I It I The Most The death of two boys In a fire early yesterday has resulted In the calling of a mass-meeting for tonight at Our Lady of Grace Roman Catholic Church, on Egan Howard Beach, to demand adequate protection for the Howard Beach section of Queens. The victims of the fire were John Conmy, 12, an honor student at the Bishop Loughlln Memorial High School, Brooklyn, and his cousin, John Duane, 14 years old. The fire occurred in the attic of the Conmy home at 99-06 158th Ave, Howard Beach.

Three firemen were overcome while fighting the blaze. The two boys were asleep In the attic when the fire broke out. On the second floor Mrs. Conmy and three other Conmy children, Thomas, Eileen, 6, and Kathleen, 3, were sleeping. Mrs.

Mary Duane, visiting the Conmy home overnight following the burial of her husband Saturday In Calvary Cemetery, was also asleep with her other child, James, 6. The fire, of unknown origin, began near the head of the attic stairway and was first discovered by Edward Conmy, who was sleeping In the attic with the two victims. Awakened by the smoke, he ran down to the second floor and aroused his mother, his aunt and the four children on that floor. In the attic, meanwhile, the other two boys were attempting to beat out the flames with brooms. Father Is Fireman Mrs.

Conmy attempted to rescue the boys In the attic but was driven back by flames.

Hi The opening show consists of about 75 oils and some sculptures. There are some moderns among the oils, but nothing sensational. The show on the whole is conservative and the exhibits are about 75 percent from Queens. Some are from Brooklyn, some from Manhattan and some from Nassau. Among the outstanding exhibits is an oil by Paula Eliasoph, who presents tulips in the modem manner with predominant wavy lines suggesting light waves.

Another modernistic touch Is presented by S. L. Margolies of Hollis, who offers "Men of Iron," a study In skyscraper construction. This is a National Academy picture. Landscapes and Negro Life There are effective landscapes that catch the eye presented by Mr.

Bischoff and Hans Foy of Beech-hurst. Pictures that attracted considerable attention are the studies of Negro life presented by Sarah of Hempstead. One of them is especially good and depicts two women standing in the doorway of their home. The lines in this picture are extremely bold and clear-cut. A prize-winning picture is presented by Robert Lethbridge of Woodhaven called "Fish In Pan." They look almost good enough to eat.

Another prize winner which won first honors at Mineola last year Is presented by Sophia Mueller of Woodhaven. It is called the "Gypsy Minstrel." The sensitivity of the face and the life-like position and depiction of the hands, an accomplishment of few artists, attract immediate attention. The gallery will be open afternoons except Thursdays and every evening to 8 o'clock and on Wednesday and Saturday until 10 pm. social evening of the, auxiliary of the Woodhaven Council.
