Allen climaxed the display of

Don't Play With Fire Thompson Tells Students From Hospital Bed
NOW is a good time to see our new Spring Suits — Styled by Griffon
By RUTH BEELER
"Never light a match in a basement!" was the message Marvin Thompson, college freshman, gave all students yesterday.
Thompson received severe burns in an explosion, Feb. 11, at the Lavery Insurance agency, 1407 Mass. St.
