FIRE ALARMS ♦ OUTER DISTRICTS GUIDING PRINCIPLE tfhe view that the installation of fire alarm points in the outer suburbs should not be governed by the principle of acceding to requests from this organisation or that just because they had made requests, but on the principle of what was fair and just, having j regard to population, was expressed by the chairman (Mr. S. S. Dean) at yesterday's meeting of the Wellington Fire Board during consideration of a letter from the Houghton Bay Profressive Association. The letter, in asking for the installation of a fire alarm point, pointed out that the only means of communicating with the fire brigade was by a public telephone. Mr. Dean said that a report by the superintendent (Mr. C. A. Woolley) showed that the approximate cost of such an installation would be £98 15s, and that there was a difficulty at present in securing stocks of wire. Mr. Dean said he was afraid that there were more populous areas than Houghton Bay that would have to receive prior consideration. Whether they could fit in Houghton Bay and the whole lot when the new fire alarm system came in in about 12 or 18 months' time he did not know. Mr. Woolley: We shall be able to do that. It covers the whole of the outer areas. It was decided to reply pointing out the position and to attach a memorandum from the superintendent showing the areas that would be covered under the new alarm system. IN BOMBED ENGLAND «». — WORK OF SALVATION ARMY A cablegram received by LieutenantCommissioner J. Evan Smith from the Salvation Army International Headquarters in London reads as follows: — "General and Mrs. Carpenter spent a day visiting heavily bombed Midland areas. They met divisional, corps, and social officers who are engaged in emergency work. They also inspected mobile canteens which were supplying the needs of the crowds. They visited several officers' damaged quarters and halls. At Coventry the Army leaders met the Mayor at the council chambers beside a gutted cathedral. "The Coventry City Corps Hall is being used as a canteen and a clothes distribution centre. Army properties are damaged in Birmingham. Following the. Southampton raid Salvation Army mobile canteens were quickly in use. "There were several Salvationists among the Midlands raid casualties. Brigadier Micklethwaite, the first men's social officer to be killed in raids, was fatally injured while dealing with an explosive incendiary bomb near his hostel. "War Comforts and Red Shield Clubs are preparing special Christmas cheer for thousands of servicemen. Women's social leaders are planning Christmas dinner for bombed-out families of East London in the damaged Clapton Con-gress-Hall.

CoryWright. Mr. Cory-Wright, who presided, remarked that the year had been noteworthy for the move to Day's Bay. The site was a wonderful one and advantageous for a boarding school. The year's work ha"d been good and the boys', health exceptional. The school was quite a light in Wellington's educational circles, and quite a number of old boys were now with the forces. Already some had laid down their lives, and it was intended to erect an honours board. Out of respect to the memory of "Cobber" Kain, lan Beere, and Colin Gray, the audience stood in silence for a brief period. The headmaster, Mr. W. H. Stevens, hoped that with improved facilities the secondary department would grow. He paid tribute to the work of the staff and others who had assisted the school. MOTORS AND CYCLES.
