One of the teenagers who entered the shelter is a Boy Scout and also participated in the first training program. "I guess he had fun the last time and as long as his parents didn't object. We were pleased that the boy indicated an interest," H.M.

a vital thereapy," the former Davenport man added. He has medals and awards to prove his success in wheelchair sports, including basketball, javelin throwing, table tennis and racing. Table Tennis Florescu was the international gold medal winner in quadriplegic class table tennis in 1964 at the Toyko, Japan, Paralympics. He has been on U.S. wheelchair athletic teams in competition in Canada, England, France and Spain.

He was a gold medal winner in 1967 1st Pan American Paraplegic Games in Winnipeg, Canada. The medal was for swimming and table tennis competition. The Scott County Chapter of NAPH, he said, will emphasize sports competition. He outlined the local NAPH goals: Establishment of the 1st Iowa Wheelchair Games for all orthopedically a d-icapped men and women in the state. The 1st annual Iowa Chess Tournament for the physically handicapped.

A self-help service to provide the paralyzed and other physically handicapped persons information on rehabilitation programs. Cooperation with Scott County Committee on Employment of Handicapped Persons. Florescu said the new NAPH chapter will complement existing programs in the Iowa Quad-Cities for handicapped persons. He mentioned the St. Ambrose College program for the handicapped as one of several existing programs.

St. Ambrose is a favorite subject for Florescu. He graduated from the college in 1951 with a degree in sociology and education. As an athlete, he carried the Blue and Gold colors of the Ambrose Bees to victory on the playing field. Florescu was a four-year letterman on the Ambrose track team.

He participated in intramural sports and organized the basketball team as a coach-player. Army Service Prior to his college days, he served with the U.S. Army in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The Army experience and the sports competition at Ambrose made Florescu a determined man after his swimming accident left him in a wheelchair. From two years in Dearborn, VA Hospital, Florescu came back as a strong advocate of rehabilitation for handicapped persons.

In his student days, Florescu, "ran the torch" up Brady Street hill to open homecoming weekends at St. Ambrose. He is still running a torch up the hill for persons who have let their handicapped conditions kill their will to be active citizens. By Fnnk Folwill Furnishings, walls and ceiling were charred by a fire that caused extensive damage at the Blue Grass fire station Saturday. Fire Chief Fred Kautz said it appeared the blaze was deliberately set.

Arson Hinted In Blue Grass Fire Authorities are checking the possibility of arson in a fire that gutted a portion of the Blue Grass fire station at dawn Saturday. By GUS KONDOS A civil defense training session Saturday at the central fire station in Moline was interrupted for the second consecutive week when firemen taking part in the program were called to a house fire. The interruption lasted about a half hour. The fire was minor. A week ago, firemen who were taking part in the first of three training session went to the Quad-City Airport on standby duty when it appeared a crippled Air National Guard C-54 airplane might make a forced landing at the airport.

This interruption lasted more than three hours. The plane was diverted to Ran-toul, 111., where it landed safely. Twenty firemen and three teenagers entered a simulated fallout shelter on the second floor of the fire station at 10:30 a.m. Saturday. The exercise will continue until 6 a.m.

today. Prepare Supervisors The training sessions are Ask these before you 1. WHArs THE BEST SIZE? Depends on what you want. Miniature or toy tables (under 3' 7') can bs fun-but you won't get anything like real billiard action. Professional tables are 4 9' or 4' 8'.

If 4 8' is still too big, get a Z'A' and make sure it comes with 2K balls and regulation cues. 2. WHAT KIND OF BED SHOULD THE TABLE HAVE? The table bed must be rugged and flat. At one time, all good beds were slate; but, modern science has changed that. Brunswick's Permalevel and Levelite beds give you all the playing qualities of slate-plus port-ability-at lower cost.

These fine tops don't need leveleis because we build 'em level to stay level-and BRENTWOOD There's a Monterey SIZt TYPE OF BED svy 1 7' Honeycomb Honeycomb 3'2x7 4x3 VIII hind darkened windows on the second floor of the five sta-: tion. Food "luxuries" include! lemon drops and instead of bread, firemen and their guests ate crackers and rations from tin-cans. Drinking water was also limited to about a cup for each person. One Room For the first several hours, Eveland said movement was restricted to one room which was blocked off from the other portions of the second floor. "After we determined that the radioactivity had dropped, we let them out of the room and gave them free movement," Eveland said, "but we probably would have permitted this anyhow because the heat in the room became oppressive," he added.

Eveland said the firemen have concluded classes on fallout procedures taught by two Western Illinois University professors. Another group of firemen is scheduled to take their turn in the shelter next week end. 6.WHOMDOICALLFORSERVICE Most tables have warranties running from a year to a lifetime, but unless the manufacturer is around to back them up, they're worthless. A war ranty that requires you to ship th table back to the factory is a nut. sance.

