We are sure all the fellows who participated in the Softball games enjoyed themselves, and it is hoped that this recreation will continue again next summer;without their en- thusiasm the games would not have been played, and possibly next year a permanent 3 or 4 team league will be organized.

If you are fighting a fire with a hose or any type of water stream, always aim at the object that is burning, never at the smoke or flame, If the fire is spread out over the floor or ground, start at the end nearest you and sweep it out completely as you advance. If the fire is travelling up a wall, put out the fire at the bottom first and then follow LD UD. When fighting a fire due to an electrical cause, first turn off the power. You should know the location of the main house switch and a simple pull of the handle cuts off power throughout the house, That prevents the fire from being re-ignited and also avoids the possibility of giving yourself a severe electrical shock, Most boys agree that "being a fireman" is the height of their ambition.
