108 WLEAN FIREMEN QUIT ASSOCIATION Fairfax Body Will Seek to Form Organization in County Alone. @pecial Dispatch to the Star. MCLEAN, Va., Octovber 14.—The Mc- | Lean Fire Department has decided to | withdraw from the Arlington-Fairfax ! Piremen's Relief Association and to| initiate a movement for an assocfation | of Fairfax County companies only. The resolution severing relations with the | two-county organization was unani- | mously adopted Saturday night at the | quarterly business meeting of the local Fire Department and auxiliary. The secretary was instructed to inform the secretary of the Relief Assoclation of this action prior to the monthly meet- ing tomorrow night. Long Dissatisfied. | According to Chief Beattie, this de- | cision is the result of dissatisfaction brewing over a long period, but brought | to a head by the action of several mem- bers of the Ballston Department, who, at the time of the fire which destroyed | the Fairfax Garage last month, were | said to have been under the influence of liquor and to have attempted to | carry away a drum of oil and other | automobile supplies salvaged from the | garage. | “Regardless of whether these charges e correct or not,” said Chief Beattie, “‘our men resent the association’s refusal to investigate the charges and, if found to be correct, to reprifnand the princi- pals. To take the position that they ‘were merely naughty boys on a prank, in which the association is not con- cerned, is a reflection on the integrity of all the other members,” he added. He further stated that thers was a tendency among the Arlington County | company, which he said was contribut- | and assistance given by the McLean company, which he said was contdibut- ing not less than $100 a year toward | the association, in addition to the time given by individual members in helping with carnivals and entertainments. By their withdrawal, the McLean company stands to lose an equity of approximate- 1y $650 in the association’s relief fund. Invite Co-operation. | The officers of the McLean company were instructed to confer with the other companies of Fairfax County to invite their co-operation in forming an As-| sociation of Fairfax County firemen, to concentrate on problems of local in terest. It also was decided to make a drive to have the Fairfax County board of supervisors approve the fire- men’s insurance law adopted at the last State Legislaturs law, which pays a death benefit of $1,000 to fire- men killed in line of duty, with weekly compensation for total disabllity, be- comes effective only when adopted' by the different county boards. The department decided to hold a community Christmas tree on Decem- ber 27 in front of th: engine house, with Christmas carols and a short service, SUBURBAN NE\VS.: Mrs. Pauline A.

When his disappearance was noted by his 6-year-old sister, Mildred, she started a search that ended in the rear yard of the Pigg home, when she found her little brother lying in the pond, which is 15 inches deep. Screams Bring Help. Mildred's screams attracted Pigg and the child's father, Watt Newman, and the former drew’ the child from the water. When first aid treatments failed to revive him he was placed in the au- tomobile of Frank Allwine, chief of the Potomac Fire Department. Six minutes later the physicians at Emergency Hos- pital were administering heart stimu- lants, but without avail, Just how the child succeeded in opening the gate that guarded the lily pond is not known. It is presumed that he was attracted to the pond by a num- gr of toy boats that were floating ere. Whooping Cough Blamed. ‘The parents of the child were told that he could probably have extricated himself had it not been for the condi- | tion in which he had been left as & re- sult of a case of whooping cough, of long duration. Surviving the child are his father and mother, four brothers and four sis- ters. Funeral services will be held to- morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at Cun- ningham’s undertaking establishment, Alexandria. Interment will be in Co- lumbia Gardens Cemetery, Ballston, YOUTH'S ELOPEMENT PLANS HALTED BY POLICE Special Dispatch to The Star.
