added that $31, 900 of the $4,000
needed had been subscribed. He said
a fire board had been selected in each
area. Mr.. Bride reported that section
of Chevy Chase did not desire to

department, which will have its head
quarters in Bethesda, but planned to
have separate department in Chevy

By a sudden flood a fox, two hares
and seven rabbits were marooned, so
the story runs, on a little island In

though there was scarcely room for
the ten animals to turn around, the
fox made no attempt to kill and eat
rabbit or hare. For three days and
nights the animals kept their truce.
