also Harry Shagrin, newly elected

represented in the county associa-
ton had delegates to the meeting.
Hartly and Clayton delegates were
not present and the Carlisle Fire

President Croes spoke of the val

skeleton companies to be held for
duty. Vice President Pettyjohn of
Dover spoke at length on the subject
Of couplings, so that firemen could
aid each other in the county. Dover
provided themselves with a coupling
and then discovered it wouldn't fit
the Harrington fire hydrants. 1t
seems that they have peculiar
thread. In fact it was said that only
two of the kind are found in the
United States. st. Louis, Mo-, has
the other and they are too far away
to render aid. The discussion led to
the point that President Haddaway
named an efficiency committee to
WORK. iout the problem. The commit

Chief Harry Hancock of Dover and
Chief George Cain of Harrington.
