Dear Children: ! wish you could
be with me some day when a fire
alarm is turned in to the fire house
nearest my office.
1t would certainly give you a thrill
to watch that long hook and ladder
come swinging around the corner.
There is a fireman seated at the far
end of this long ladder, and he han
dies the wheel that controls the
back of this truck, and to see him
guide the rear wheels when they
make the short turn that is neces
sary to take the hook and ladder
over a narrow viaduct, makes you
hold your breath, and as the saying
goes, you take off your hat" to
the brave men who are our fire
fighters. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
