SCADDEN REQUESTS LEAVE OF ABSENCE
Member of Engine Co. No. 4 Notified Board of En-
 Iistment Plans

Private Thomas w. Scadden oi Engine 4 today filed a written ap- plication with the board of fire commissioners for leave of absence from the department in connection with his plans to enlist in the armed forces.
 The application is expected to be acted on at this afternoons ses- sion of the fire board.
 Private Scadden is the second member of the department to gc before the board for the purpore of obtaining leave of absence with the intent of entering the service oi the country.
 Private Timothy Dowd of Truck 3 enlisted in the navy and has been granted leave of absence by the board. He is awaiting call to active duty and pending this is continu- ing to serve as a fireman.
 The fire board has asked selec- tive service officials to defer all experienced firemen on the ground that they are vital to the defense of Waterbury from incendiary bombing attacks.
 One fireman was granted six months deferment last May but no favorable action has been taken on the fire board applications in other cases. All applicants for de- ferment of this type were made by the fire board and not by the fire men as individuals. Actually the fire board has attempted to dis courage enlistments by warning that leave of absence will be de- nied men who leave the depart ment to join the service.
