In commenting on the two fire
departments, the rating association
wrote the commissioners:
I'VE feel that because of this
condition there is potential danger
of there being a conflict of authority
when both companies respond to
fire in Bethesda or vicinity. This.
as you well can realize. is detri-
mentai to efficient fire fighting
Consequently, we would like to have
an expression from you as to whom
you have or will designate as being
in charge when both companies
respond
Incidentally. another possibility
that exists because of this condition
is that in some cases the people
in sympathy with the volunteer de-
partment will call them direct in
case of fire, with the result that
the paid department will have no
immediate knowledge of the fire.
1t is important that this condition
be remedied."
Counsel to Study Situation.
The volunteers are not officially
recognized, it was pointed out at
the board meeting, because they

A. F. L. skilled craftsmen's unions
and with committees of A. F. of L.
members although it has not met

I'VE will do the same thing with

Critical War Period Near,
Canadians Are Warned

WINDSOR, Ontario, Feb. g.
Finance Minister James L. IlSley
said today the most critical period
of the war was at hand in warning
Canadians that price rises or ration
ing might result if surplus earnings
and profits were spent for nom
essentials.
1t seems likely that 100000 ad-
ditional workers will be needed for
the war effort, he told the Service
Club in a broadcast. He expressed
doubt as to whether that many
could be obtained without drawing
upon non-essential industries and
occupations, and added:
consequently, either price rises
or rationing are apt to spread as
shortages become more general, un-
less we can persuade people to limit
their expenditures and lend
their money to the nation for war
purposes"
Canadian government eXpendl-
lures are now about S1,700, 100000 a
year. Mr.. Ilsley said, or about twice
the expenditures of the fiscal year
ended last March 81, and require

The vessel brought back 81 race
horses, mostly brood mares and
colts. Two horses we'll known on

worth about $4,000.
