TALIAN PLANES BOMB CARAVAN
FIREMEN BRUISED
IN PRACTICE
FOR STUNT

There has not been a pitched
battle at the firehouse recently,
contrary to appearances The
bruises and scrapes which the
fire laddies are wearing so be-
eomingly are the results of prac-
tice TO give their all for dear old
E. c. F. D.
The point is the boys have been
brushing up their speed for un-
loading, connecting, and getting
water through three sections OF
hose. The general idea is to jump
off the fire truck when it is 60
ing at the top speed which they
dare to face, taking a good hold
OH a piece of hose with them. The
faster the truck is going, the
shorter the time for completing
the job. and the more the bruises,
cuts ana scratches.
The purpose is a contest be-
tween Imperial Valley fire de-
partmentS at Holtville next Mon
day. The local bays have made it
in Is seconds and have done as
poorly as 26 seconds. The unof-
ficiai record, held by old E.C.F.D.,
of course, is something like l6
seconds.
incidentally, those looking for
a vicarious thrill will find all the
lads rehearsing their little stunt
tonight, and on a wet street, too.
They wouldn't tell where, claim
ing modesty and bashfulnesS.
