of the road was covered by deadly
sniper fire.
Sergt. White loaded ammunition
into truck, planning to drive it at
top speed and run the gantlet. The
hail OF bullets was so heavy as they
move close to the ridge, however,
that to drive a yard farther would
have been fatal to the men sitting

The driver, protected by the cab

Retires This Month;
Presented $3.50 Watch

some of the best people at some oil

the past 40 years.

chief and acting deputy chief in the
District Fire Department, who has
attended every White House recep-

A $3.50 watch was presented to
Chief Allan by James Collifiower.
At the moment Mr.. Colliflower
handed him a watch. it slipped to
the floor and became somewhat

course. After the chagrined chief
looked over the broken watch for
a few minutes, they got out the
real one and told him the broken
watch was just a fake.
Bell Is Master of Ceremonies.
Pvt. Harry S. Bell was master of
ceremonies. Before the banquet, all
the firemen in the off-duty platoon
throughout the city were invited to

time in the history of the depart
ment anything like that's ever hap
.pened.
Chief Allan was sent to the White
House for receptions during the ad-
ministration of President Theodore
Roosevelt. He missed shaking hands
with him but he's greeted every oc-
cupant of the White House since.
His job has been to mingle with the
guests and keep an alert guard
against any cigar or cigarette butts
that might be flung about care
