The Nome nugget., 1948-09-15

PASADENA, Calif., (P) - The Pasadena fire laddies slid down the center pole, grabbed their tin hats and roared out on the oP hook n ladder for a fire at a pottery plant.
 While they were gone, somebody smelled smoke in the fire station, peeked in and discovered that there was fire from whence the snake emanated. No use calling the fire department, so-a call to the police.
 With siren screaming the cop pers arrived, rushed in the fire station, and discovered-a burning roast. The firemen had left the home fire burning. The only loss was five-pound roast.

HISTORY, SERVICE OF
INSURANCE OUTLINED

]. R. Carmichael of Billings spoke
on property and Fire Insurance.
at the Tuesday meeting of the Ro-
tary club. He was introduced by
Meyer Harris who was in charge
of the program.
There are indications, Carmichael
said, that fire insurance was being
written in Assyria as early as $500
B. c., and that the business was
carried on in Babylonia as far back
as 2300 B. C.
Modern fire insurance was start
ed in the year 1867 after the dis
astrous London fire. This ealyr start
was a one-man affair, but it was
apparently felt that greater cap
ital was needed, for the original
member of the company soon form
ed a partnership with another man.
In 1853 another company, known as
the Friendly Society, was formed in
London. AS these ventures proved
profitable, they were soon joined in
the field by other companies. One
Of the later companies, the Sun Fire
Office, formed in ITO, is still in
existance and doing business.
Benjamin Franklin founded, in
Philadelphia, one of the first fire
insurance companies in this country.
1t is quite in accord with generally |
accepted description of Franklin
to assume that he would have a |
great interest in such a venture.
In an effort to protect them
selves, the early companies came to
maintain their own fire departments.
There was no interchange of as
sistance among these departments,

If at any time after Aug. 2, any

almost musical note on his tele-
phone line while he is talking-a

the special equipment which sends
the warning signal over the line.
The telephone company will install
and maintain only the equipmen.

Two Laurel petroleum truck driv-
ers won awards when the Montana
Motor Transport association staged
its first annual truckers roadeo in
Billings, Saturday, July 81. Russell
F. Cunningham of Great Falls, a
driver for Tabor Brothers, was high
point winner and will represent the
Montana association in the nation
al roadeo which is scheduled to be
held in Washington, d. c., in Octo-
Der.

second; John Matz, Laurel, a driver

An unusual situation developed
when all the top positions in the
truck and full trailer class were
won by men who are petroleum
truckers. This class is customarily
the stronghold of the men who drive
the dry freight trucks.
Aside from the actual driving
tests, which were given on an OBJ
stacle course set up by a member
IF the national association, there
we're written examinations covering
of the trucking industry,
,raffic regulations, fire fighting,
'irst aid and safety methods.
A great many prizes were award
ID by Billings merchants to the men

Record Crop Harvest
Car Shortage For Moving Grain To Terminals On

Of Present Wheat Is Marked Aid For Europe

Delayed slightly at times by rain:
in the past week, harvest of grair
crops in the vicinity of Laurel anC
elsewhere in the south-central dis
trict of Montana is making good
headway towards garnering what is
expected to be the states greatest
wheat yield of record. Laurel and
Hardin usually lead the state in
beginning and finishing the wheat
harvest.
Elevator men say the marketing
situation may be complicated soon
by a shortage of cars for moving
the grain from points of origin to
the major grain markets on the
Great Lakes and the Pacific and
Atlantic coasts.
A large portion of this years
harvest will go to Europe and other
parts of the world to feed people
in war-devastated countries, for al
though France, Belgium, Holland
and the people of Scandinavia have
better crops than last year they
still do not have enough to fill all
reeds. Food for Japan continues
as a responsibility for America.
With the rains last week that
helped to fill the grain in northern
regions and higher districts of the
state there were accompanying low
