She can probably establish other feed stations around town. However, we have been assured by Police Chief Jesse McMurtry of police assistance if Mrs. Hunter violates any city ordinances.” ” » » “THERE'S no law against feeding birds,” Mrs. Hunter retorted. “I've seen my attorney about it.” She declared that this is the “darnedest town I've ever seen— putting up trapezes like that for birds. Other cities build shelters instead.” Mrs, Hunter, a property-owner who nevertheless sells papers nightly at the Claypool hotel corner, asserted that “the birds don’t bother anyone and children like them.” . 8» SHE SAID she had heard that a couple of persons had left wills providing money for the feeding of pigeons. * However, she has never seen any of these funds and continues to buy feed with her own money. Her daily visits to the park will continue, she declared emphatic= ally, and she is hoping for an eventual pigeon victory.

Firemen who battled the blaze for two hours to prevent it from spreading through the other factory building 20 feet away, said they would have to pour water on smouldering embers all day. Damage to the adjacent structure was ‘estimated at about $500. Firemen said the fire apparently was started by a -short circuit in the electric wiring system. In a downtown fire last night, slight damage was done to the basement of Seymour’s Credit Cloth-

st. The cause of the fire was unknown. . :

over the week-end, sharply reducing the number of distress calls for coal yesterday. Authorization for release of the army stockpilé at the fairgrounds came ‘to Col. Frank J, Mills, commander of the 863d specialized depot, yesterday from the war department in Washington.

Must Get Clearance

This coal will be available to householders only through dealers and the emergency coal committee. Orders from persons with five days’ supply or less will be accepted at the controller's office, first floor of city hall, Alabama and Ohio sts. The cost will be $6.24 a ton in either one or two-ton lots, plus a 50-cent charge per ton if necessary to wheel in the coal. The committee has advised householders to order two tons wherever possible. Distress cases—where there is illness in the households—will continue to receive a priority over other emergency orders but only after verification of circumstances. These cases affer exhausting all other channels should phone the emergency coal committee at RI ley 4301 (in the case of city residents) or the Marion. county sheriff at RIley | 3515 (in the case of residents out- | side the city limits). Investigations of these cases will be made by either the Red Cross or the sheriff before certification of distress will be made.

’ | 8 = =» HOW TO GET COAL

. Only persons with five days’ supply or less are eligible by federal order ‘to receive delivery of coal during the current shortage. Deliveries are limited to a -maximum of two tons. : Thére are four steps that will

also help end the coal shortage: 1. Call your regular dealer. He may be able to supply you before your supply is exhausted.

2. If unable to get dealer delivery, go to the controller's office, first floor of city hall, Alabama and Ohio sts. Order one or two tons of emergency coal ¢Indianas mined fuel) and pay $6.24 per ton. It is recommended that two tons be ordered if possible. A charge of 50 cents per ton will be made if the coal must be wheeled in. 7:

3. Where there is sickness in the family, phone either the emergency coal committee at Riley 4301 (for city residents) or the sheriff at Riley 3515 (for residents outside the city limits). An investigation of the circumstances will be made and the order certifiled as a distress case if conditions are verified. 4. These certifications must be sent or taken to city hall along with_the money as no orders will be taken on the phone: However, certified cases of illness will receive priority over other emergency deliveries.
