School False Alarms Heat
Firemen TO Boiling Point

If the men in East Cleve.
lands Number Two Fire House
on Shaw ave-, are somewhat
edgy and sleepless during the
wee hours of the morning these
days, it is not without due
cause.
For the past few weeks. they
have been awakened around
two, three or four a. m, as the
alarm in front of Chambers
School sounds the alert.
Yet when the call from this
box is answered there is nary
the sign of flame or smoke and
the only heat that is generated
lis that caused by the anger of
the firemen who have answered
another false alarm.
At each response to the
alarm, which is believed to be
triggered off inside the school
an exhausting search is made of
the premises in an attempt to
discover what's wrong.
The possibility that some ras-
Gals have been entering the
building and setting off the

expressed concern on how the
neighbors would take to eve
ming and early morning work
in the area.
Further. since there was no
criterion or experience in how
a small assembly plant cper-
ates. Apthorp wished the re
striction for the time being.
The firm now will have TO
come back to the Zoning Board
before expanding.
Braun stated his business
hopes to do between 100000
and 100000 per year at the To-
cation. This will entail, he said,
putting out between $4,000 and
$4,000 assembled filters q
month.
The firm expects to begin
operations by September.

AS the Sergeant explained
the various types of education

that enlistment stations should

For example, the Army As

with seventy-five per cent of
