IFremen Answer
Two False Alarms
Here Last Night

Fire Chief Charles Cremapa to
day promised to crack down on
pranksters who have flooded the
fire department with a series of
false alarms when he said that Of.
tenders would be prosecuted to the
full extent of the law. The latest
in the rash of incidents occurred
last night when firefighters were
routed out twice to answer tele-
phone alarms which proved TO be
false.
The first, which was called In
shortly before HOO p. m. sent
firemen rushing to the warehouse
on Fogarty Avenue at Fifth Street
where no trace of a blaze could
be found. About an hour later. the
firefighters were summoned to the
home of Police Lieutenant Joseph
Cerezo on another false alarm.
The second call was traced TO q
local bar but no sign Of the prank
ster could be found. The first
alarm was given from q pay phone.
The Fire Chief emphasized today
that everytime the fire apparatus
is sent through the city's streets,
the firemen are risking their lives.
Someone may get hurt" Cremata
said. He added that anyone calling
in a fire alarm Is required 10 give
his name and address.

Tag Day Will Be
Final Try In War
Memorial Drive

In a final effort to raise funds
to erect a monument in Bayview
Park to Key Vests war dead of
World Wars / and II and the
Korean conflict, the Gold Star
Mothers are conducting a tag day
today and tomorrow.
''We need at least 81 900 more"
Mrs. Roger Watson Park, chair
man of the committee, said today.
The largest single contribution
to date was the 5000 donation which
came from Arthur Sawyer Post of
the American Legion.
The tags, designed and prepared
by the Gold Star Mothers, have
in large letters, 81 Have Given
to the War Memorial Fund"
Eight high school girls have
volunteered to assist the chapter
members in disposing of the tags.
The workers will sell tags outside
of Wickers Stadium tonight, there
by giving thousands of football
enthusiasts an opportunity to con-
tribute to the cause.
Having reached the decision to
inscribe on the monument the
names of the dead of the three
recent wars, the Chapter COM
mittee has selected the following
words of tribute:
''In memory of our loved ones
who went forth to face death on
land, on the sea and in the sky
that mankind might live in free
dom"
So buy tag. Advertise that you
lfas gisen. Not your life, but of
your earnings so thai the mothers
of our war dead will know that
the story of their sons supreme
sacrifice viii preserve for posteri-
ty.
