Fire Department Gets
Three Calls Past Week

The Laurel fire department an
swered two fire calls this past week
and received a third which could not
be answered due to regulations pro-
hibiting taking city equipment be-
yond the city limits.
Friday at 7 p. M. the Cabin club
east of the Laurel city limits put in
a call which could not be answered
by the department. The fire was
believed to have been started in
damaged neon tubing over the roof
of the entrance. Several local citi-
zens volunteered their services in
combating the blaze and successfully
extinguished it before a great deal
of damage could be done.
Monday a call was answered to
put out a grass fire at the rear of
618 Third avenue. There was no
damage to buildings as a result of
the blaze.
Tuesday at 1850 p. m. a call was
answered at the w. A. Ziegler resi-
dence, SOP Fourth avenue, where a
short-circuit in the wiring of a
radio set caused damage to the set.

Safety Tests; Record Good

WASHINGTON.-Maj. Gen. Philip
B. Fleming said the federal gov
eminent, with a multi-million-dollar
stake in highway safety, has taken
the lead in a nationwide campaign
to cut down traffic accidents.
The federal works administration
said the war department has re-
examined 100, 900 of its drivers dur
ing the past year and is planning to
extend its safety program to re-
serve officers, ROTC students and
the National Guard.
The navy has established a COM
pulsory standard procedure for test
ing, selecting and licensing its driv-
ers, and the interior and post of
fee departments have improved
safe-driving practices, he added.
Fleming estimated injuries to its
civilian drivers in highway acct
dents cost the federal government

'Pushbuttons' Direct Plane

WILMINGTON, OHIO. - A pilot
less f~our-engine army transport
plane landed at the army air forces
flying center here, completing in
eight hours and 46 minutes a 1000
mile nonstop flight from Long
Beach, Calf, during which no
member of the 10 man crew
touched the huge crafts controls.
Describing the flight as the long
est of its kind on record, army engi-
neers said it was made by a new
"push-button" automatic flight sys-
tenn not to be confused with the
"drone system" or remote con-
trolled flight.
Some human control must be ex-
ercised in the operation of a
"drone" plane, it was explained,
but in the automatic flight system
all the necessary flight data was
fed electrically into a master con-
troll panel within the plane itself.
The planes instruments were
preset to take the plane off the run
way in Long Beach, direct 1t on a
course via Denver and Cincinnati
and set it down here.
The engineers emphasized that
the automatic system was not
planned to replace pilots, but was
developed as part of a program to
beat the hazards Of flying in bad
weather.
The crew was in charge Of Capt.
Thomas ]. Wells of Orlando, Fla,
project and safety pilot, who said
the trip was uneventful.
Improvement of landing tech
nique" is one of the big problems
still to be overcome, Wells said.
