Blazing Gas Fires'
Doused in School
For Firemen Here
A crash and gasoline fire fight
ing school, underway at the Med
f ord municipal airport for the
past three days, was to conclude
- this afternoon. The school ; is
being conducted by Battalion
Chief Harry Hargis, crash fire
Instructor at McClellari, Calif.,
air force base.
Members of the Medford and
Central Point fire departments
and the local air force, detach
ment this morning used foam and
chemicals to demonstrate extin
guishing and rescue work in air
plane crash fires. Earlier sessions
on Wednesday and Thursday
were devoted to the use of
spray and fog apparatus.
Gas Fires Quenched -
Yesterday the fire fighters ex
tinguished several gasoline fires,
each in something less than two
minutes. A bomber fuselage,
made available by the air force
for the purpose, was doused with
high octane gasoline as were two
oil drums, which were placed at
about the same position as wing
tanks.
After the "wrecked plane" was
set afire, various teams of. fire
fighters using fog nozzles at
tacked the blaze. The different
teams, all directed by Battalion
Chief Hargis, appeared to be
equally effective in extinguish
ing the roaring fires.
Despite the terrific heat gen
eratedby the gasoline fires, the
numerous blazes were extin
guished so rapidly that paint and
wiring insulation inside the
plane was only partly damaged.
A crowd of between 50 and
75 persons watched the firef ight
ing demonstrations.

attended. Art Kenton and . his

hop to its tunes. Refreshments
were served during the intermission.
Ernie Collier, past command
er of Camp White chapter of
Disabled American Veterans and
chaplain of the station's Vet
erans of Foreign Wars post,
shoved off Wednesday for Mis

to this writer and asked that
his thanks be extended through
this column to all of the people
of this domiciliary and the peo
ple of this locality who have
been so good to him since his
arrival in Medford a year ago
November. -
"Words can't express my ap
preciation," said Collier. "I hope
through your paper- that peo
ple will know I will never for
get their many kindnesses. It is
with deep regret that I take my
departure. I'll never forget Med
ford." Collier is colored. And during
his stay at Camp White no
member ever had more friends.
In his new home he will operate
a chicken ranch.
A correction: It was the
Eagle auxiliary of Medford, as
sisted by Eagle ladies from
Grants Pass, who gave last
week's dance.. This column had
it the Moose auxiliary. My
apologies.
Jack Lantzer has taken a dis
charge and will spend some time
at Portland. Lantzer is a World
War II veteran and served with
the marines in the South Pa
cific. He was the only survivor
of an action on a small island.

which is the only reason Jack
lived. Badly wounded, he par
tially recovered. He is totally

wounds. On his way to Portland
Lantzer will stop off at Rose

ter Helium, who is taking some
specialized treatment at that hos;

high Friday that Portland might
not have a bus strike next week

Portland Traction company's re-
. a m. a -
quesi ior a xo-ceni xare ana b
citizen committee proposal for
a 15-cent adult fare.
PTC President Gordon Steele
sajd the company would accept
the lower , offer of the citizens'
committee' and "the other condi
tions which go with it."
-Harvey Thomas, agent for the
streetcarmen's union, which has
scheduled a strike for midnight
Monday, said the committee's
recommendation offered a basis
for a fair, settlement and "puts
the company in shape so that we
hsve an excellent chance of ne
gotiating." More Indictments in
