Electrical Inspector
 Averts Serious Blaze
Defective Switch Blamed for FIare-up in Basemsni
 of Camp Building Early Morning Alarm Sounded

But for the presence of mind of Electrical Inspector Martin O'Rourke, fire which broke. out this morning in the base ment of the F. W. Wool worth store, 37 East Main street would have destroyed an enormous amount of stock stored in the eel lar of the building. Prompt action by MT. O'Rourke in abusing the flames with sand eliminated the danger of serious conf1agration. The alarm was received at fire headquarters at 9:35 a. m, by tele- phone when one of the workers mo- ticed smoke in one section of the basement.
 The switch had been reported as defective the night before and this morning when Electrical Inspector MT ORourke with representatives of the Connecticut Light and Power Company went down into the base ment to investigate, they found defect in an oil reservoir located near the switch and removed the bottom part.
 As they did so, there was a flash which ignited the oil and brought about the fire that nearly enveloped the men, in the steel enclosure of the portion of the cellar.
 As themen ran out MT. O'Rourke scooped up sand with which he doused the flames before the stored cartons became ignited. The men in the meantime had swallowed great deal of smoke.
 The f1remen were under the SUD- ervision of Chief Thomas F. Cava- naugh and Deputy Chief Martin J. Campion. The fire was investigated by Fire Marshal Lahey and Private Jerry Griffin. Damage was slight,

WANT FIRE ALARMS

THREE RIVERS, Mich, June 4. The City Club of Three Rivers wants the local fire whistle to sound twice-once when the fire starts and then later on when it's out. Too many citizens, they claim, do lot of needless worrying after the initial alarm.
 They always used to toot the whistle at least once and sometimes they'd give it a couple of toots-to show the blaze was extinguished, and there was no further need for worry" explained L. s. Dooley, merchant.
 Now you go along for hours after the alarm is sounded, figur- ing that the town may be burn ing down"
