Snow false alarm triggers seven mile county engine ride
A snow blown from a barn roof near the Zimmerman farm caused a city engine to respond to a five to seven mile trip into the county. Firemen reported the alarm from the farm and residents mistook it for smoke, a mistake discovered too late to flag down the engine. The Frederick Sea Service Division of the Victory Corps selected salvaging fur coats and stockings as its first major project with 93 students canvassing Frederick under Jean Gosnell. The city will save about 9,000 to 10,000 gallons of diesel oil over three months by purchasing power from Potomac Edison to run street lights.
