ENRoLLMENTs SOUGHT

EnrollmentS for the fire watch
ers corps are being taken al Area
81 Headquarters. room AHA Penob-
scot Building. between the hours
OF 10 a. m. and 4 p. m. week days.
Enrolment now is being taken for
the future classes. Women living
in downtown apartments and
hotels are wanted for night duty.
The area in which the watchers
will function in conjunction with
the air raid wardens is that
bounded by Vernon highway and
the river, Hastings street and
Fourth avenues. There are six
watching posts now on as many
buildings and others will be added
as fast as squads are available
The fire watchers must know
their buildings from roof TO base
ment, every stairway, fire escape
and piece Of fire equipment and
where each telephone is located.
WHOLE BUILDING COVERED
A deputy and messenger are sta
toned on the roof during air raids
with other members of the squad
scattered - in chain system
throughout the building. When a
fire is sighted the deputy sends a
messenger to the nearest post
watcher who relays it 10 the next
one and so on down TO the first
floor TO the senior post fire watcher
in the Air Raid Warden's Post
from where il is sent 10 the con-
troll center.
II is the duty Of watchers TO
scan all buildings in the neighbor-
hood and a knowledge of the
names of streets and buildings is
essential. Other duties performed
by the watchers are in connection
with sabotage, planes, high explo-
sive and incendiary bombs.
London's experience in the big
conflagration of 1910 is an exam
pie of the necessity for organized
fire detection forces. Had London
been thus equipped at the time the
confiagration caused by many
small incendiary bombs might
have been prevented. 1t now is

NEW YORK, March 23.-Vincent
Bendix, announcing in q prepared
statement today his resignation
from all oficial connection with
the Bendix Aviation Corp, said he
would hereafter devote himself to
the field of development"
The 6l-year-old inventor and in

except to say his departure was
very friendly"
His statement today was followed

Bendix's resignation had been ac-
cepted with deep regrets"
Breech, former vice president of
General Motors, one of the largest

Chicago Grain

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, March 23.-Heavy sell
ing broke out again in the grain
market today, after Saturdays
pause, and prices skidded to the
lowest general level of the year.
Wheat was the lowest since early
December, l94l.
Soybeans were weakest, losing
more than cents a bushel at one
stage. Rye and wheat tumbled al
most 2 cents before the market
steadied and then rallied moder-
ately.
Stop loss liquidation caused the
break, traders said, but there was no
agreement among brokers as to the
reason for this selling inasmuch as
there we're no trade developments
upon which it could be blamed.
Many thought the markets reac-
ton was merely continuation OF
the weakness which became appar-
ent last week and which some au-
thorities blamed on tagging demand
Of consuming interests. Some
thought the possibility of in
creased spring military activity was
q factor while likelihood of a scar
city of storage space, the favorable
winter wheat prospect and post
ponement of consideration of legis-
lation to restrict Government sales
of grain also were noted.
