Double Platoon
Plan Urged For

A two-pIatoon system for the FL
Centre Fire Department is under
discussion throughout the city.
Advocates of the installation of
such a system believe that the plan
would afford the city more secure
protection against flames and at the
same time increase the efficiency of
the force now employed by relieving
the men of the monotony of IA
straight hours on duty each week.
According to information avail
able the two-platoon system could
be perfected with the addition of
only one more man on the depart
ment staff or the retention in serv-
ice of the extra man now on duty
in connection with the special scrv-
ice being given on the east side.

fifteenth century when timepieces were
rare and the people depended upon the
town clock for the time of day or

others by adding more and better bells,
until brief melodies could be played.
Then came the keyboard and pedal

the playing of which has become an
art. The Netherlands and Belgium. in
