Kelly of the Police P ROVER ADDRESSES SERVIGE SMOKER * Police and Firemen’s Cath-) olic Society Event Is - Attended by 300. The need for more up-to-date fire- fighting equipment in Washington was stressed--by - former “District Attorney Leo.A. Rover last night at a smoker given by the Policemen and Fire- men'’s Catholic Society for their non- Catholic colleagues. While asserting no city in the United States can boast of better Police and Fire Departments than those -pf the District of Columbia, Rover & the same time deplored the lack, of Sdequate fire apparatus. He said much of the equipment is out- worn or outmoded, and should be replaced by modern fire-fighting ap- paratus. Approximately 300 members of the departments crowded the auditorium | at Knights of Columbus Hall, 920 Tenth street, to enjoy the smoker, the first of two scheduled by the so- ciety. The second will be held next Wednesday for the benefit of those who were on duty and could not at- tend last night's function. Several Talks Made. Although the evening was given over largely to an entertainment pro- gram of a varied nature, the group heard several other brief talks be- sides that of Rover. The other speak- ers were Father Thomas B. Dade, assistant rector of St. Patrick’s Ro- | man Catholic Church and chaplain | of the organization; Inspector EAward | . b, o4 o week from tomorrow. His | J. Kelly of the Metropolitan police, Fire Marshall Calvin Lauber, Her- bert Fride, superintendent of fire alarm headquarters, and Lee Everett, radio announcer at Station WMAL. Harry S. Bell of No. 24 Engine Co., president of the society, acted as mas- ter of ceremonies. One of the high lights of the eve- ning occurred at a late hour, when & group of vaudeville performers from the Earle Theater presented an hour's entertainment of songs and dances. Included in the group were Audrey Sieber, mistress of ceremonie§; “Lazy Dan” and the “Three Heat Waves.” Their offerings received manrrounda of applause. Other Numbers Amusing. Other features of the entertain- ment program were provided by James Mullings as “Congressman Jett Black” in an amusing skit, Pvt. H. E. Bur- ton of No. 22 Engine Co. and his hill billies and the “Bavarian Trio, Henri, Karl and Franz.” Inspector Kelly called attention to ' the fact that the two smokers have become annual celebrations of ap- preciation by the members of the society for their non-Catholic breth- ren’s sacrifice each Mother’s day, when the non-Catholics work double shifts so society members can attend mass in a body at St. Patrick’s Church.
