3 Quick Alarms
Interrupt Long
Fneless Period

Volunteers of the Citizens
Hose Company have had three
alarms in rapid succession af-
ter long period of no calls.
Two of the alarms came in after
midnight on successive nights.
They were called one mile south
of Smyrna, for fire in a truck
load of chickens, owned by Mel
vim Bleckman, Hartly. The fire
was out on arrival. The next
night they responded to an
alarm at l2:l5 am. near Garri-
sons Lake for fire which was
confined to the floor covering of
an auto owned by Donald At
Tx, Kenton. The blaze was
caused by heated muffler.
Damage was estimated at $40.
Forty volunteers answered both
of these alarms. Friday at 6:25
pm, they responded to a call
at the home of Mrs. Jean Young
ken, 430West Commerce Street.
A broken fuel oil line on the
first floor leaked through to the
cellar and ran down on a gas
water heater, setting fire to the
cellar. The fire was confined
to the cellar and damage was
estimated at $50, covered by
insurance. Forty-four men re-
SpOnded to the call.

Limited, has been organized to
manufacture and sell the COM
plete line of Tyler commercial
food refrigeration equipment for
supermarkets, food stores, res
taurants, hotels, hospitals, insti-
tutions, etc. in Canada. The
formation of the new Tyler firm
represents a shift from u. S.

ing and sales operation. Manu-
featuring facilities have already
been acquired through lease OF
a portion of the facilities of the
w. H. Olsen Manufacturing
Company, Limited, of Tilbury.

Student Increase
Top By Smyrna;
Advances Average
Near 100 Yearly

Figures released today show
that pupil growth in the Smyr-
ma Special School District dur
ing the past year was one of
the largest in Kent and Sussex
counties. Expansion was small,
however, in comparison to the
rapid growth in some New Cas-
tie schools. The state figures re-
present growth in teacher units.
These units comprise between
20 and 25 pupils. Smyrna re-
ceived five additional units in
the recent allotment of funds
as result of its growth during
the past year. Milford was
granted A units, Seaford, 2 units;
Laurel, 2 units; Georgetown, 3
units; and Lewes, 2 units. Dow
er received no additional units
as school population decreased
with the opening of new Air
Base housing. The advance for
Caesar Rodney was not shown,
as most of the increase appar-
emily took place in the Air
Base housing sector where the
federal government pays for the
teaching staff. Clayton School
District ll9, showed an increase
of one. Although some New
Castle schools did not show
large gains Townsend, Odessa,
and Middletown recorded no in
creases), others showed ex-
tremely large advances in
growth. Alfred l. Dupont led
the way with an increase of "a

Belber Go. Buys
Wilson Building;
Sill Million Sales
Forecast For 90

Purchase of the original build
ing of Wilson Refrigeration, Inc.
on Main Street was announced
this week by Belber Trunk and
Bag Company, now a division of
Leeds Travelwear Company of
Philadelphia. The company said
it expects an approximate so
per cent increase in production
capacity when the new space is
in operation. The acquisition
consists of a one-story brick
building with $4,000 square feet
of floor space. The original
structure was destroyed in l948
by a Sl,00O,O00 fire. 1t was later
rebuilt and used by Wilson for
office quarters and as a ware
house before the firm moved to
its present location on Glen
wood Avenue. The new Belber
acquisition backs on the COM
pany's original plant, also own
ed at one time by the Wilson
firm. John B. Mcpherson, gener-
al manager of the Belber divi-
sion, said estimates for conver-
sion work on the old Wilson
building won't be ready for at
least a week, but that the oper-
alton should be ready for pro-
duction early next year. Nc
Pherson said the Smyrna plant
currently employs ITO persons,
mostly women. More workers
will be taken on gradually as
the sales department calls for
output. Jack Brier, president of
the Leeds Company and former
president of Belber, was quoted
in the Wall Street Journal as
saying the increased capacity
will be able to push output to a
potential $ll,OO0,Q00, compared
to the past years sales of more
than $7,O00,000. Sales in 1883
were up 24.8 per cent over 1858
The Belber firm is about &c
years old. 1t moved here in l94e
from Woodbury., N. ]. to con
tinue production of a large line
of hand luggage and Other
items. James Vessel is plant
manager.

21 Legal Age
 For M arriage

Despite the new "age of majori- ty'' law passed by the 1859 Alaska Legislature, male applicant for marriage license under q years of age still must have the consent of his parents. The language of the Act setting 19 as the age of majori- ty is followed by the phrase 'ex- cept as otherwise provided by sta tute," and the marriage statute does otherwise provide. It speci- fies that 21 is the legal age of majority for male applican.s for a marriage license.
 The Bureau of Vital Statistics consulted the Alaska attorney gen. erals office on the subject and received the ruling that the new age of majority law does not affect the age set in the marriage law, according to Dr. Harry w. Gibson, director of the Alaska Division of Health.

Fairfax Council
To Act on Budget

The Town Council of Fairfax
will convene Wednesday to
adopt a $425,OOO city budget
which will require. no tax in
crease.
Town Manager Glenn Saun-
derS said yesterday that the
proposed budget, which calls
for an outlay of about ST. 900
more than was spent last year,
apparently has incurred little
public opposition.
He reported that after a pub
lie hearing Wednesday the
council decided to allot $4,000
to the volunteer fire depart
ment and 81 900 for recreation.
The ALLEGATION for the fire
department had been cut from
a requested $4,000 to $1,000, he
said.
Earlier Mr.. Saunders had
suggested that a 10-cent tax in
crease might be necessary if
the council wished to restore
fully all of the reductions made
in the budget requests of vari-
Gus city departments.
However, he reported that
the budget as now proposed
will necessitate no rise in the
real estate tax, which is As
cents per 500 valuation.
The fiscal year for the town
of Fairfax begins September /.
