G.N.SO.-Residents of the ex,
elusive Topango Canyon district
fled for their lives today as a rag
ing brush and timber fire, throw
ing flames more than so feet in
the air, raced over farms, homes
and cabins.
More than a dozen structures
were reported destroyed by a fire
which already has blackened
1000 acres and was growing
hourly.
Fire officials, who last night
warned half a hundred inhabi-
tants to be ready to flee, today
sounded the alarm which sent
them scurrying out of the canyon
area. Hastily throwing a few be-
lodgings into autos, the house
holders abandoned their homes.
Thousands of firefighters were
massed in the district. under the
Los Angeles sheriff, county and
State fire wardenS and the CCC

AS a boy George Seymour Boyd

stable and grew to love horses.
So it was but natural that he
should join the District Fire De-
partment as a driver in 1897. But
his knowledge Of horses was so
great that he was soon placed in
charge of training all horses for
the department.
The greatest thrill he had was
during the great Baltimore fire Of
1904, when his company was
loaded on a train and made the

of 33 minutes.
Despite the fact that he was a
driver, he often took his place on

FILES SUIT TO
REGAIN POST

Arlington county's battle over
the legally constituted members
Of the county school board flared
anew as Mrs. Ruby G.. Simpson,
ouSted member of the school
board. filed mandamus proceed
ings in the Court Of Appeals of
Virginia to regain her seat now
being held by the Rev. Walter F.
Wolf.
Contending that "the entire
school program is being leopard
lied by actions of school board
held by the attorney general of
Virginia to be illegally conSti-
tuted," Mrs. Simpson said that
she believed the construction Of
Arlington county's new junior
high school will be further de-
layed by this existing condition.
Mrs. Simpson added:
II had expected immediate
court action by the proper
authorities to settle the ques-
ton. Such action has failed to
materialize. Many prominent
citizens have urged me to pro-
coed in the matter.
Therefore, Notwithstanding
the expense and personal in
convenience involved, 1 am fill
ing mandamuS proceedings in
the court of appeals, and hope
for an early decision. My deep
concern for our school system,
both as a citizen and as the
mother of two of ArlingtOn'S
$500 school children, whose
interest are at stake, impelS
mo to bring this action rather
than to brook further delay"
Controversy over the legality of
the appointment of the Reverend
Wolf arose when the school cleo
toral board failed to make its ap-
pointments within so days prior
to July l." which Attorney Gen
eral A. P. Staples held was the
law under which the electoral
board should act.
Appointment Held Legal
Commemorative Attorney Law
renee w. Douglas, of Arlington
county, in holding that the APP
pointment was legal, based his
opinion on an act adopted by the
General Assembly March 26 and
commended that the appointments
made July were valid on the
grounds that the act permitted
the electoral board to appoint
school board members after July
/ this year because the act became
effective just prior to the appoint.
ment deadline.
Attorney Charles Henry Smith,
OF Alexandria, a former member
of the General Assembly, who is
representing Mrs. Simpson in her
fight to regain her seat, filed the
petition for mandamus proceed
ingS with Sheriff Howard B.
Fields, of Arlington, today and
will forward the petition on to the
Supreme Court as soon as Sheriff |
Fields has served members of the
school board with notice of the
move,
Await Answer
Attorney Smith said that the
school board, if it intended to
contest the petition would have to
file an answer with the Supreme
Court prior to September II, when
the petition is made returnable.
The Supreme Court convenes at
Stanton. Va, September II. and
Mr.. Smith said that he would pre-
sent the petition on this day and
hoped to have a hearing before
the session of court adjourned.
John M. Stewart, chairman Of
the school board, refused to rec
ognize the opinion of Attorney
General Staples over that of Com
monwealth's Attorney Douglas and
accepted the Rev. Wolf as the
duly appointed member, thus de-
nying Mrs. Simpson her seat.
