Vital Role St rest ti
"You can s>.v by wlial has hap-
pened in many cities in Europe,
and is now going on in London,
that fire departments must stand
the brunt of home defense in,
modern warfare." Fence asserted, j
"I thitik we are being negligent J
in not going over there to find out i
what to do under such conditions. I
Firemen are crying for the infor-1
mation, but no one can talk au-1
thentically. All we know is what j
we have heard."
Under Fence's proposal, fire-
men would volunteer to make the
inspection tour. He said he is cer-
tain there "are plenty of men in
Oklahoma departments who
would jump at the opportunity to
go"
Financing and transportation
are problems thai still must be
worked out, but Feiicc is confid-
ent that if permission can Ik- ob-
tained, there problems can be
met.
Fire Bombs tor Study
He said the most certain meth-
od of preparing to meet the emer-
gency of future attacks by ait
would be to see at first tiand how
incendiary bombs work.
Pence said he thought of the
plan after attending national,
slate and district meetings of fire-
men's training organizations and
realizing that no information
could be obtained as to how fires
caused by incendiarics are han-
dled.

DRUG CRAVING 'OUT BARliD
DALLAS, Oct. 1. (Spl.) The,
story of how Dallas narcotic ad-:
diets slake their cravingfor her-!
Jin by the use of paregoric was
told in Federal Court Monday by
two former addicts, now inform-
ers for the government, who test-,
ified they had bought all of the,
twenty-eight paregor*? exhibits
including a one-gallon purchase,
from a Dallas drugstore.
On trial for selling the pare-
goric arc Mcndal Morris, James
L. Armistead and Clarence Allen
Warren. Their attorney, Bert
Ash by. asked for a jury, which is
hearing the evidence.
One of the informers, C. Green,
testified that nearly all Dallas
drjpstorcs will sell an ounce rA
pf.-.Y'L'oric but only about 10 per.
cent will sell more than an ounce
at a lime.
He said he had bought the gal
Ion' from one of the defendants
and that he usually drank about
five or six ounces at a time to
appease his narcotic craving. H"
said most addicts would go
around from one drugstore to
another to buy an ounce at a
time.
Clyde Hood and William Fun-
ville, assistant district attorneys
prosecuting the case, told the jury
that the law requires that pare-
goric sales must be for medicinal
purposes. Fonville said a phy-
sician would be called to the
stand today when the trial is
resumed to testify that one to
five drops is a proper doso for.
stomach ache.

ward breaking the siege of Lon-
don, battled Nazi raiders who ap-
peared in greater numbers over
the central streets than or. pre-
vious nights.
British quarters boasted that
the new fighters — soon to be
operating in daytime -- and other
new-type defense planes will no',
only crush the assaults on Britain
but will carry the war back across
the channel to the European con-
tinent
Monday night the raiders
smashed at London's ring of su-
burbs, dropping bombs on at least
a dozen different districts, and
then came over the heart of Lon-
don where they were met first
by the blistering barrage of Ihe
archies and later by the new Bri-
tish patrol planes.
Incendiaries were dropped and
flames were seen against the
night sky over Central London,
but they vanished quickly after
fire-fighting crews had clanged
through the blacked-out streets.
