1926, started playing together and
have been at it ever since. And the
Army won't split the team. Take
their word for that.

Fire Alarm in Tukomu Causes
Hundreds to Look for Air Ruid

the alarm was given many times
without pauses between each five
blasts-in order to wake a sufficient
number of volunteers to fight the
blaze. He said when he took over
as fire chief a week from today he
would have new signals installed to
sound regular fire alarms.
Robert E. Brault, executive direc-
tor of the Montgomery County Civil
ian Defense Council, said he had
received q number Of complaints
from people who feared the alarm
was for an air raid. He was unable
to explain the sound Of the planes.
This situation will be corrected,
he said, when the new air raid
sirens ordered by the county are
installed within the next two or
three weeks.
John Oden, chief of fire service
for the Defense Council, said he was
trying to standardize the fire alarms
used throughout the country and
contended they should be much
shorter than the signals for air
raids.

out foundation, Acting States Attor-
ney A. Gwynn Bowie for Prince

ment, asserted that an investigation
