HARRINGTON

w. r. Massey, vice president O.
the Harrington Fire Company, pre-
sided over the regular monthly
meeting of the company held Mon.
day evening. The treasurer reported
a balance of $1043 in their checking
account. A report was also turned in
on the recent entertainment of the
Kent County Firemen's Association
and it disclosed that the affair cost
the local company Sal 30. The fire
recorder reported nine alarms dur
ing the month of February, six OF
which were local calls. An applica-
ton for associate membership was
received from George Wyatt, Sr. and
after the committee named by the
chair reported favorable, he was
elected to membership.
Chief Cain and Chief Engineer
Harrington, committee named to
report on the condition of the siren,
reported the shield badly rusted and
the motor needs new brushes. 1t
was considered lucky that the local
company did not have any calls
during the storm Sunday. Snow and
sleet blew into the siren and then
frOze, making it impossible to oper-
ate the siren. They were continued
as a committee to have the neces-
sary repairs made.
The question of advancing a sum
of money to the United States Fire
Apparatus Company toward the
piece of equipment past due from
that company has brought forth
much comment locally. 1t seems be-
fore the money can be advanced the
board of directors much sanction the
proposition and they have failed to
hold their regular meetings. The
of the board of directors
signed a petition allowing the use of
the money with proper security.
Dave Harrington and Claude Cahall
were added to the fire engine COM
mittee, who went to Wilmington on
to get the contract under
way.
The secretary was instructed to
write Jehu Clifton a letter of thanks /
for his recent donation and also to
write the auxiliary a letter of thanks |
for their services at the recent conn |
Ly meeting.
When the proposition was dis
cussed in regards to leasing the fire |
hall for a dance, it brought forth .
much argument for and against the !
plan. 1t was necessary to get a ris-
ing vote before the issue was decid-
I'd as being favorable and then only
it has the approval of the
own council. Meeting then adjourn
ID. The firemen then assembled to the
'oof and attempted to &c the fire sir

Fire destroyed the abandoned ice
storage house of Joseph H. Walls
on the east shore of Lake Fangan-
zyki, Friday morning. The house
! was located in the woods that Dor
ders the lake and but for the eff
cient work of the Milton firemen
this timber would have been de-
stroyed. Owing to the artificial man
ufacture of ice this storage house
was abandoned several years ago
and has since been open to crap
shooters and love-lorne couples. 1t
is thought the fire was caused by the
careless dropping of a cigarette
butt by trespassers.

rancher who goes to New York to
get enough money to pay off the
mortgage on his lands.
Taking the last of his money, the

rapid succession after he becomes
involved with a theatrical producer.
The rancher buys show which Is

NEW MOVIE TEAM
NOW AT THE CIRCLE

Motion picture producers are ever
on the alert for two young screen
stars that would go we'll as team
because of their ability to enhance
each others screen work. The most
recent movie team to be featured in
pictures consists of Loretta Young
and Norman Foster.
They worked together so well and
we're said to be so convincingly suit
ed to each other in play Girl" that
First National cast them together
again in Lorettas latest picture,
Week End Marriage" which is now
playing at the Circle theater.
The story of weekend Mar
riage," which is based on the novel
by Faith Baldwin, starts with Lola
and Ken, the two lovers, working
for their respective livings in offices.
When Ken is offered a fine position
in South America, Lola's sister helps
her in trucking Ken into proposal
of marriage which, of course, keeps
him from going to South America.
Through a series of quirks, it soon
develops that Lola has the better
position and earns a bigger salary
which does not help the husbands
vanity very much. 1t serves as the
basis for the gradual breaking up
of their marriage and the various
adventures. misadventures, and in
triguing situations which make up
the balance of the plot.
The supporting cast includes Aline
MacMahon, as Lola'S sister. George
Brent, who is fast coming up as one
of Hollywood's best male bets, adds
that touch of adventure as the
other" man.
Others prominently cast are Vivi-
enne Osborne, Sheila Terry, j. Far
rell Macdonald, Louise Carter, and
Richard Tucker.
Selected comedy short films, a
Dessa Byrd program, and a Para
mount sound news reel complete the
entertainment bill.
