By GERALD A. HEBERLEIN

Anyivhere else in the United States "Go to blazes" could be justifiably construed as a left-handed remark, but at No­ tre Dame it means the local fire house. St. Blaise's Hall, No­ tre Dame's sleek fire department, is one of the few college- owned and operated fire fighting organizations in the country. Like many worthwhile things in life, the Notre Dame fire department is the eventual by-product of many lessons learn­ ed the hard way. During former disasters at Notre Dame the South Bend fire department sometimes managed to come promptly, sometimes not. Then about three years ago, a youthful fire bug, stung with the fiddling Nero complex, staked out for himself the job of burning down the campus piecemeal. Fires broke out in such radical places as the old SCHOLASTIC PRESS and Father Craddick's pamphlet rack in Dillon Hall. A series of nightmarish fires ensued and every building on the campus was thrown into potential danger. It was then that the administration thought it wise to aban­ don antiquated bucket brigade methods and to establish a modern fii-e fighting unit that could roar out to a blaze with split-second timing. In the spring of 1946 the present fire house was finished at a cost approximating some $80,000. Mainspring of the fire department is Brother Borromeo, who also acts as chief engineer of the power plant. The idea of developing a fire department never crossed his mind until an eventful day in 1939 when he was casually instructed to accompany a deputy state fire marshal on a tour of the campus. Loyal to his trade the deputy played the part of the alarmist to the hilt. Impressed by fire hazards otherwise invisible to the layman. Brother Borromeo became a deputy marshal on the spot and was put in charge of fire preven­ tion and fire fighting at Notre Dame. The fire-fighting apparatus at that time consisted of three man-drawn carts and hose. Under repeated pressure Univers­ ity authorities approved the acquisition of a 55-foot ladder and 500 feet of hose. In 1940 Brother Borromeo found it ju­ dicious to suggest that a method of transfer be supplied for the hose. All the University could aflFord at the time was a truck chassis. Brother Borromeo found no sense in wasting time and before long with the help of his assistants in the Power plant and several Brothers, he built an up-to-date seven ton truck with all the latest equipment. None had ever tackled such a project before but they proved themselves competent in the finished job even to the red paint and gleaming brass. By September the truck was ready for service. The first run, the station's log reveals, was not to a fire but to help a locomotive in distress. The locomotive, pulling a football special, derailed north of Notre Dame. The fire department was summoned to supply water to the gasping engine which had lost its own supply by leaning over. With 850 acres of campus and its more than sixty build­ ings, plus St. Mary's College and the surrounding settle­ ments nearby to guard against disaster, the Notre Dame fire department has a man-sized job on its hands. Its functions are similar to those of any city fire fighting unit. This in­ cludes: fire prevention, careful inspection of all buildings on a monthly basis, rescue and salvage work, investigation of

The Radio Club turned up its volume last week. Breaking the calm that has prevailed throughout the ether for the last three weeks, forty-five club mem­ bers put their stamp of approval on two fifteen-minute radio shows, started work on a third. Their aim, according to Fath­ er Archibald M. McDowell, club modera­ tor, is "to put Notre Dame back on the radio map as soon as possible."

Purdue has everything to gain and zero to lose by knocking off the Irish, and if they can field their best eleven they might come close. However if the local lads can keep their eyes on their block­ ing assignments and off the talent that invades the campus on such gay days and if the ND backs can find the holes without the aid of seeing-eye dogs, it may be a landslide. n.

Q. How long is a second? A. Sometimes it's 3% YEARS

One second is not always one-sixtieth of a minute —not in tele­ phone mathematics. Suppose, for example, you find a new method that clips just one second from the time it lakes to process a toll ticket. Then apply that saving throughout the Bell System where some 115,000,000 toll tickets are handled a month. The time saved every thirty days equals 3% years! Important? From seemingly minor changes or savings frequently come the major improvements which mean better working conditions for telephone men and women and better telephone service for everyone. In this industry, even long established methods of operation are never considered beyond improvement. For men with ideas and ability, that viewpoint is a stimulating challenge.
