u in clubhouse and meeting hall, over desk top
and cracker barrel, Americans are talking about
their future and the future of their country.

Board Of Trade Seeks
Trucks 10 Supplement
War Fire Equipment
II Firms Agree to Lend
16 Vehicles for Use
In Any Emergency

Hopeful OF supplying the Fire
Department with enough trucks to
mount skid pumps and trailer pumps
for use in any war emergency, the
Washington Board of Trade is con-
Quoting a survey OF business firms
in an effort to borrow vehicles for
the duration.
Harry j. Miller, chairman of the
committee, today reported II firms
already had pledged the use OF 18
trucks, but many more are needed
to fill the department requirements.
Forty-six skid pumps and So trailer
pumps have been allocated to the
city.
Fire Chief Stephen T. Porter said
81 volunteer stations have been set
up throughout the city in strate-
gical areas where the trucks will be
housed. They will be manned and
operated by volunteer crews trained
by the department..
Il hope the people will come
across with the trucks" said Chief
Porter. "It will help us give them
better protection"
Complete details OF the plan have
not been worked out, the chief said.
Repair and upkeep of the vehicles is
one item to be arranged. Chief
Porter pointed out that no money
for such work is in the department
budget, and that funds for it prob
ably would have to be drawn from
the "blackout" treasury He antici-
pated no trouble on this score.
Clearance Arata, executive secre-
tary of the board. pointed out that
many firms would prefer to have
trucks immobilized for the duration
put to this use to guard against
deterioration. Some, 1t was sug-
gested, might be able to lend We
hicles for a peroid of months after
passing the peak Of seasonal
business.

tributed trucks include American
