OTHER GROUPS PROTEST LEGION JULY ATH PLANS

|Fire: Marshal Calls Move to Sponsor Displays ‘Class Legislation.’

- A proposal by American Legion officials for that drganization to be given exclusive rights to sponsor July 4 fireworks displays in cities throughout Indiana brought protests today from a score of other

organizations which. also sponsor fireworks events. State Fire Marshal Clem Smith said he will oppose any attempt of thé American Legion to have ordinances passed in Indiana cities legalizing the Legion as sole sponsors of displays. “That would be class legislation and would bé unfair to many other organizations desiring to stage, fireworks displays,” Mr. Smith | said. The proposed American Legion ordi-, nance is so drastic that it would result in the repeal of the entire

| fireworks law.”

third doy the town was inundated. In the meantime the main company was on flood relief work here. Whole families: with furniture "and possessions were evacuated rom the flooded districts. Stores with all their ' merchandise “were moved to safety. Portable short wave radio sets were put in operation and 60 miles of telephone line, which had al-

. |ready been built, was turned ever

to the Indiana Tell Telephone Co. for their use since their lines were down or flooded. Maintenance on this line was done from a row-boat as most of it was under water. All ‘the mail to.and from Tell City was. carried by CCC trucks. Flood relief was carried on at night, as well as the daytime. Tell City was without city water or electric power. Log booms were constructed around the river side of the town to protect buildings and retain floating lumher piles. Thousands of board feet of lumber were saved this way. As the waters receded, flood cleanup and | water purification work was done. Only one man is left of the original| company. He is the Mess Sergt. Andrew Limeberry.

William E. Sayer, state adjutant of the Legion, declared that it was

-|not the intention of the Legion to

have®' ordinances introduced in towns where there were already annual fireworks displays, such as the one in Indianapolis sponsored by the Sahara Grotto. “I am rather surprised that Mr. Smith would feel as he does about the matter,” Mr. Sayer said. “The

displays.
