Hot Time Planned
By Local Firemen
There’ll be a “hot time in the
old town” when the Volunteer
firemen give their annual dance
New Yeai’s Eve, for which they
made plans at the regnlar mon
thly meeting Tuesday.
Arrangements have been made
to rent Blinn’s hall for the big
dance, and money was approp
riated to purchase favors, decor
ations and traditional noi-ema
kers.
To appoint committees to
handle the arrangements for the
dance a special meeting was set
by R. V. Loughead, fire chief, for
November 18th, at 8 p. m.
Because the ranks of the vol
unteer firemen have been thin
ned by the draft and other vac
ancies have occured, it was de
cided to invite a number of can
didates into the organization.
After a discussion of finances
the meeting adjourned.

Fingerprint File
Crows 26,418 Day
Fingerprints of employees on
defense jobs helped swell the to
tal number of prints received by
the federal bureau of investiga^
tion to 607,621 for the previous
month. Last year the same mon
th averaged 13,469 fingerprints
a day, but this year the daily
average of 26,418 set a new re
cord.
During the month J. Edgar
Hoover, director, said 577 ar
rests were made as a result of
fingerprints being sent in. The
fugitives were arrested, in most
cases, on another charge, and
connected with crimes for which
they were sought by their finger
prints.
The total for the month wa«
increased approximately 15,000
by persons who voluntarily plac
ed their fingerprints in the civil
section of the bureau’s identific
ation division as a means of per
manent identification.
