FORT WORTH. Tex, Nov. 1T-Ath-
letic brothers generally come in
pairs, such as the famous Waners,
Of the Pittsburgh baseball aggrega-
tion. However. in Fort Worth there
who, in addition to being water ex-
perts, are also life-savers.
All Of the brothers are members OF
the Red Cross life saving corps and
have gained the highest honors OBJ
tainable in hat organization.
From two TO five "rescues" from
brother. The Oldest Of the Blazi
brothers ~ Otto, 80; Ignatius, Sec
ond in line, l. rs; Frank, "a; George,
p, and Peter. Jr., the youngest, 20.
Father Was Swimmer
They are the sons of Peter Blazi,
who, in his younger days, was one
Of the best swimmers in the south
and west, and was the holder Of sew
eral water records.
During the past summer, Frank
Blazi was credited with saving two
persons from drowning and two more
Of the brothers were credited with
one each.
Few families In the United States
have as many members registered on
the rolls Of the Red Cross life-savers
Is the Blazis, records of the organ
ization show.
The brothers learned their best
strokes at the "ol swimmin' ole
down on the farm. After the elder
Blazi moved his family to Fort
Worth, his sons continued their
water activities in the numerous
lakes and water pools in and near
Fort Worth.
Win Red Cross Meet
Swimming just seemed 10 come
natural to US" Otto says. dad was
a good swimmer himself and he
taught us our first strokes. We OBJ
tanned more enjoyment out Of swim
ming than anything else"
During the past summer, when n
rescue ace was conducted by the
Red Cross, the Blazi family took the
first three places. Frank was first,
George, second, and Pete, third.
The Blazis have considerable ex-
perience in searching for lost bodies
in the water. They have constructed
a diving bell through which oxygen
is pumped from the surface and
while n Of the family descends In
the water in search Of a body the
others stand by ready to assist.

DEEP RUTS JOLT
; UNWARY DRIVERS
Conditions on Road Being Re-
paired Cause Hostile Comment
CUTS CONSIDERED MENACE
East Berlin After Double Header
Baseball Games For Saturday.
Son Born to Local Residents-Car-
ter Refuses to Act Further.

Considerable criticism is afoot
among the residents of the town re-
garding the excavation activities of
the Gammino Construction Co.,
which is handled the building of
the new highway between Worthing-
ton Ridge and the New Britain city
line.
Local residents feel that, although
the construction work necessarily
means many drawbacks to the mo-
florists, the Providence firm is not
caring for the open portion of the
road as it should. Particular criti-
cism is cast at the bitches which
now scam the highway, culvert con-
struction having necessitated the
trenching of the road. 1t is stated
that upon completion of the culvert
work, the bitches were losely filled In
with dirt which rapidly sunk after
the pounding it received at the
hands Of the daily traffic and today
four or five ruts approximating six
inches in depth present a dangerous
menace to automobile traffic which
could be eliminated through the
more complete filling in Of the eX-
cavations.
Bus traffic which traverses this
road is especially hard hit by the
condition of the highway, the deep
ruts necessitating an almost COM
plete stop before the heavy machines
can roll over the deep ruts in the
surface of the road. Bus operators
state that II one of the ruts was
struck while the bus was going at a
normal rate of speed there would be
a good chance that the vehicle
would leave the road and turn tur-
tie.
Motorists unfamiliar with the
roads have received many hard
bumps as they struck the deep ruts
in the main highway. Although the
road is legally closed by state sign
boards warning passing machines
that the highway is in poor condi-
ton, the fairly good condition of
the roads on either side of most of
the bumps often disarms the drivers
who attempt to make up for time
lost in the areas of actual copstruc-
ton.
The district under discussion is
mainly situated on the Beach Swamp
road, although conditions there have
been aided little by the work of
employees of the Connecticut COM
pany who, in connection with the re-
moving of the old trolley tracks fill
ed in some of the deeper ruts for the
safety Of the busses that traverse the
highway at that point. The worst rut
exists on the Pennington avenue
thoroughfare, in front Of the Berlin
Auto Sales Co. 1t is understood that
employees of that concern have tried
to alleviate conditions by continual
applications of dirt filings but the
traffic of the highway demands some
filling material more substantial than
ordinary dirt, they claim.
While for the most part, residents
of this place have proved willing to
overlook many existing conditions in
order that work on the long dream
ed of highway might not be delayed,
considerable agitation for the remc-
dy of the bumps is afoot today. 1t
is thought that the town officials will
bring the matter before the state
highway commission which, will
notify the construction company
