Quick Connection
Four days is as long as we ever
keep a secret.
When the Robertson garage at
Seventh and Main in El Centro first
started squirting smoke as an in
dication of the conflagration that
followed, Earle Davis was driving
past in his wifeS car.
Earle parked the machine, waited
lorg enough to give the fire a
good start and then went back
to watch the fun. He stood around
on the curb and had as much sport
as a kid at a circus until his
mind begar to wander.
Now this illustrates how my
mind operates-just like a steel
trap Earle explained later. 1T
came to me in a flash that only
an hour before I had left my own
car inside!'
Earle managed to control himself
until the smoke died down ano
then found his machine, undamag-
ed but a bit smoky.
