FIRE DRILL IS
 HELD BY LOCAL DOCK COMPANY

The Lomen Commercial Co. held practice fire drill yester- day afternoon at two-thirty, be- fore crowd of Nome citizens, including the fire chief of the city.
 The drill included turning in of an alarm, starting the pump ing unit, connecting the hose and manning the various positions at the fire.
 During fire in the area cov- cred by the Lomen unit, employ ees of the Lomen Commercial Company will become members of the company fire department, having been previously assigned to particular job.
 The demonstration proved very satisfactory, and the pump ing unit operated well, giving more water than could possibly be necessary on any particular fire.
 The only additional equipment suggested at present would be Siamese attachment for twin hoses.
 Persons in the neighborhood should acquaint themselves with the location of the alarm, and the method of turning it in, in addi- tion to the regular alarm box which is across from the Lomen company office.
 According to Jack Anderson superintendent of the company, the unit has enough standard firehose to reach approximately two blocks in any direction.s

HUNTERS ARE RESCUED BY
 NOME PILOTS

Yesterday Pilot Lloyd Peter son of Wien Alaska Airlines and Bill Munz of Munz Air Service, both of Nome, flew north yester- day in search of two wolf hunt CTS, whose plane was down somewhere in the Teller district.
 Dan Kline and his pilot, Ray Knott, left Teller Monday with three hours gas supply and did not return. Mrs. Tom Peterson of Teller relayed the information to Nome, whereupon the two planes took off for the area in search for the men.
 Pilot Peterson was alone, but Pilot Munz carried an observer, Pilot Dr. Kennedy, the flying dentist of Nome.
 After about two hours search, the little blue Piper Cub was spotted by Kennedy, about 25 miles west of Teller, and the two men were seen hoofing it down the beach toward Teller.
 The two men were picked up, much the worse for wear and rather cold and hungry.
 They had landed their plane to pick up a wolf, which they had killed, and left the plane for about an hour and half, and then, on their return, could not start it.
 Spending the night in the plane, they started the following morning for Teller.
 The wolf hunters said they had nine pelts of wolves they had killed and one other killed and two wounded.

One Of the curiosities of ex-
press shipments in wartime il
the successful transportation of
honey bees, which are accepted
for trips lasting six days. A spec
ial technique for handling bees
has been developed, including
spraying them in hot weather,
which assures their safety in
transit. The migrations of honey
bees help balance the sugar
shortage, according to Railway
Express, besides making II pos
sible to spread pollen in fruit

Play Reduces
Delinquency
Trouble In Toledo
is Greatly Reduced

CHICAGO UP An about
campaign on the Recreational
Front has greatly reduced the
delinquency rate of Toledo, O.,
during 1914, according to the
American Municipal Assn.
The great decline in delin-
quency rates has occurred dur
ing the summer months. Only 80
cases of juvenile delinquency
were adjusted by the municipal
crime prevention bureau in July,
1914, as compared to l72 during
the same period of 1913.
Credit for the Improvement in
conditions may be given to the
city recre atio n department,
which aided by inquiries to CO.
operating citizens, decided that
what Toledo youth needed was
more planned play during the
summer months, which usually
had less planned activity than
any other time of the year.
Lack of trained leaders was
responsible for thee comparative
failure of the l943 program, dur
ing which the doubtful practise
of charge of play areas was fol-
lowed. This year good pay has
attracted competent personnel
and produced results which city
officials say are gratifying. Fur
thermore, two more play areas
and many tennis courts have
been established as an impor-
tant increase in the physical IA
cilities for recreation.
City officials have recon-
mended that Toledo expand this
preventive program for juvenile
delinquency and provide still
more funds for this purpose.

A Thought for Today


Those who travel the road these days
we refer to the railroad-are worrying
once more about the limited service in
and out of Waterbury. They are vexed
by such lacks as too few trains, too few
through trains, and so on and so forth.
1t was ever thus in this particular valley
town. Here we are, a leading city Of
industry, in the East, if not in the coun-
try, yet we have never had what you
would call real first class train service.
Naturally these are uncommon times
and the service is bad on our best railroad
lines. Trains have to suffer a setback
in schedules, and because Of the excessive
travel by the armed forces and civilians
cars are gradually taking on much used
appearance. AS matter Of fact they are
deteriOrating fast, and no new ones are
icing manufactured. That is all under
stood and obvious.
But to get back to the service in and
out of our own city. To get places ex-
peditely it is necessary to get onself to
New Haven or Bridgeport to negotiate
satisfactory train and connection. From
Waterbury there's not much doing You
can drive yourself places more quickly
in your own automobile. That is why
railroad travel was so reduced some years
back. Now people are forced to travel
by railroad again. They feel that it is
rather difficult to do so with accommo-
dationS so poor. For the most part they
are pretty agreeable about the whole
thing because what can the railroads
do about it right now? Not thing
Nonetheless, the city still entertains
that hope of one day having first class
accommodations out of Waterbury, espe-
cially on the comparatively short Water
bury-New York run.

Musical Equipment Drive

Most people are cooperative in the sal
wage drives, as was stated previously in
these columns. If you are kept busy
ransacking cellar and attic just forget
about the trouble and inconvenience and
think about the unpleasant things the
boys in service have to do. Along with
paper, tin cans and grease another i'm
portant salvaging at the moment is
musical equipment. '"
This week the school children have
been collecting instruments, records,
music and so on which the Mattatuck
Musical Art Society's War Service COM
mittee has been handling.
This group has been doing a good work
in the collecting of musical equipment,
and at every meeting some donations
are realized Already much of what has
been collected has been sent overseas
So it might not be bad idea to open
up some little used closet and your old
mandolin, like Fibber McGee's,or banjo
Oh piccolo may come to light.

AS A MATTER OF FACT

Eamonn DeValera Fires prime min
lister, has urged in his country an added
effort in raising more produce in the
months to come. Anyone having bit
Of land Is asked to plant potatoes on 1t,
and he has also recommended the curing
of more bog peat for heating purposes.
A few Of the chief staples of food raised
in Ireland easily furnish what is
known as plain fare, namely, potatoes,
poultry, and cattle. There has not been,
In long time "a lack in that country Of
mutton, bacon, and beef, chicken, eggs,
potatoes and some root vegetables. Tea
and coffee have to come from away, also
some of the fruit luXurieS. There Is some
fruit growing, but not to any great extent.
Irish cheeses are excellent. Irish
farmers in the north send much of their
produce to England, so this country, too,
might suffer If communications and in
terchange of produce were cut off,
