Clyde Galbreath parked his truck in the alley back of the Mems Store and went into the bank to attend to some business Wednesday and when he came out of the bank he saw his truck go whizzing by at breakneck speed, driven by Bill Lewis.
 Bill had seen smoke coming from the garbage on the truck and rushed over and found 1t was afre. Some buckets of water were thrown on it but 1t had begun blazing so Bill drove it hastily around to the front of the Victory cafe along side of which there is a small hose, and there the fire was finally extin- guished. It is not known what started it. Damage to the gar bage was slight.

Boy, 14 1Confesses To Starting Four Fires; MoroUding' Of 10 Homes Also Admitted


 series of fires was solved Friday morning when authorities took a fourteen-year-old boy into custo- dy. After questioning, the youth, told how he had set the fires un- der four local business houses during the past two weeks, No reason was given by the boy for starting the fires except that he just couldn't help it".
 The case started to break right after the fire under Kraft's store Sunday afternoon when Deputy Marshal Paul Herring found 8. letter which had bean mailed in Illinois during the first part of May, and which had apparently been used to start the fire. This letter later proved to have been stolen from it's box in the post office,
 After the fire under the From tier Book and Gift shop Thurs day evening two other letters were found by Jack Altman, Fire land Police Chief. An inyestiga- tion by Messers. Altman and i Herring disclosed that the letters had never been seen before by the person they were addressed to, although he stated that he shared the box with another fam l fly. Tn other family was then interviewed and gave the in formation that although they had not gotten the mail that they thought another boy in the community had the combination to the box. This boy was picked up by Chief Altman yesterday l morning and taken to the Mar shal's office where he was ques- tioned and finally admitted his guilt.
 No action has been taken as vet pending the arrival of Judge Simon Hellenthal, who IS due in Kodiak from Anchorage this aft ernoon. The boy has been re- leased into the custody of his parents at the order of U. .. Commissioner c. c, Naughton. According to authorities the boy gave the following account of his activities:
 "On or about the 9th of May I went under the back end of the Coney Island restaurant and put some papers up on the top of a stringer and set them on fire with a match" ;"
 He started up the street, he said, and met another boy and 'I told him 1 saw some smoke, and then we went down to the fire and watched them put it out. It was under the Coney Hand. Saturday night I went down to the post office and took let ter addressed to Eddie Wilhelmy (employe at the base). 1 stole l (conGinued on page 4

Multiple Tenants
Seen in Factories

Announcement of a new plan
to make some OF the sixteen bill
lion dollars worth of government
owned war plants available to
small business after the war, was
made Saturday from the Detroit
District Office Of the Smaller War
Plants Corporation, in issuing a
report on a multiple industrial
tenancy plan prepared by SWPC's
Office of Reconversion.
The report, based on a survey
OF 80 plants of various types and
sizes located in various parts Of
the country, concludes that many
war plants can become commun-
ity manufacturing centers locally
owned. financed and managed. At
the same time multiple use will
enable the government to realize
a fair price on it's investment in
many of the 1889 war plants
There are tremendous possibil-
tiles in this plan for the small
business men and for the commun-
ity at large" 1T is an opportun-
ity for local capital and local en-
terprise to develop new business. 1t
may also be one way in which we
can help returning veterans estab-
lish a small business of their own,
on a limited capital investment
