The apparatus was not properly fitted with 0 vent to carry of the deadly agent which remained in the room after the oxygen supply, was con- sunied, declared Mir. Walker.
 The inspector said that his oftice continues to investigate these com plaintS against the lack of safe equipment in homes where heating equipment of this type is used.

 For the safety of tho people con- cerned, the inspector urges that ell families using such heating devices check up on 1t at once and if in doubt aS to the effectiveness of It's attachments to notify his oftiee at once.

LOCAL WARDENSl FAVOR CHANGEI
Defense Council Asked to Recommend Adoption of
 New All Clear Signal

Waterbury air raid wardens have recommended that the new second "blue" signal be discarded and used as on audible "All clear" for giid- ance of householders end civilian defense volunteers. Chief Warden James J. Curtin has brought it to the attention of the State Defense Council in Hartford.
 The chief warden explained that while it is his duty to soc that the local civilian defense organization is trained in the use Of the signals as approved by the Army, he admit. ted that results of Monday nights pre.arTanged practice blackout re- suited in Q great deal of confusion and that the suggested changes may be practical. Mir. Curtin con- tlnued that these comments were referred to the state council without comment and for what they are worth.
 The warden pointed out that the confusion over the alarms would be avoided if the second "blue" alert was given to war factories by tele. phone only in place of being an- nounced by Q long blast of the air raid sirens. They also said that es- sential industries get tho code through the civilian defense tele. phone fanout, and do not depend upon the audible system to end the blackout period. Pedestrian and vehicular trafiic learn of the signal when street lights are frightened again, the wardens said, but does nothing else but to arouse the GU. rtosity of householders who must walt for c radio fash to restore home lighting.
 The wardens are convinced that If the signal were to Do set ahead ct serve aS an "all.clear" the pres. ent confusion would be avoided.
