Fireman's Ball....
There was a flurry of excitement about G:30 last night on Third Avenue in which quick-moving firemen chopped two doors down to get at a fire that wasn't.
An alarm was apparently turned in by a passer-by who noticed "sweat ' on the window of the Vanity Beauty and Barber Shop.
Firemen arrived on the scene in jig-time, noticed what appeared to be smoke at Better Value Furniture and chopped clown trie door of the furniture store— no blaze.
They moved next door to a barber shop and chopped down the door there—still no fire.
The whple mess was explained when the "smoke" was found to be steam, coming from a radiator valve.
Ted Knibb at the barber shop says he can't collect insurance for the broken door because there was no fire and "I'm not paying for it."
He added, jokingly, that if the "smoke" had not been found to be steam duty-conscious firemen "Might've kept going all the way to Woolworth's."
The only damage was to the doors as firemen frantically sought to find the seat of the "blaze."

LONDON (AIM — M osco w urged today that the East-West summit meeting be called quickly—the earlier the better.
A Soviet statement in effect lined Russia up with the United States and Britain, who have been thinking of a Decembei meeting. Moscow did not men ition President de Gaulle's hojd out for a spring .session, bui said the Soviet Union Is read} now.
"The c a rl i e ¦• n siiiinnt't meeting is called the butter it will l>e lor the causo of peace," ail id a Tass statement broadcast from Moscow. "The solution of urgent problems with a view to relaxing international tension can and must be achieved by the heads of government."
The Moscow broadcast game while the Big Three Westem powers deliberated over a preliminary get-together of their own, perhaps in Paris.
The Tass statement sought to clear up what is called conflicting reports in the foreign press •about Soviet views on the date of summit talks.
"In this connection Tass ha.-been authorized to state that the Soviet government's repeatedly tated position on this matter remains unchanged," the Soviet news agency said. "The government of the U.'S.S.R. regards a eeting of tlie heads of government as necessary and is ready oi' such a meeting.
"It also holds the view, expressed by the other states a.s well, thai the earlier a summit meeting is called the better it will be for the cause ol' peace."
Tass said the solution of urgent problems "can and must be ichieved by the heads of government, who are vested with reat confidence and the necessary powers to do so."
"If the heads of government •each agreement on the cardinal [uestions," it said "this will .•l'cate favorable conditions for he improvement of internation-d relations, the consolidation of vorld peace."
I) i p I o in a t i c informants in 3onn reported de Gaulle — who ¦arlier this week suggested, next prlng as the best time to go to ho summit—has invited President 'Eisenhower, Prime Minis-
ter Macmillan and Chancellor Konrad Adenauer to a Western meeting in the French capital.
The invitations apparently mentioned no specific date.
In Paris, a French government spokesman said these reports seemed untrue—"They do not appear to conform to reality." Hut he conceded it is possible that a Western summit meeting could be held in Paris before ihe end of the year.
Foreign Secretary Selwyn Lloyd of Britain conferred with .Soviet Ambassador Jacob A. Malik today for nearly an hour about the timing of a summit in eeting.
Britain believes Russia's call for au early .summit conference can hardly be disregarded.

.Mrs. Miller reported that her son was "hungry and cold" alter his little' escapade. And it's no wonder. The temperature rested around the freezing mark last night and Bobby was wearing a short-sleeved shirt.
His mother is now confronted with the problem of whether to punish the boy or not and, if so, bow?
Hobby's escapade last night isn't the first time the youngster has had the RCMP looking for him.
Earlier this year he. along with several other children, was the object of a wide-spread search. While RCMP and civilians were searching, Hobby and his friends were silting in a local theatre watching the show.

Aldermen Ken .lack mid "Spike" tinemark, of the city council finance committee, along with l>. J. I'arker, town planner, will represent the city at the meeting. They will. likely leave for Vancouver 011 tlie weekend.
Other mutters concerning the Coliseum—closed September -!2 after the city received i\ letter from the architects in which doubt was cast as to the safety of the building—will likely be discussed at the meeting also.
It is not known, but one matter which could be taken up at the meeting would be costs of the tests.
There was a month of negotiations, in which parties involved haggled over contract commitments and the like, before the city decided to take the initiative and have action taken on s;iif»;ly tests of ¦ the building. During that time C. J. Oliver, the contractor, refused twice u> conduct — and pay for—lusts, which the city sought under various agreements.
As the situation stands before the meeting Tuesday the city will hear costs of testing, initially, in order to get the building open again to the public. (Hockey season is fast approaching and revenue to be lost if the Coliseum remains.
