fire belching out of a building,
you have to grit your teeth to 60
in there"
A MOTHER example of woman's
l. "A courage remains with Chief
Keppel. He shakes his head with
admiration when he remem-
bers it.
That woman kept her head"
he says. "She woke in the middle
of the night, and learned that the
house was burning. Her aged
mother and father lived with her.
The mother had heart disease,
and the daughter realized that
any sudden shock probably would
+ kill her. She went quietly into
the room in which her parents
were sleeping, and awoke them.
"'The house in back of us is on
fire, and think we all had better
get dressed and get OUT she told
them. She helped the old couple
dress and get out Of the house.
Then she awakened her own
small daughter and started down
the stairs with her.
Halfway down the stairs, she
met the firemen coming up with
the hose and ladders. One of
them stopped and offered to help
her.
"I don't think I need any help,
thank you, she said. And she
didn't"
TINE indianapolis Fire Depart
l. ment is much more efficient
than it ever has been, Chief KEEP
pei believes. He points to official
records to prove it.
We've answered more calls than
before, with smaller losses" he
says. when we made a demon
stration for the insurance inspec-
tor recently, he told me that In
dianapolis had one of the finest
fire departments he ever had seen.
That's because every fireman
knows that Chief Kennedy is a
real fireman himself. The chief
knows how to fight fires, because
he has done it. And because of
that, Chief Kennedy knows when
his men are doing their work
right.
I'VE are getting a better class
of men in the department, too.
The depression has brought us
young men, many of whom are
college graduates. Of course it
doesn't take college education to
fight fires, but a young man
makes a better fireman if he is
clever. And the new merit board
has helped, too, in bringing up
the class of flremen."
Turning to the record book in
front of him, Chief Keppel point
ed to the 90 fires which he had
answered during the month of
October.
It's the high mark for me for
the year" he says. Three weren't
so many in November. That's be-
cause it wasn't very cold, and be-
cause there was lot of rain.
But now that December and
cold weather is here. we can ex-
pect trouble. That's why I don't
tie my shoes"