With the Brunswick warranty, if you need service, just cat your local Brunswick dealer. He's authorized to handle everything. S. HOW MUCH DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR A GOOD TABLE? Surprisingly, you don't have to pay a lot to get a good table a professional quality Brunswick table. Of course, we've got the world's most luxurious table -at $2,500.

But for as little as $295 you can put real Brunswick billiards into your home. See for yourself CELEBRITY 4x8 $495 V.IP. VIII V.IP.

That was several years ago, and Florescu didn't do it in one wet afternoon.

It took him two years, swimming a quarter of a mile at a time in a Detroit pool. Florescu laughed as he recounted the venture Saturday night at Hotel Blackhawk, Davenport. "After it was over STEFAN FLORESCU Athlete a scandal sheet newspaper came out with the headline, 'crippled man swims 50 miles in two Florescu added "They made it sound like I had been in the water two years." Athlete On The Move The former Davenporter Is a wheelchair athlete on the move, preaching the gospel to other handicapped persons that they should not give up. Florescu was in Davenport with his wife, Carolyn, Detroit lawyer, to finalize organization of a Davenport chapter of The National Association of the Physically Handicapped (NAPH). Florescu is national president of NAPH, a non-profit organization which seeks to help the physically handicapped meet their economic and physical needs by involving them in group sports and leadership training.

A quadripleigc as the result of a 1952 swimming accident, Florescu said the Scott County chapter of NAPH will be installed by a national officer two weeks from Saturday. Key Organizers Roy Bitzer, of Davenport, and Marcia and Leo Florescu, of Moline, are key organizers in the Scott County chapter, said Florescu. The local group, he added, will "bridge the gap" for handicapped persons who are released from rehabilitation hospitals, but who are not ready to resume a full life. Clinton Man Sentenced After Chase CLINTON, Iowa George D. Dean, 19, of 3208 N.

4th Clinton was sentenced to 63 days in the Clinton County jail Saturday when unable to pay fines totaling $225 on three traffic charges. Dean was arrested Friday night by an Iowa highway patrolman after a high speed auto chase on a county gravel road in the vicinity of Bulger's Hollow north of Dean was charged with speeding, running a stop sign, reckless driving and driving under a suspended license. Justice of Peace Frank Hall referred the license charge to District Court and fined Dean on the other three charges. Dean was in Clinton Municipal Court Friday on a charge of receiving stolen money in connection with several break-ins. That case was continued.

The burning ropes caused a heavy smudge that coated walls with oily soot.

In 120 years of building fine billiard tables, Brunswick has yet to find an acceptable substitute for 700 live rubber cushions and good, 100 wool cloth. Our $2,500 tables have them. So do our $295 tables.

4. WHAT KIND OF ACCESSORIES COME WITH THE TABLE? All accessories should be regulation size and type to assure top playing qualities. Brunswick supplies costly, premium quality, American made, cast phenolic balls sturdy hardwood cues bridge, triangle, and chalk. Rooster Crows Best A state fire marshal from Des Moines, who inspected the scene of the $4,300 blaze, said the fire was "definitely set." The fire official told Fire Chief Fred Kautz of Blue Grass the blaze could have been accidental or intentional. The Scott County sheriff's office is also investigating the blaze which destroyed all records in the fire station, dating back to 1956.

Kautz said it was the first fire in the station since Blue Grass volunteer fire district was created in 1902. Not Like This "I've been chief since 1932," said Kautz, "and we've never had anything like this." The chief would not comment on the possibility of arson. He did say, however, that two nylon cords, about the size of soda straws, were found stuck on the outside of the block building. The cords were charred, indicating they could have been used as fuses to touch off a blaze. Kautz said investigators also found three fuses in back of the fire station, one of which was under a wooden water tank.

About 24 members of Blue Grass volunteer fire department fought the blaze after Henry Kock, the town marshal, discovered the flames about 7:20 a.m. Kautz said three fire trucks were safely removed from the building before the blaze spread from the meeting room area. Still Usable The chief said fire helmets and boots charred by the blaze can be used, but fire-mens' waterproof coats were destroyed, as were fire district maps and records. The meeting room, he said, is used by volunteer members of the Blue Grass force. It will cost about $4,300 to restore.

Total cost of the Blue Grass fire station was $42,000, all of which was raised by local subscription. Kautz and members of his volunteer force, aided by several girls from Blue Grass, cleaned debris from the charred meeting room Saturday afternoon and night. "We realty want to thank the girls," said Kautz. "They washed all our dishes." He explained that the dishes were in a kitchen area of the room that was gutted by the fire.
