Hunt Firebugs
In New England’s
Forest Fires
BAR HARBOR, Me. (/P) — A
c;alm night gave battling crews a
new defense foothoold against the
New England forest fire sweep
but they were working last-Satur

police throughout the area hunted

, communities destroyed, reported
its busiest front Saturday in Wash
ington county and the weather
bureau said winds may climb to
15 miles an hour.
Reported evidence of arson
were being investigated by police
from Cape Cod to Maine; and
Massachusetts was fighting two
flareups in Falmouth on Cape
Cod and Gloucester.
This island resort reported its
stand against flames “the best it
r has been” and police authorized
Sam J. Sachman to open his
clothing store to supply fire crews

Three coast guard cutters put
iout from Southeastern Alaska
j ports late Sunday and were to ex

■day.
Five vessels of the Alaska forest
service and two planes and three
ships of the fish and wildlife serv
ice were ordered to join the hunt
today
Cannery boats were alerted to
be on a lookout for any trace of
the missing clipper, and logging
camps were asked for any clues.
Ten light planes were scheduled
to comb the area within 40 miles
of Annette, and six other planes
will range farther out under the
1 direction of the coast guard.
Three planes of the 10th Rescue
' Squardon are to search the air

couver, B. C., had offered the
services of a Hudson bomber.)
Sheldon Simmons, famed Alas

How To Prevent
Fires In The Home
Rubbish Fires
Provide covered metal cans to
hold necessary collections of rub
bish. Remove rubbish regularly
from the house, particularly from
attics, closets and such out-of-the
way places. Where there are accu
mulations of old boxes, furniture,
paper, combustible trash or de
bris, can get a quick start and
spread rapidly. Carelessly discard
ed “smokes,” matches, or sparks
from stoves or furnaces will often
go out of their own accord if there
is no rubbish or other combustible
material to ignite. Some kinds of
waste material may ignite spon
taneously.

^X” Factor Cause
Of Alcoholism
SAN FRANCISCO, f/P> — An
unexplainable and as yet uniden
tified “X” factor in a man’s make
up is the cause of true alcoholism,
not a nagging wife, a prolonged
“lost weekend” or other previous
ly accepted causes, says Dr. How
ard W. Haggard.
The director of the Yale uni
versity laboratory of applied psy
chology told the institute of alco
holic studies here Friday that he
suspected the factor may be a
glandular secretion. Exhaustive
studies of the metabolic processes
of drinkers are under way to find
the answer, he said.
America has three million prob

need help, Dr. Haggard explain

Family Has Record
For Land Ownership
r -
WAYNESBORO, Va. (/Pi—Prob
ably the record for family owner
ship of a single piece of property
in this part of Virginia goes to the
Stiegel family, designers of the
famous Stiegel glass. The family
has kept a farm near New Hope
for the past 133 years.
Grover C. Stiegel of Waynes
boro farmed the land until this
past spring when his mother, Mrs.
Charles B. Stiegel, died. The farm
equipment was sold at public auc
tion, and in order to settle the es
! fate, the home was put on the
block, but a great grandson of the
first owner—Jacob Stiegel—was
the high bidder so the land will
stay in the family.
