KOPEYILLE CLUB
 MEETING TONIGHT
S1,O0O Defense Bond to Be Formally Presented;
 Educational Film

The February monthly meeting of the Hopeville Community Club will be held this evening at D. m., at the South Federated Parish hall on Baldwin street.
 The club having voted to purchase a $1,000 Defense Bond, will be pre- sented with same at tonights meet ing.
 The showing of the film Rail roadin', will be the feature attract tion. This production shows many scenes from the colorful history of the railroading industry. From the early opposition of many, through the roles of the railroads in, pioneer ing the great West, to the present fast, luxurious trains of today, the whole story is vividly depicted Shown also in the movie are the crack streamliners of nearly every major railroad line in the country We see them speeding through our western deserts, over the snow cov- cred mountain passes, into our great metropolises and through the WdFlIIS Sldlll lltltto O1 Illt MlQWcSI.
 Directed by John Roland, and made by Adverti- Films, Hollywood, in cooperation with American Rail- roads, "Railroadin" took year to produce and will be ranked among the most important railroad motion pictures ever made. All historical in formation is acurate, and is authen- tically portrayed.
 The film is most educational, and everyone, both young and old is in vited to attend the Club meeting on Tuesday, to see the film.
 All committee members are urged to attend, and bring up to date re- ports.

Freezing Round New York
 Where to Go and What to See Where Eat and What Do

to increase the protective measures of people at work in the event of an air raid alarm. Since that time doz- ems of sensible men have con- mented on the practical method of the program and it's inexpensive op- eration. A go-ahead signal would enable it to be put in use almost immediately The basic idea simply being remote control alarms by tel egraph machines, one to a building and relay system that would take care of every person in that build ing, either by use of public address system, blinking of lights through the building light switch, pneumatic tubes, teleautograph pencils, etc.
 We are now six weeks past he original suggestions. They are still being considered by the powers that be, footballed from ore official to another, while the afraid alarm system of New York seems to grow more confused by the minute.
 The plan is practical only if har- monized by some one that will op- crate it as coordinator so that no one utility company will reap con- mercial benefits at the expense of another. That means city officials must approve it's technique of man. agement.
 see no reason however, why bus mess firms could not invite the workings of the plan which seems feasible at their own expenses, if Western Union, New York Tele- phone O., and Postal Telegraph would and could handle it on that basis. Others involved would not be restricted know. from conversa- tions with most people that might be involved, they all agree that with proper sanction they would cooper ate but they do not want to do any thing in conflict with established authorities plan of action.
 While waiting for action of some kind to spread air raid alarms there seems no good reason why factories and work places handling war con- tracts should not be placed under proper watchful eyes and powerful pi iOlCColOll o.--Al NtOOlo, WIIuOWS ; and power rooms seem Woefully ex- posed to intruGers.
 Ill fireproof buildings however ! where people are instructed to go from floor to floor, the opposite is the case. Instructions for air raiC alarms are that occupants go ur from the first to the fifth floors and down from higher floors towarc the center of the building; The ele- vators are not to run during sucE emergencies. That means take tt the stairs. have noticed in some buildings that you can go out to g stairway but if the doors on the other floors are not actually helt open from the inside, the persons using the atairWays are marooned because the doors are automatically locked and cannot be opened from the outside To make matters worse they do not have adjustable lock! to change this condition. I have I have heard that some building! will not change the doors because they are heavy fire-doors and tht cost would be prohibitive. Ther, huge metal doors make it impossi
 ble to install locks. This means au
 thorized officials must orde changes made for public protection wherever needed.

PARKING ALLOWED
 FOR PARISH0NERS
Board of Aldermen Ap= proves Ludlow Street
 Site; Change Rejected

St. Margaret's Church corporation was given permission by the board of aldermen last night to use it's school grounds as a parking lot for parlshlonerS on a commercial basis.
 The church applied for such per- mission when the police board ban against aIl-night parking went into effect Feb. l. Parishioners without garages are allowed to use the parish grounds free each night.
 By an 8-7 vote strictly on party lines, the board rejected the appli- cation of Mrs. Sarah Larson for zoning change that would transfer her property on Randolph avenue from residential to business zone.
 Three members of the zoning committee, Aldermen Martin Sulli- van, John Kopcha and Edward Lasky, all Democrats, recommended rejection of the petition. A minor ity report, submitted by Republican Aldermen George Kingston and Wllildill hOlDtCk, TcCOLIlIllcllucu dp- proval of the application. The minority report was rejected and the majority report accepted. A petition signed by a number of neighbors, opposing the change, was cited by the majority.
 Appearing for James Stack, ex- Mayor Francis P. Guilfoile, urged the abatement of approximately $2,- 800 in taxes on property on Camp terrace. He said that MT. Stack is disabled and that the taxes had been incurred before he took over the property. The matter was re- ferred to the abatement committee.
 The following bids for city owned property was received: Howard An drews of Savings street, $l65 for property at 174 Bishop street; Amel- lie DeBellis of Pearl street, SITS for property at ITS Bishop street; James Rocco of Neville street, $700 for two lots on Washington street
