Scores for individual match tallies ambled all the way from 301 to a high of 542 which last, incidentally was chalked by a lady, Mrs. Faulkner. | Second match showed more inter- esting ball as the Editors and the Dentists battled it out on more or less even terms. The fourth estate quintet: started out like winners but soon/folded to give the windup c tests to the molar specialists deci- sive margins. High single game went to F. Henn- ing who counted a 537 for the match. Two other bowlers chinned them- selves above the 500 mark, Hagerup and Holm.

Fire Chief's Report “On February 6 at 5:25 a.m. an alarm was sounded for a small chimney fire at the Kibby resi- | dence.

I was | in Juneau at 6:45 a.m. and Fire Chief Mulvihill told me he wanted i nozzles, hose and men. I immedi- lately called up for these items. The truck arrived in Juneau about |7:30 o'clock, I found the truck |alone on Front Street, hoses con- | nected to hydrants and all the men on the roofs working. At this time the truck wasn't being used for pumping o I sent the truck back {to Douglas and had more hose and nozzles put on it, and then had ‘a few firemen standing by in case of an emergency for Douglas, or | Juneau should need the pumper. {Juneau then called for the truck {again and in a short time it was in Juneau pumping water from the hydrant near the Hotel Juneau. All the firemen and the chief truck |driver did a very nice . job of | everything ~and should. be very proud of their able assistance and | cooperation that they gave. “Shortly afterwards, I had six men return to Douglas to load the |city truck with hose and chemicals 'to give Douglas some fire protec- tion. Whatever I undertook to do that day I did in good faith and for the benefit of both towns. “Another fire alarm was answered on February 16 at 9:35 a.m., when A telephone call came from Ju- neau, saying that a cabin was |burning on the Douglas beach side |near the bridge. And so the siren was sounded- and the truck went to the fire where 250 feet of hose was used and also the pumper. Even though it was outside our dis- trict for answering fires it proved to be a good pr: e and a good experience for every one. “I had a fire drill in the Public School on Friday, February 24, at 11.30 p.m. The school was emptied in 55 seconds. The students and ‘wnchers did a very nice job of leaving the building. “It would be a nice thing if we had a ‘ladies’ night at our next |meeting and have a nice little so- |cial including the honorary mem- bers.
