Birds Arid Shrapnel Of Civil War Figure In Year's Odd Fires

NEW YORK, Jan. 10. (UP) 1946 was a year of queer fires as well as big ones. In Mississippi, a sparrow picked up a lighted cigarette and carried it to her nest.

In Marietta, Ga firemen fighting a blaze in a war museum restaurant were kept at bay by exploding shrapnel. It seems some of the Civil . War weapons were still loaded. Speaking of firemen helplessly watching a building burn, a Tennessee fire department went out to fight a tobacco warehouse blaze. En route, the fire truck had to stop for a slow-moving freight train. The warehouse burned down. Also embarrassing was the fire that broke out in an Oklahoma office building one day. It did little damage except to the dignity of 19 fire insurance companies, an underwriters' association and an inspection bureau, who as tenants were smoked out of the building. In Freeport, N. Y., a tramp who spent the night in a clubhouse over the fire station accidentally set fire to a sofa. Too ashamed to tell the firemen, he walked across the street to a cafe, borrowed a nickel and put in the alarm. The firemen were unaware of the fire over their heads. In New Jersey, an arsonist went about setting a forest fire, paying little heed to a plane that buzzed overhead. State police nabbed him shortly afterward and informed him the plane carried a fire warden. In Texas, another arson suspect complained of a sore back in jail and asked for a turpentine rub. A prankish cellmate gave him the rub and also a burn, by setting fire to the tur-

Edward has been in the Navy for four years. ment nas oeen conducting a campaign for several months to get farmers over the county to put on an extermination drive to rid this section of foxes. They have done great damage, to chicken flocks, young pigs and wildlife such as quail. The four farmers participating in this hunt combed their farms and several neighborhood fields with the resultant bagging of one "redskin." They are going to continue their efforts, they say, until that section is so risky to Br'er Fox he'll seek other haunts. Maybe there'll be "twenty-two" lster on we hope so.
