Local Firenen at Lafayette.

The DonaIdsonville fire department was
represented by the following delegates at
the twelfth annual convention of the
Louisiana Firemen's Association held at
Lafayette on Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, May 81, % and 20: E. D. Melancon,
Phoenix Fire Company No. L; V. A. Ro-

pany No T. Vic Camel, Volunteer Hose
Company No. 2; Abe Samuelson, Vigilant
Hose Company No. 3; Paul Wilheit and
Rocco Savoia, Protective Hose Company
No. 4. On Sunday quite a number of the
local fremen went to Lafayette to partic-
ipate in the parade and contests held in
connection with the annual public eele-
bration of the state association, Protect
/ i've Hose Company No. sending par
ticularly large delegation. The local fire
ladies are enthusiastic in their praise of
the delightful treatment accorded them
by the people of Lafayette. They declare
that nothSng was left undone which could
in any way have contributed to their
pleasure or comfort, and that no effort
was spared to give them good time and
make the annual gathering of the fire.
mems association an unqualified and en-
joyable success in every particular. While
each and every citizen of Lafayette is en-
titled to thanks and praise for the hospi-

larry jealous in their efforts to make the
stay of the fire fighters one to be pleas
antly remembered.
