 n the school week just closed, the members of the Fire Dept. at- taehed to the once of the fire mar ehal. have visited practically every public and r=ivate school within the confines of the city, in their ef- forts to celebrate Fire Prevention Week in . fitting manner, and by go doing to keep the city in line with similar prevention work being performed by other fire depart n1ents throughout the country.
 Marshal Pleased
 The week has been most SatiS- factory one to this ofnce," declared the lire marshal in an interview to- day. We have visited about all of the schools in the city, and have seen the pupils respond to the fire alarm, and have observed conditions sri and about the premises. Certain ly the principals and teachers have been most kind to us; occasionally we found an cmploye of the build ing staying inside, knowing in ad- vance 1t was fire drill, and, not following the lead of the children, and making a hurried exit. But a ire alarm in any and all buildings is a signal to get out be 1t a test signal or Q call to let the occupants know that real fire Is in progress. There should be no hesitation on the part of any attache to vacate, even if 1t does involve walking up and down a few flights of stairs.
 All Complied
 i've are not saying that this oc- cured in Waterbury. But it has happened in other cities, with the result that when the week was over complaint was filed with the prose- cutting attorney and the offenders brought before that offlcial and the law explained to them in the pres- ence of the members of the office of the fire marshal. The best part of the program in Waterbury was that everybody, except in one or two instances, left the building just as coon as they heard the alarm sound"
