Might Have Had Key
The saboteurs went to work after
midnight when the station had
been closed for the night. There
was no sign of forced entrance,
leading police to believe that the
culprits had key to the station.
About $50 keys are distributed
among the members,
Chief Richard Masemore. who set
the loss at $1,000, said the company
had planned to establish a 24-hour
guard duty at the firehouse. The
precaution was advanced one day
when the damaged hose was found
early Sunday morning.
Word of the damage spread rap
idly through the companies of Del
aware and nearby Maryland and
all fire companies have been put
on the alert.
Other Companies Notified
Elkton firemen at once notified
nearby companies including the
Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder Com
pany of Newark, and all companies
in Cecil county of the damage.
Delaware state police warned vol
unteers in this section.
The Singerly Company accepted
an offer of the Newark Company
for loan of hose until the Elkton |
could obtain hose to re-
place that destroyed. The Singerly
Company has a limited reserve sup
ply and has a standing order for
hose.
An investigation is underway by
States Attorney f. d.
E. Rollins, as we'll as Elkton and

Two sections Of one and One-half

Of the Maryland town homeless and

considered an important Burmese
contribution to Britain's war effort
Much tin also normally is recovered
in the neighborhood, and there is a
spectacular Iron hill" nearby. Rub
ber is another valuable material of
the district, the production of which
had represented a growing industry
in recent years.
Peacetime Tavoy had popula-
ton OF more than 27,000 people. AS
the capital of the district of the
same name, it was a court and GUS
toms house headquarters, and Of
fered visitors hotel, and a number
of pagodas and monasteries for
sightseeing. Its wooden houses,
palm and surrounded by
gardens, presented picturesque ap-
pearance.
Besides it's commercial and port
activities, the city normally makes
its living chiefly by silk weaving.
There is some pottery manufacture
and gold and silver metal work. A
number of rice and lumber mills are
found nearby along the banks Of
the Tavoy River, the result of a
plentiful supply of timber and rice
in this hot, moist land.
Tavoy is situated about 30 miles
from the mouth of the river Of the
same name. Low lying for the most
part, it is subject to flood at high
tide.
