Second St. Phone 1108 - 308-3tx Englishman Aroused By Old Building Sale London (United Press) —Another American menace is threatening England. according to A. R. Powys, secretary of the Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings. "There are signs", he said, "that the American campaign to buy up the choicest evidences of early English history is likely to be carried on in the future on a most dangerous scale." There have been three or four instances recently, which attracted attention in the press, of wealthy Americans buying old buildings and having them carefully shipped home in pieces, to be reconstructed there. Powys mentioned in particular an Elizabethan •Market Hall which was bought thes for $1,500 from a city council, and of another council selling richly carved timbers of a house dating back to 1400 which was pulled down during streetwidening operations. —— , o —_ Earth Tremors Rock Calexico, California Calexico, Calif, Jan.
