PRACTICE ALERT A practice alert for the RCA Building was held on April 27th. At 3:00 PM the alarm sounded 50 times and the alert was on. While most of us waited in the shelter zones or stifled on the fire stairs, an emergency fire squad battled a simulated fire on the seventh floor. First Aid was administered by Nurse Stuve to volunteer casualties who were treated and removed with dispatch. We were not alone in our discomfort. The entire audience of "Live Like a Millionaire" was detained in the sixth floor corridor for the duration of the alert. All programs went on the air as usual.
