 Blocked Fire Department
 Ignacy Czyz of Thomaston was fined $25 and costs this morning at the police court session by Judge Joseph M. Donovan. He was accus- ed of violation of the fire apparatus ordinance on September 20. He was accused of blocking the appartus of Hose Company No. 1 on the Memo- rial boulevard, when that company was on the way to fire in East Bristol. Captain Morgan Farrell of the company testified that the fire engine whistle was blown continu- oGsly down the street but that the driver of the offending motor vehicle paid no attention.
 fVhiaf 1f department told the court that the ordinance of giving the fire engines the right of way was being almost universally ignored and in the last few weeks had resulted in several close calls. He feared that col lision might result disastrously for property owners and for the motor car drivers as well.
 In passing sentence, Judge Dono- van told Czyz that he was undecided whether he had considered it joke to race the fire engine or whether he was unfit to drive 8 machine as he offered in defense that he was hard of hearing.

 Associate Praises Principal
 An expression of appreciation was presented today by an associate of Miss Mary Callen, dead principal of the East Bristol school, as follows: "To some of the teaching profess sion it is given to end their teaching carSer up to the last while still at labor, to others it is given that they may retire from their labors and continue to enjoy with serenity the rest which their labors have so we'll merited-and to others, comes that rest from all labors very soon after the close of their school activities. It was into this latter group that Miss Mary A. Callen has passed. The loss to the community in which she lived and to the Fifth School district is indeed great-for ripcned with years and years of rich ex- perience, Miss Callen's wise counsels would have indeed meant much to the growing district.
 "One could not speak of the East Bristol school without thinking of Miss Callen. For A years the girls and boys, teachers and residents of this district all felt tho spirit of her firm and guiding hand, a spirit that was always guided with temperate justice, which though requiring and e&aeting, was always just and fair. Miss Callen always appreciated that discipline and order were essentials upon which to build education. Without them, interest in advance ment and fearing were handicapped.
