Driver Pete Kale, of the Chemical, who is one of the assistant chiefs, assumes the position that he has the authority to dispatch apparatus for out-of-town service, and therefore can designate his own co'm- pany for such work when he deems it Difference of opinion regarding this attitude are being discussed extensively around the various fire, houses, and'there is likely to be renewed agitation of the matter in a few days when a letter from Robe- sonta reaches here.

Gave Him the Authority Peter Kale, driver of the Chemical flra company, and second assistant chief of the volunteer department of the city, feels much misused by discussion in the department relative to his response last week to an alarm sent in from Robesonia. He explains that be took his authority foj- the run out from an order May 26, 1923, from the chief of the department, directing the Liberty and Chemical companies to respond to calls from the rural districts. The same order directs the police sergeants at City Hall to notify one of tbe two companies above in case of out of town calls.

Assistant Chief Kale states that when the call from Robesonia came he endeavored to locate Chief Shuey but there was 0 response. Upon His return to the city, following the fire, however, he learned that it was not. Shuey's number, but a similar number that had been called in mistake, hence the failure of a connection. Sellers of Food at Church Festivals Must Have State Certificate Lebanon ministers and their active officials and workers, especially in churches given to raising funds through the medium of church socials, bazaars, wil be deeply interested to jearn that men, women and. children who sell articles of food at Church bazaars and festival-, including "sof mus all have health certificates, according to a ruling of the State Department ot Health.

It is estimated tha every town in the stat has hundreds of citizen's who a at sales for the benefit of churches, almos none of whom comply with the jaw. Because of the far-reaching character tne issue he Pottsville Board of Health asked for the decision and Health Officer Kleckner has been ordered to strictly enforce the ruling. This means that workers at Churcn ealea must have the same qualifications as estaurant waiters. It is believed the ruling will greatly reduce the number of those participating in these sales.
