet into the air. When
the blazing oil reached its peak It
