Figurine Painting
By Mrs. FOy Braswell

Mrs. Foy Braswell and the work
she does in painting figurines
were material for a feature story
appearing not long ago in the
Dawson County Review, Glendive.
Mrs. Braswell and her family
formerly lived here, but have been
residing in Glendive the past few
years. The story, by Pat Kuhns,
was illustrated with a picture of
Mrs. Braswell in her workshop at
home. Shown also were many
figurines, some fully painted and
others in process.
Writer Kuhns quoted Mrs.
Braswell as saying, 81 have al
ways liked anything that was in
the line of painting Or one of its
branches, and so l am studying
figurine work and attempting to
interest others in this type of
painting" Dresden craft, which
the story said Mrs. Braswell is in
Producing in Glendive, is describ-
ed as a process of painting al
ready modelled clay figurines with
enameled paints and then apply
ing an especially prepared powder
the paint to make the object
resemble the beautiful but ex-
pensive Dresden china figures.
Mrs. Braswell is the mother of
Mrs. S. w. Lance of Laurel, and
is described in the feature article
as an attractive grandmother.

Once Famous
Gun Turns Up
In Judith Gap

New York, Sept. 20.-Harry L..
Kemp of Judith Gap, Mont, it

A letter to the chief of the Lau-
rel volunteer fire department from
David S. Thomas, district engineer
for the board of fire underwriters
of the Pacific, dated July l., 1850,
explains the need of the proposed
new fire truck, the purchase of
which has been authorized by the
city council. The letter is quoted
here.
"In working on the tentative
grading of the fire defenses at
Laurel, based upon present condi-
tions, l find that your water sys-
tenn is supplying a domestic con-
sumption about so per cent in ex-
cess of that prevailing at the time
Of the last official grading. Since
there have been no changes in
pumping equipment, or elevated
storage, this considerable increase
in domestic consumption reduces
the amount of water available for
fires. So it is not surprising that
of our schedules to the
present situation would result in
a grading one full class greater
than the present one, which is US
ed for the establishment of present
fire insurance rates.
eff a modern automobile, triple
combination hose truck, 100 gallon
or larger water tank, and pump of
at least 500 gallons per minute ca
meeting in all essentials the
standards of the National Board of
Fire Underwriters, is added to your
fire department, the present grad
ng of class 6 "a be retained. This
=. contemplates the retention of
he truck in service"
In that an increase of one full
grading of the fire defenses in
laurel would result in an APPROX
nate increase of 10 per cent in fire
insurance premiums, it is felt that
he cost of a new truck, properly
equipped, would be more than off
let by insurance costs between now
md the time of the next grading.
The chassis of the truck, accord
ng to specifications now released,
hall have a minimum of 145
lorse power engine with approx
an 160-inch wheelbase and
load length of "a inches or more
Jack of the cab to the center of

{ the complete apparatus shall
lot exceed 25 feet.
The hose compartment shall
ave a capacity of 1000 feet of
u Inch D. j. fire hose, 400 feet
f 1h-inch d. j. fire hose, and D.,

ween the water tank and the

Also included in the specifica- {

allied instructions as to the struc- 7
