Blame Patient
For Blaze at
Chestnut Lodge

Fire Marshall Charles H.
HoWe's investigation of the
two recent Chestnut Lodge
fires has fixed the blame for
one and asked for assistance
in determining the cause of the
second.
"The closet fire on Saturday
night, July 2, was definitely
set by a patient" asserts Mr..
Howe. Quick action by the
Rockville, Gaithersburg, and
Kensington fire departments
kept damage low.
The Marshall has been I'M
able to determine the cause of
the UNDERTOOK fire at Hilltop,
Sunday, July 10, though he
states, 1T was not set by a
patient and it was not an cleo
trical fire" Specializing that
an aluminum-and-tar vapor
seal tackled under the floor
may have ignited spontaneous
ly, Marshall Howe has sent
samples of the insulation to the
Underwriters Laboratory in
Chicago for further study.

Air Coolers
Increase Fire
Peril in Area

A cool summer may mean a
hot winter g. a very, very hot
winter warns Montgomery
County Fire Marshall Charles
II. Howe. Overloaded wires
carrying current for home air
conditioners might catch fire
six or eight months from now"
The county electrical code
demands a separate circuit for
home cooling units. However,
explains the Marshall, many
people are plugging their con-
ditionerS into the regular cleo
trical system.
when the normal Is ampere
fuses burn out, they replace
them with large 80 ampere
fuses. This allows a high, UNI
safe amount of current to pass
through the wires. The wires
get hot and soon the insulation
meltS."
So far there have been no
fires in the county resulting
from overloaded wiring due to
a home air conditioner. How
ever, Mr.. Howe predicts, Dur
ing the Winter when those con-
ditioners are not being used,
the insulation will crack off,
leaving the bare wires exposed.
Then you're going to have
fires"

Its Fascinating Work
Why does a man want to be
a dog catcher?

Why does a man want to b.
a dog catcher?
Because he loves dogs.
AT least that's why Clarence
Levesque, 35-year-old ex-Marine
who became Montgomery Coun
tvs newest dog catcher two
months ago, took the job.
Mr.. LeveSque says he finds il
a challenge to win over dogs

cinating," he says. The object
is to gain the dogs confidence
by being kind to him, and then
get him into the truck for the
trip to the animal shelter.
Mr.. Levesque's truck has a
big net hooked on the side, but
he almost never uses it. If the
dog catcher is mean to a dog,
that dog may distrust humans
ever after, so that he can't be
adopted as a pet.
There's no such thing as a
naturally mean dog" Mr.. Leves-
que says. every dog that's
mean is made that way by cruel
treatment"
Mr.. Levesque, who says he
has always enjoyed working
with animals, has never been
bitten or scratched. Growing up
in Maine, he says, he made
friends with many forest
animals.
Someday, Mr.. Levesque hopes
to become a big game hunter.
Right now, he contents himself
