OPPORTUNITIES IN
 ARMY FOR YOUTHS
Choice of Service Per- mitted EnrOllees, Says
 Captain Johnson

Captain J. William Johnson, in- fantry reserve, of Naugatuck, in a brief speech over Station VERY last night, said many advantages are opened to men who enlist in the United States infantry for three years over the selective service train ing of one year.
 The man has the privilege of choosing the branch of service and added: Wide variety of assign ments and stations, including serv- ice within New England, at south ern posts, or on foreign service, are now available"
 Captain Johnson said man must enlist before he receives his selective service call, and many applicants are rejected by the recruiting sta- tionS because they have already been called.
 For others who seek excitement, Captain Johnson stated that men get adventure, action and travel in the infantry. He pointed out the glorious records made by infantry regiments in the United States Army from 1776 down to the last World War, saying that although the soldier still marches and fights on foot, mechanization of the army has geratly decreased the burden of the old-fashioned hikes.

CLUB RECEIVES
 AMERICAN FLAG
Supervisors HOnOred By Stitching Department at
 Impressive Ceremony

Naugatuck, Feb. 28 - In an iln- presSive ceremony conducted under the supervision of the American Legion auxiliary, an American flag was presented to the Supervisors club of the U. s.

There was also some question to- day after the movie-type fire at the pile of tires on Elm street exten- sion yesterday, as to whether water pressure on Ward and Elm streets is sufficient at present. One hose for some time at the fire yesterday was only throwing a thin stream of wa ter. Some firemen claimed this was because the pressure was not suf1- cient to supply the various lines of hose being used each for well over 1000 feet. Two hydrants on Elm street and one on Ward street were used by the local fire department.
 The Chemical Company fire de- partment got strong stream of water when they connected with the company reservoir.
 There has been demand for new equipment for the department for some months, but the fire yesterday seemed to bring home to many res- idents that it is false economy to delay purchasing of the needed equipment.
 Dangerous Possibilities
 Bremen predicted that if the strong wind which blew yesterday south and southwest most of yes- terday had been blowing north to- ward the main pile of rubber, good part of the houses on Ward street and nearby streets, might have been destroyed and the Chemical Com pany plant itself would probably have been menaced.
 The possibilities of serious dam age were so evident in yesterdays $ blaze that it has given many cause for much reflection. At one time during the fire, it looked as though it could not be stopped and that the enormous pile of tires in the lot would catch fire. However, with un- Tagging energy the firemen first

managed to limit the spread and then gradually brought it under control.
 It seems probable that the fire will cause quick steps to be taken to se- cure needed new equipment here. Not that new machines might have prevented the spread of yesterdays fire any more than present equip ment, but because the blaze brought home realization that in using such ancient equipment as the town owns terrific gamble is being taken. Some of the machines have given good service, probably more than could be reasonably expected, many residents here feel, but these people feel that to expect much more usage from some is asking too much.

Lady Luck in the form of wind blowing south was the main req son why the damage from the fire yesterday did not run into many thousands of dollars dam age. All who saw the fire when the wind was at its height agreed that had the wind been blowing north, that is toward the main tires instead of away from them, the entire pile would have been ignited despite all the fire fighters could have done, and if the hun dreds of thousands of tires there had caught fire, there is no telling where the blaze would have stop. ped.
 The heat from the flames was so intense it not only drove spec tatOrs about 50 yards from the fire, but it melted frost in the ground of lot across the street from the main fire.
 The workers of the Naugatuck Chemical Company, out 400 strong, did fine job and served in num- erous capacities. Some cut wires in a fence encircling the lot so that the firemen could turn their hose more effectively on the blaze. Others threw tires from the path of the flames. while some picked up burning tires and heaved them into the puddles in the road nearby. They swarmed all over and undoubtedly worked just as hard as they would have were they in their factory.
 It was made to order for cam era fans. The black smoke poured out of the conflagration in huge clouds and flames intermingled with the smoke to give it an ap- pearance of weird but menacing beauty. Many amateur photOg- raphers took advantage of the op- portunity.
 The smoke was seen as far away as SOuthbury and Danbury and some residents from those sections came here expecting to see much of the town in flames.
 The firemen had difficulty keep ing their footing on the pile of used tires. Leo Carroll was talk ing to fireman and when his companion turned to reply, all he saw were Leo's feet, Carroll hav- ing taken a tumble. Fortunately it was cushiony landing.
 A number of planes circle over head, including three Army planes repOrtedly from Bridgeport and apparently news reel plane, from which an occupant was taking pictures.
 Most Naugatuck residents did not realize until late in the af- ternoon how reports of a disast- rous fire here had spread. The
