Hew Chimes in Congregational Church Tower The chimes that began pealing out over Mason City this week are in the of the First Congregational church. They give the time of day every 15 minutes.

On the quarter after the hour, a group of 4 tones may be heard. At. the hour the group is doubled. At 15 minutes before the hour, there are 3 groups, or 12 tones. On the hour -the chimes ring out with 4 groups of 16 tones before striking the hour.

The chimes are so arranged that they- may sound inside and outside at the same The organ also can be played over the chimes for both outside and inside listening. All this is regulated by-a'device run by a clock which may be set to control the chimes to whatever schedule is desired. At present the chimes sound the time from 8 a. m. to 9 p.

m. The idea of the chimes and part of the cost came at the request of a member of the church who heard them while in a hospital elsewhere during his last illness.

Infantry and Army Are Not Say! Recruiter "Most men have the wrong idea that the infantry and army'' are synonymous," L. J. Seiler of the Mason City army and air force recruiting offices said here Saturday. "The infantry includes 13 per cent of the army." "With the exception of combat arms such as the infantry and artillery, the technical services of the army are almost identical to those of any other branch of service--air force, navy and marine," Sgt. Seiler explained.

Same As Other Branches These technical services that are identical in; all branches of the service include the signal corps, where the job is communications; corps of engineers, where the job is construction and maintenance of installations; quartermaster corps, to receive' supplies from manufacturers and issue them; the finance department, which pays the men and issues them their equipment. Other identical technical services he named were the army medical service in which the job is to care for the sick and wounded, the ordnance department which maintains trucks, jeeps and cars and handles guns and ammunition; the chemical corps, where men develop offensive gases and defenses against them and the transportation corps which moves equipment and men. Are the "Punches" The of the army is the infantry, and artillery just as the "punch" of the air force is the tactical air- force composed of fighter groups and strategic air command made up of heavy bombers, Sgt. Seiler said. A high school graduate upon malting application prior to enlistment in the army, may select 3 schools in thd order of his choice and state the date he desires to enlist.

His application is forwarded to the commanding general of the army training command. At a later date, about 10 days, he is informed by mail that a reservation in the school of. his choice has been made, he enlists he will attend that school after 6 weeks of basic training at Fort Riley, Kans. "Never An Exception" "The recruiting service has accepted hundreds of men under this arogram and there has never been one of a man not getting the school of his choice," Sgt, Seiler emphasized. Sgt.

Seiler reported that 2 army enlistees, Allan A. Elthon and Leraan J. Floy, both of Fertile, left Triday for Des Moines for final processing in the regular army. Also on Friday 18 men at the local recruiting office filed application 'or regular army enlistment. These men were: John C.

Plan Concert Cafe Kensett--Kensett Music Mothers met at the schoolhouse and made plans for a "Concert Cafe" to be held at the schoolhou.se on Saturday evening, Feb. 10 Synchronized Traffic Lights to Be Installed Motorists with complaints 'about having to stop for red lights at almost every intersection on Federal avenue will be swapping those frowns for smiles next spring. The reason? A new master controller. Last summer the city council approved the expenditure of $26,000 for acquiring new stop-and-go signals and other traffic equipment.

Included in this other equipment is a master controller which will the new signals from 4th and N. Federal to 2nd and Federal. It will be at the police-'station. So if there'are no loiterers and "Sunday drivers" ahead, motorists will be able to drive straight through Mason City's business district on Federal avenue without a stop. The old signals have individual timers supposedly synchronized but like old watches they do not keep correct time and often are off synchronization.

A report on installation of the new equipment and how it will improve traffic conditions in downtown Mason City was given at a Mason City-Cerro Gordo Safety council meeting by Sgt. John Hrubetz of the police department. The apparatus for the project arrived Friday. New stop-and-go signals will be installed at. 1st and S.

W. and at State and Pennsylvania. Chief of Police Harold E. Wolfe said that the new signals will have heads on all 4 corners. With the new pedestrians will have a -light in front of them at all crossings.

There will be 4 lights on each signal face, green, red, yellow and. 'walk." All 'new signals will be blinking yellow at night for Federal avenue traffic while traffic entering Federal will be faced with blmking red lights. Underground cable is being replaced with plastic covered cable and all the traffic equipment in the above mentioned locations will be new, Chief Wolfe said. The old.signals may be used in residential districts when needed. Work on installation of all the new equipment will probably be completed early this spring, Chief Wolfe said.

He concluded: "We are just as anxious as the public to have the new signals going." CARS SKTO, COLLIDE Two cars we're damaged considerably at 9:55 a. m.

The young pastor is one of two ministers to be married in the long history of the church.

The other was Silas McKeen, who served back in the 1800's. Mr. Vor- ba'will be the only pastor to be married in the church. Doctor McKeen married his 3 wives elsewhere. All of which 'is evidence that they kept good records back in New England.
