Russell, accompanied by other
members of the Utica Fire De-
partment have brought to Utica

ment, a GMC tank truck with
capacity for carrying 1000 gal
Ions of water. This is the second
carrier purchased by them and
both will be fitted out In the
same manner as the other truck
in the outfit.
The trucks are the private
property of the local fire fight
ers and will be used principally
for the fighting of fires outside
the city limits to which the city
department cannot go.
BY a contract signed by the
Shelby township board the men
will receive a flat rate of 81 ,o0o
yearly for fighting all fires with
the exception of grass fires, 10
which runs will be made only
when buildings are in absolute
danger. Sterling Township IS
paying $3.50 for twenty fires
The contract with both town
ships became effective Jan. /.
Proof of the. necessity for this
fire protection is shown by the
fact that three runs have been
made to Sterling fires since the
first of the year. The last one

Berlin
Continued from Page One


High military staffs were
evacuated from Berlin in haste
last week and the capital is sup
posed to be declared a fortress
soon. Whether the government
will remain in Berlin is uncer-
tain, but it seems improbable
since all civilian life is to be
placed under military authority.
OFFICIALS GONE
The Government was evacu-
ated in part after the last heavy
daylight raid on Feb. 3. For
some time it had been function
ing only formally in the devas-
tated government quarter. Sew
eral ministries were laid in
ruins that bloody Saturday as
result of the American carpet
bombing, and long into the
night workers sought to recover
archives from the ruins. The
same scene was enacted outside
though blasted open, never was
fully laid in ruins.
With the proclamation Of
Berlin as fortress the last
chance of escape to future bat
tlefield will be practically elm
mated. In reality this opportun-
ity has not existed for the civil
population for weeks. Berlin
simply can't be evacuated be-
cause there is no place to 60
and no means to travel.
AS drove toward the Baltic
coast the roads were crowded
with endless caravans of refu-
gee prairie wagons" from Pom
erania to West Prussia, all NOV

every village and every town
was packed with refugees to the
last corner.

makes evacuation unthinkable

Caddies to Be Scarce Again
PLEA: LIGHT BAGS FOR LIGHT BOYS
By NJ. +. DRUKENBRop

Caddie superintendents and golf
pros are agreed there'll be no
relief in the caddie situation here
this season.
Until vacation time. there won't
be enough boys TO go around and
even then, not enough for week
ends and special occasions.
This means doubling up, two
bags for one boy, a problem in
itself, because the caddies again
will be smaller and younger than
in prewar days.
Hughy Syron, Detroit Golf
Clubs capable caddie superin-
tendent. offers a solution.
Tighten the loads the boys
must carry" Syron says, "and
they not only will enjoy their
work, but give moro efficient
service"
Smaller bags, fewer clubs and
removal from bags Of such extras
as umbrellas, sweaters and prac-
tice balls are urged by Syron.
Canvas bags now in general use
weigh as little as one pound,
compared TO eight or nine pounds
for the heavier leather bags In
vogue some years ago.
With the cooperation OF Of
fcials at his club. notably Arthur
J. Lacy. former president and
caddie chairman, Syron began
campaigning four years age for
lighter leads fer his eaddics.
Notable results have been OBJ
tanned, il is revealed in a report
filed with members by Lacy.
Whereas few years ago the
weights carried by caddies at this
club averaged about 2S pounds, a
survey made last season by Lacy
and Syron showed this figure has
been reduced TO approximately 10
pounds. Obviously that makes a
big difference for a boy who is
two bags.
The same cooperation on the
part of golfers has been noted at
all clubs the last few seasons.
