tional program.
During the past year Blutfton's eff
ficient fire fighting force has been sup
plemented by three new firemen-
Claud Ream, Wilford Gratz and Ross
Irwin. Fire Chief Guy Corson made
the additional appointments in order
to take care of emergencies in war
time.
Other fremen include: Clarence
Stonehill, secretary; Harley Augs-

One of the principal causes of fires
in homes is defective chimneys. Fiue
inspections are recommended in the
early fall to eliminate danger from
that source.
Care should be taken that furnaces
are not in contact with, or in close
proximity to combustible materials
A clearance of Is inches between the
top of the furnace and the ceiling is
advisable.
Checking electrical wiring and ex-
tension cords also has been suggested
Furnaces and fues shoId be checked
by an expert to make certain there
are no fire hazards from those courses
before heating plants are put into op
Grafton for the winter.

and civilians knuckled down to-
day for the major test which
all believed to be in the offing:

While rain squalls and stiffened

The people of Singapore and

Malay states not occupied or

NEW YORK, Jan. 15-(P)-
Disclosure that an enemy SUBJ
marine had deliberately circled
q Panamanian tanker just off
Long Island, exploding two tor
pedoes in her port side and one
in her starboard was made today
by Navy officials in detailing
the closest approach of actual
warfare to the nations east
coast.
Rear Admiral Edward c.
Kalmfus, commander of the
Newport Naval base, disclosed
that the attack by an unidenti-
fled submarine on the tanker
Norness had resulted in the
death of two men - revising an
earlier Navy estimate. He said
80 officers and men had been
rescued and were in good
shape"
PARTIALLY AFLOAT
The Norness was still partial
1y afloat today - her bow stick
ing almost vertically out of the
water-and Admiral Kalbfus
notified the Navy department
that the vessel constituted a
menace to navigation.
The torpedoing occurred at
1:20 am. (EST) on Wednesday
just so miles southeast of Mon
tauk Point, Long Is]rad, little
more than 100 miles from New
York harbor. N
Navy officers told the story
Of . deliberate, methodist at
tack In which the submarine
first discharged torpedo into
the port side of the fuel-oil lad
en- tanker, swung about and
fired another torpedo into the
other side, and then returned to
send a final "tin fish" into the
port side of the stricken vessel.
Admiral Kalbfus identified
the two dead men as X aare
Reinertsen and Ecil Dremseth,
both apparently Norwegians, as
were most of those rescued.
None was an American citizen.
