State Insurance Commissioner Guest of Fire Chiefs;
 Tells of Writing First Fire Story in Waterbury

The annual convention of the New England Firemen's assoication, which opened in Hartford Tuesday, and which will close this evening, has proved one of the best of the various gatherings held by the asso- ciation since its organization about IS years ago. Last night at the Ho- tel Bond, the annual banquet was held, and plus the large number of delegates in attendance during the three days, firemen from various parts of Connecticut were on hand to listen to the speakers.
 Local Delegates
 Waterbury, as has been stated, was represented by Captain Wm. G. Rus sell of the fire marshals office, Lieut.. M. J. Flaherty and Private Frank J. Moore. Captain Russell has been a member of the association since It's organization, and has never missed & convention. On this account, no member of the association is better known. For instance, last night at the dinner, he had as his special guests, pr. Harry M. Archer, honor ary deputy chief of the New York fire department, and one of the most interesting fire authorities of the country. Dr. Archer Is president of the International Association of Fire and Police Surgeons. He talked this before the delegates on Smoke and Gas Narcosis-ResuS- citation"
 The dinner was especially inter- esting to the Waterbury delegates, including Fire Marshal Lahey, who was present also as the guest of Captain Russell, because of the ap. pearance at the speakers table of Senator John 0. Blackall, now state insurance commissioner, and Q for. mer Waterbury newspapern1ar.

Waterbury, related the incidents of his boyhood days, when he ran over to the Burton street station to see "the horses come out" and the great "kick" he got from nemorizing the names of the horses attached to the three pieces of fire apparatus housed therein. "-
 we of the North end" he ex- plained, "knew every fireman, and the name of every horse in the sta- ton. The thrill that we got daily from seeing the horses rush out every night at 9 o'clock still fingers with me, aS 1t must with many other boys of my day. After we had seen the hitch, we all had to go to bed; in those days 9 o'clock was the official bed hour for most of the boys of Waterbury. Then the automobile came along, and replaced the horses. Progress must 90 on, of course, but after all, flremen, wasn't fire life Q little more exciting with the horses than 1t has proved with the automobile. Gee, but how the kids of today would enjoy what we used to witness daily in our district fire station"
 Newspaper Days
 The senator also reviewed his newspaper days in Waterbury and Hartford, and the contact between the fire department and the press. Tn his Crosby high school days, as high school reporter, he followed the fire apparatus, in an effort to cover the fire. Before the depart- ment arrived, the burning mattress had been thrown out and the fire extinguiShed. He presented in his story, the last of the man who had performed the duty generally assign ed to the department.
 What's his first narne?" bawled the young city editor. You say his last name Is Smith, and have q hunch."
 T don't know" replied John.
 "Well find out, and do 1t now," he was told.
 John did as instructed and it proved that the man who had really extinguished the fire was until few weeks before Q regular member of the department. He had been dis. missed for negligence at Q fire.
 "Huh," explained the city editor, T thought he was the man. Now we'll prove what lot of 'sapheadS' those commissioners were in dismiss ing such Q good fireman"
 And what 6 story followed by first real attempt to cover Q fire," con- cluded Mir. Blackall.

Raleigh, June 2.-Forest fires. es-
pecially smouldering flames in the
peaty soil, have caused extensive
damage in Eastern North Carolina
during recent weeks, according to re-
ports to the Department of Conserva-
ton and Development
Some of the worst fires have been
icurning for weeks, often below the
surface of the ground, where it has
been almost impossible to check it's
advance, particularly in counties
where there are no organizations
charged with the duty of forest fire
protection.
Fire centers have been in the White
Oak pocosin in Onslow and Jones
counties, in the so-called open lands
of Carteret county, in the vicinity of
Lake Purge in Washington and Hyde
counties.

forester in charge of forest fire con-

generally agreed that Hoey could not
do more than run in third place in
Cumberland.
In New Hanover county the militant
Graham organization, with the veter-
ans as it's nucleus, is credited with
having made a very deep dent in the
Mcdonald following, so that all but
the more enthusiastic Hoey and Nc
Donald leaders are now conceding
New Hanover to Graham. Even the
Hoey headquarters here is privately
conceding that Graham will probably
carry New Hanover On the other
hand, while Columbus county is now
listed for Mcdonald, the belief pre-
walls here in both the Graham and
Hoey ranks that Columbus will pro-
badly give Hoey slight lead over Nc
Donald in the voting Saturday.
Graham is generally conceded to
have more progress in Johnston coun-
ty than in any with the exception of
New Hanover while even the McDon-
aid workers conceded that he is Civ
ing them plenty of trouble there. The
