BIX MEDFORD (OREGON) MAIL TRIBUNE Thursday, June IS. 1930 Boys Wanting lo Become Firemen Offered Advice by Chicago Chief rhiMtn II Dl Thic ia fnr vnil Tommy, and all the other kids in the country wno want 10 ok liremen. fUiaf inthnnv .T Mi il lnnpv. ranking officer of the Chicago lire department, says uii guuu idea. iiruAn u iiifi a IWIIa nnv he wanted to be a fireman too. He used to live next aoor 10 a nre station and when the engines went by he stared at them and said, "That's for me." Chief Mullancy doesn't know you. He doesn't know what Vin,4 nf hnv vnu are or what kind of man you will be when you grow up. bui ne waum juu to do what you want to do and if you think you want to be a fireman, just don't give up. Not All Fun , , He wants to remind you, though, that being a fireman is not all fighting fires, or speed ing down a busy boulevard and making everybody get out of Chicago firemen, he says, are out of the station only a iracuon of the 67 hours a week they are And as for speed, those big red engines travel oniy hdoui miles an hour, on the average. Thaw ran snppH lin to 75 miles but the firemen don't take chances because 11 tney naa a wreck they wouldn't be much Hobo King Decides Enough Is Enough Pittsburg (U.R) Jeff Davis, "king of the hoboes." has decided "wanderlust is a terrible tiling." Davis, who has traveled mure than 3.000.000 miles, including six trips around the world, said he wouldn't do it again on a bet. "Why, I have to be introduced to my children every time I come home." he smiled. Davis, who stopped off here to visit an old friend, said he was in the best shape of his life, de spite 67 years. The hobo king is Grand Knight of the Knights of the Road and president of the Hoboes of America. Inc. However, he said his main In terest now is lobbying. "Nowadays, hitch-hiking is too dangerous for kids," he said. "So we are trying to get a bill intro duced in congress that will take care of the situation." Two Weki' Vacation The hill, Davis said, would pro vide restless youngsters with a two-week vacation at govern ment expense. Then they could travel safely and in style, he aid. "Hoboes are getting sophisti cated," Jeff mused. "We ride trains and buses and airplanes now. Of course, I have to get out on the road sometimes for the fun of it." In all his travels. Davis said he found no trace of communism among the "bo's." "Communism stands for regi mentation and you can't regi ment a hebo," Davis said. "Hit ting the end of a freight is real democracy." Republicans to Back Social Security Bill Washington, June 15 U.R Sen. Eugene D. Millikin, (R., Colo.) said today that republi can senators will give "almost unanimous support" to the so cial security extension bill. Millikin made the announce ment after a republican confer ence on the bill. "Without polling the senators," Millikin said, "it was quite ap parent that we will give strong, almost unanimous support to the bill." ' Milliken also said the republi cans are unanimous in support of a proposed senate finance committee study to see If sorial security coverage can h given all Americans on a strict "pay-ts-you-go" basis.

"Everybody thinks we go fast," the chief said, "but we don't. It's just that we're so noisy." The chief said all little boys who want to be firemen must eat what they're, supposed to and get plenty of sleep because the department won't take you if you're not healthy. You don't have to be very big, he said. You must be five feet, eight inches tall and weigh 145 pounds to join the Chicago de partment, but that isn't so very big. Smartness Helps You don't have to go to col lege to be a fireman, or even to high school. But you have to take a written examination and the chief will find out if you're not as smart as you should be. The chief thinks you should get as much education as pos sible hecause a dumb fireman will stay a dumb fireman and when his friends arc wearing pretty gold braid he'll still bo shining the engines. The engines must be shined after every fire. The salary at present isn't as high as in some other jobs. Chi cago's firemen start at $3,100 a year. But the chief said there's a lot of chance for advancement. And if you don't like being a fireman, you can be a police man, maybe. That's what most of the Chicngo firemen who quit end up as, he said.
