TWO PAIRS FAITHFUL, SPIRITED HORSES, GROWN
CRAY IN CITYS SERVICE Superseded BY MODERN
HIGH POWERED MOTORIZED fire APPARATUS

For four veteran grey fire horses
the last "all out" has sounded.
To humans alone is not always
accorded a life full of concentrated
action, nor deeds worthy of emu
lation. Sometimes, now and then,
from the four-footed kingdom, COW
cred by the dust of unobservant,
everyday life, there crops out tale
Of implicit trust. logged gamenesSl
and unstinting faithfulness that lin
gers for years as an example of true
nobility. Once again such a story
comes forth--for in Augusta, the fire
horse passes.
No human has striven more I'M
swervingly to fulfill his task in life,
nor has given more faithfully of his
body and Drawn to accomplish the
deed set before him than Colonel
and Major, Dick and Jerry, the two
beautifully matched pairs of greys,
for IL years the pride, of Augustus
fire department.
And now they are through, their
strenuous work done; and their
passing makes way for the shining,
motorized wood and steel thing
whose precise and mechanical per-
lection will never know the leap of
tingling blood that comes from fine
ly equipped and trained muscles.
The shrek of the fire siren, once
to them the signal that somewhere
in the city they were needed, no
longer brings them forth from their
stalls with impatient hoofs. arching'
necks and regal lifting of heads re-
f1ecting the pride they felt in their
calling. The prancing eagerness to
be off to the clamor of gongs is only
a remembrance of the past. For
Colonel and Major, Dick and Jerry
are old. as the ages of fire horses
are reckoned. and the city they have
served so well has asked them to
serve in another capacity, and in
their silent, equine way, they have
assented. These veterans of the fire
service are now hauling the carts
