Firewatchers Smother Incendiaries
MEN, WOMEN AND BOYS AT WORK IN LONDON Received Monday, 11.5 p.m. LONDON, Jan. 6. Fire-watchers, consisting of men, women and boys, extinguished hundreds of incendiaries dropped by two waves of bombers over London last night. Not a single fire was started. The fire-watchers stood in doorways singing: "We Want Some More.” They had not long to wait. A third wave of aircraft dropped more firebombs, but they were also dealt with speedily.
