FIRE DEPT. MAY
 HAVE VACANCIES
(continued from Page D


 The fact that the question is sched- uled for discussion at tomorrow's special meeting indicates that there is strong sentiment in favor of the move. Local factories are in dire need of skilled men.
 Chairman Phelan said also that about half dozen officers and men -"some of our most capable men" he said, have spoken to him about obtaining leave of absence for the purpose of enlisting in the services
 Lieut.. Francis Scully, brother of Mayor Vincent A. Scully, was one of the first to apply for enlistment in the Navy.
 Chairman Phelan said that the requests for leave of absence to en- ter the service have not been brought to the attention of the board yet, but. the subject will be discussed in its entirely tomorrow. Special Call Force The fire board head hinted that the only way in which number oi temporary vacancies in the depart ment could be filled would be through the organization of spe- cial call force. This force would be composed of mem appointed tenn porarily to fill the places left by the absent regulars.
 A reliable source hinted that should aHcall force be organized the men employed would be reasonably certain of appointment to regular positions as vacancies develop.
 In addition to the several regulars who have discussed the question oi leave of absence for the purpose ot enlisting, 1t is reported that about six others are in line for induction into the Army within the next few months.
 Tn view of the acEion taken by draft b aodsinrefusin gr -tetaoinsE draft boards in refusing to defer local and state policemen on the ground that they are irreplaceable 1t is not regarded as likely that deferments will be sought by the board for firemen.
 Chairman Phelan indicated that no action would be taken tomorrow to fill two vacancies in the depart | ment.

 The flag will be known as war worker flag. There will be an area of daytime silence around any home displaying such a flag in the future, thus assuring the night workers of sleep.
 Every effort" said the mayor should be made to minimize noises of all kinds"
