Region 2-B BOrUIing Tournament Is Announced,
AII-S+ors Lose
Close Come

The Local IL All-Stars basket
ball team played the Kiesweter
Rugs, Tuesday at Macomber
High School in a City Fedora
tion game, and for three-quarters
of the game the All-Stars held
a commanding lead.
In the last period something
must have happened and the
Kieswetters slowly but surely
forged ahead to win the game
by the score of 80 to 26.
Bob Aultman, Johnny Manore,
Ezra Moore and Eddie Hill were
the shot makers for the ALI
Stars, but the whole team in
general gave the fans many
thrilling plays in the early stages
of the game.
For awhile it looked like the
Local IL All-Stars were going
to give the Kieswetters their
first setback of the season but
the latter's offense started to
click, with the resultant victory.

BeogIes. Or
Fox Hounds?

LANSING, Jan. "a - Beagle
fanciers, always loud in their
praise of the shortlegged little
rabbit dogs, are now telling
other dog owners that beagles
are better than fox hounds for
Michigan fox hunting.
Fox hounds, they say, are so
fast they run foxes out of gun
range and out of the county.
But the little beagles, moving
more slowly, find foxes, yet do
not alarm them into cross-coun-
try sprinting. Result, they
argue, is more shooting, more
fox pelts.
Conservation d art m n
game men tallying fox hunting
reports are not revealing any
figures for the beagles VS.. fox
hound argument.

Michigan Has
Strong Indoor

ANN ARBOR, MICH, Jan. "a
While the 1947 Michigan in
door track squad may lack the
balance characteristic of teams
coached by Ken Doherty, it may
offset this deficiency by con-
centrated strength in the field
events, particularly the shotput,
and the middle distance and
distance races.
Michigan, which finished 2s of
a point behind Illinois in the
1o46 indoor championships, will
have 16 lettermen including two
defending conference champions,
to bear the brunt of the indoor
campaign. Titlists are stocky,
little Charley Birdsall in the
two-mile and Herb Barten,
slender, long-striding Chicagoan.
880-yard king.
In addition to Barten in the
half-mile, the Wolverines also
will have George Better, 1945
letterman from Detroit and Don
Queller of Terre Haute, Ind,
best freshman prospect in both
the $50 and the mile.
Queller ran 4:24 two weeks

those who are undernour-
ished or underprivileged. 1t
is true that other organiza-
tions maintain camps for such
children, but most of them
are overcrowded and it is
only through some political
affiliation or pulp that
parents are able to enroll
their offspring in some of
them.
But with the Local II
camp, things will be run on
a democratic basis. All
members will have an equal
right to send their kiddies to
it and they will receive all
the benefits of camps where
only the "rich kids" were
formerly able to spend their
summer vacation. 1t will re-
quire a tremendous amount
of money to operate such a
camp, but plans are being
made to offset some of the
expense and TO keep the en-
rollment fee down to a
minimum.
The children will be well
fed and housed in clean
quarters. There will be a
supervisory staff to control
the kids health, safety, and
recreation. Education, for
those attending the camp,
will not be neglected and
teachers will be furnished
for the classes which will be
held out of doors.

ing with scaling ladders. And
these are but a few of the hun
dreds of routines with which
firemen must become so famil-
lar that they can complete each
one without thinking.
Each fireman must familiar
iZe himself with the floor plans,
exits and water sources in every
public building such as theaters,
hospitals, schools and offices in
his territory. In an emergency
the fireman knows his way
around, can lead people to safe
ty and not add to the confusion
and danger by losing himself in
an unfamiliar basement, attic
or corridor.
The "rookie" must learn to
know instinctively when to use
a spray, a steady stream, a
broken stream, or a chemical.
The fireman has to know
when to ventilate a room and
when to knock down the man
who runs to open the windows
to let the smoke out. A smoul-
dering fire may explode, if a
gust of air bursts in through an
opening. And on the other hand,
people may suffocate if a fire
man fails to raise a window.
Luncheon hour is 11:30 to
1890 and the rockies and the
regular firemen eat at thier sta
lions.
A Busy Life
After luncheon and as usual
whenever a group of men get
together, a card game around
a pot-bellied stove is next on
the routine of the day.
At 2 pm. the card game
breaks up and from then to 5
o'clock the students and the rest
of the firemen busy themselves
around the station repairing
hose, fixing the trucks and fill
ing fire extinghishers for pri-
vate citizens.
The probationary firemen has
a busy life during his first six
months and at the end of that
period he is crammed full of
fire-fi.hting facts and routines.
But what he has learned as an
apprentice is barely a start for
what he is expected to know in
a few years.
His knowledge, however, and
the cooperation of the people
whose lives and property he is
defending, will determine the
success or failure of the Will
mington fire department this
year.
