New Kensington Daily Dispatch

Honest Mister, I thought it was a coke machine, wails a frightened young miss who has just pulled the lever on a fire alarm box at the corner of Fourth Ave. and Eighth St., bringing out New Kensington fire-fighters in full force. Police Sgt. Jim Corey and Fireman Norbet Barker try to calm the girl, assuring her she won't go tojail for her innocent mistake.
