Instead of the familiar say

Wilbur West, radio dispatcher
at the city police department,
who received the call at 7:11
o'clock, chuckled to himself
as he knew the players to take
part in this dramatic episode.
The story began earlier in
the evening when two city
policemen, L. E. Culbreth and
Davis M. Hall, were chatting
with West.
During the conversation Hall
asked Culbreth if he could bor-
row his car. Culbreth consented
and Hall drove over to the Ideal
Grill to get snack to eat
then it happened. The car
caught fire.
Hall very excited, tried to
nut the fire out without Sue
cess and ran to the telephone
and called West, saying,
"SSSsssend the fire truck-the
cars burning up"
West Immediately notified
the fire department of the fire
and then sent the police dis
patch car out to the scene with
Culbreth at the wheel.
When the police car arrived
at the burning auto, Culbreth
realized it was more than met
a car on fire it was bis

However, the excitement w,s
soon over. The fire was a~
