The toasts could be diluted etween times by sipping'water or 1 drink something like cider. Even the Russians didn't down a icavy slud of vodka every time. Some of them occasionally took vine, weaker than most American Some of the toasts re- juired only touching the glass to lips.

FIREMEN SEEK ENFORCEMENT OF STATE FIRE LAWS LOCALLY Members of the Gettysburg fire company at their March meeting Monday evening initiated steps to secure enforcement in Gettysburg of state laws requiring fire escape facilities on apartment houses and store and office buildings in Gettysburg. At the same time the firemen decided to send a committep before the Gettysburg council to inquire what borough help will be given toward the purchase of a ladder truck or new pumper and to suggest that council again earmark returned beer and liquor licence fees for the use of the fire company. Officials and several members of the company joined in the discussion of the need for additional ladder equipment for fighting fires in Gettysburg. The firemen pointed out that there are buildings in Gettysburg for which the company does not have adequate ladder equipment --that also are without fire escapes.

One company officer declared: "The state Department of Labor and Industry has been notified time and again about fire hazards hi Gettysburg which exist because owners are not complying with state laws regarding "exits and fire escapes. Investigations have been made but about the time we think something is going to be done, the whole case goes Seek State Aid At the direction of the company, President James B.
