SUGAR CREEKS ENGINE
BALKS ON WAY TO FIRE
Notorist Tows Equipment to Scene
Of Blaze, Then Tires Blow
Out on Way Home.

SUGAR CREEK, N. Y, (N.AN.A).
"A year ago the citizens of Sugar
Greek, N. Y, boasted brand new
FIRE truck that had the rest of the
county green with envy. But evil days
have fallen upon Sugar Greek. At
the first test their fire engine failed
ANONYMOUSLY. The reason was lack
Of exercise.
For the last IL months the town
had as many fires as fireless cooker
and the engine champed at the bit
restnessly Recently the alarm changed
and smashed four cobwebs. Siren
shrieking, the engine tore out of the
fire house, but few blocks away it
lay down dead with an empty gasoline
tank. A kindly motorist towed 1t to
the scene of the fire.
To make matters worse, two tires
blew out while the truck was return
ing home. A dark, grim silence has
fallen over Sugar Greek.
