Zier, second pre- cinct, testified there was a police call box within 15 feet of the alarm box and that he falled to understand why Flora could not have used that. ‘The defendant replied that “fire- men get places quicker.” Unimpressed, Judge Mattingly said “180 days.” -— Pirst of its kind, an “at home” was held in the Tower of London by mem- bers of the West Yorkshire Regiment. “Daddy of Them A" SOLD, SERVICED AND INSTALLED BY' James E.
