questionable.

SAVES 2 BOYS AND DOG

Buflford, Conn. - Mrs. Francis
Gnioran, rs, q former lifeguard,
jumped up from her dinner table
and into the ice-cold water of West
Lake to save two boys --one of
whom resisted rescue until assured
MS dog also would be saved. The

Question-Should I vote
for a Negro candidate if | do
not personally care for him?
Answer-Yes. Your voting
should not be motivated,
solely, by personal interest.
Any Negro who has the posi-
bility of being elected should
have our support. Racial re-
presentation is what we are
striving for.

Question-Can / vote for
both Negro candidates on the
same ballot?
Answer-Yes, that is the
thing to do.
The Tribune. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1951-19??, 1956-06-09

Question-Why are we be-
ing told to vote for only one
Negro?
Answer-There are those
who feel that is the only way
to elect their friend. They
would rather see the Negro
race defeated than have any
one other than their personal
choice win the election.
The Tribune. [volume] (Roanoke, Va.) 1951-19??, 1956-06-09

Question-Why should I
vote for both Negroes?
Aswer-Because we are in
terested in getting someone
of our own race to represent
us; and if you vote for both
Negro candidates, it will give
us two chances, instead of
one, to get one of our own on
City Council. In other words,
if one is not elected, the other
might be.

Forester Seeking
'Hoi-Shot" Fire Crew
For Coming Season

A 1hot-shot" crew for fighting
forest fires is being organized by
Bill Adams, local Forester for the
Bureau of Land Management. A
group Of about six men will be
given training in fire behavior,
methods of fire suppression, and
in the use of fire fighting, equip
ment, Adams said this week.
The Forester explained that
many fires in the past have great
" increased in size because of
the difficulty in getting trained
men to the fire promptly. The
hot-shota crew will take initial
action on the fires and will be
relieved by another crew which
will carry out mop-up operations.
The Hhot-Shot" crew will then
be returned to Palmer and re-
leased until the next fire call.
They will seldom be left on the
fire for more than two DAYS.
since their job will be to control
the fire until a larger crew can
reach the scene, Adams explain
ed.
Anyone interested in this type
work should contact Adams at
the local fire guard station. Ap-
phcants must be at least 18
years of age and be in excellent
physical condition. Three local
men have already shown interest
IN training for the crew, he said.
Adsms IS especially interested in
getting men who have jobs near
Palmer which they could leave
for a few days when q fire re-
port IS received. Young men en-
pleyed on farms in the Valley
would probably be available for
tires during most of the summer.
he added.
II the crew develops into an
effective fire fighting unit. it
VIII probably be used on fires
throughout the entire Anchorage

up the crew and place them at
