AMY DRAFTS

LOCAL FIREMAN

Kennedy Worried About 30 Other Single, Young Men of Department.

The first’ fireman to be drafted || under the Selective Service Act is |

Joseph Krebsbach, 27. And therein is a major headache for the Fire Department, Chief Fred C. Kennedy said ‘today. ~The Chief counted 103 firemen in the Department who are eligible for

the draft, but probably won't be| #8

called immediately because they| 3% : are married. There are 31, however, | g

who have registered and are single.

“What we are going to do if these | |i§

boys are called,” Chief Kennedy

said, “I don’t know. We'll be han-

dicapped. You can’t train new fire- :

men overnight.” Mr. Krebsbach, now in training at Ft. Harrison, was granted a leave ‘of absence by the Safety Board ‘yesterday. The Board ruled in this first case that the fireman’s pension ‘rights in the department shall centinue, but the year he spends in the Army will not count as one of the 25 years he must serve before he becomes eligible for his pension. The Board members decided that this policy will be followed in all

cases where firemen are drafted.| A similar arrangement has been |

worked out for the Police Department.

$6500 TO CHARITY

CLEVELAND, Jan. 22 (U. P.).— Receipt of a $6200 bequest from the estate of a Woman who came to this country a$ @& Gerrian immigrant and worked most of her life as a laundress here was announced today by the Cleveland Foundation,

| |a charitable organization.

After her death it was discovered that except for small gifts to relatives her estate had been placed in trust with a local bank for the benefit of the foundation. Litigation had: delayed release of the fund. Director Leyton Carier, of the foundation, said that the first $500 grant is now being drawn upon for contributions to the Cls >veland Society for the Elind. Miss Bohm came to. the v. S. when she was 16 and earned her own living as a laundress until she was more than 70 when a leg ampu-

tation and failing eyesight incapacitated her.

Old Serapbook Prized for Data on School Flag Dispute

There’s Not Enough Money To Euy It From Mrs. Fogarty and Children.

. By EARL HCFF Graduates of the old St. Patrick's School for Boys owe a {debt of gratitude to the late Williain H. Fogarty and the voluminous scrapbooks he loved to ‘keep. Jhose scrapbooks, 4 kept by Mr. Fogerty’s wife ‘and children at their home, 2445 Park 'Ave., bear up the contention of St. Fatrick’s grads that theirs was the first school in|c the city to fly an American flag. Mr. Fogarty was’ a graduate of St. Patrick’s and he saved every newspaper clipping he could find of the dispute at- the turn of the century amabe three claimants for the

honor, Others .Claim donor

Public Schools 28 and 32 both believed that the honor belonged to them. School 28 has a bronze plaque which says it was the first public school to raise the American fiag. There were claims and counterclaims by the patrpns of each school, recorded in the city’s daily newspapers and carefully filed by Mr. Fogarty in his s(rapbooks. Finally, however, the public schools admitted that the henor belonged to the parochial schogl. As a sort of resumi of the civic pride battle, the Catholic ColumbianRecord on April 9, 1904, reported for record that Thanksgiving Day, Nov. 27, 1890, had been the eventful day at St. Patrick’s. On tnat day, according to the clipping, Joseph Turk and Brother Alexis made speeches of .presentation and Bishop Dennis O’Donaghue accepted the flag for the school. Michae! F. Raferty Jr. raised the flag_and he was assisied by Michael Matthews.. Flag Was a Gift

The fiag was a gift 0 the Brothers of Sacred Heart, insfructors in the school, by the Knights of Father Mathew, Tom Burke Commandery. At least three greduates of the school who took pait in the ceremonies are still living. They are Mr. Raferty, Charles A. Slinger and Timothy P. Sexton. School 28 was: the first public school to fly an American flag in January, 1891. The School 32 flag went up several mcnths later, St. Patrick's School for Boys, which was one of tha oldest schools in the City, was (isecontinued in 1922. it had occupied a building at the intersection of Woodlawn Ave. and Hunter Sf. Mr. Fogarty’s screipbooks contain many clippings which bear his own name, for Mr. Fogarty was a poet and contributed to newspapers. He was a founder and president of the Fidelity Trust Co. For a time after her husband’s death, Mrs. Fogarty said, she and her nine children c¢uld not bear to look zt the scrapbooks that Mr. Fogarty spent long evenings filling. No, there isn’t a sum of money large enough to get those books away from them.
