alarm fire swept the wooden build
ing where they lived.
The victim, Richard Dorr, died
only five feet from a window in his
parents flaming suite when he was
trapped beneath a cabinet that
topp,ed on him.
HoSpitalized suffering smoke in
halation were his Father George, So,
his mother Mary, 81, and sister,
Mrs. Shirley Houghton, %.
The families Of Richard Melenese
and Of Mrs Elizabeth Kerr escaped
unframed when the $4,000 fire that
started in rubbish on a rear STAIR
way swept through the upper sec
lions Of the building.
The blaze was discovered by young
Dorr who lived with his family In
the top-floor suite. Awakened from
sleep by the crackle Of flames and
heavy, aorid smoke, the youth
pounded on his parents bedroom
door and then raced down through
the building awakening other ten
ants.
After all were aroused, young Dorr
apparently made his way back TO
his own suite in an effort to aid his
family to safety. His body was found
by firemen five feet from a window
through which his unconscious
father, his sister and mother were
carried to safety over ladder.
Firemen arrived to find the llp-
per story enveloped in flames. IN

AS originally written the committee

The Soviet delegation challenged
the phrasing on the grounds that 1t

repatriation. The council eliminate

New York, November 80. - CUP
- The proudest little girl in Brook
lyn today was five-year-old Barbara
Lou Erlichman, who was ''Sworn in"
by the U. S. Coast Guard as Junior
SPAR in a ceremony that had all
the trimmings OF a regular induc-
ton.
1t was a dream come true for the
pretty, flaxen-haired little girl, who
had walked into Coast Guard head
quarters some weeks ago and asked
if she could become SPAR.
She told Lieut.. (jg) Dorothy
Beckwith, district recruiting officer,
that she prayed she would be al
lowed to join the SPARS and had
dreamed she would be accepted. To
prove that she could be Of service,
she went through a drill and re-
cited the pledge of allegiance.
Lieut.. Beckwitn explained that
SPARS must be at least 20 years
Of age, but, she added when she
saw the disconsolate expression on
Barbara Louis face. something
might be done.
Today, little Barbara Lou her
long braids hanging over a smartly
tailored little SPAR uniform, SOL
EMMY repeated this oath:
IT promise to be faithful Junior
SPAR, to go wherever the Coast
Guard sends me, to tell everyone
about the SPARS and to be good
patriotic American at all times"
Then she saluted snapily, solemnly
shook the hands OF all the officers
and SPARS present, and officially
became the Mascot Of the SPAFS IN
the district.
