VltWa 15 minutes after the ell fur assistance went out n the district's radio, nearly 20 members of the 26-man district had arrived at the lake and begun rescue opera tions, . They were augmented by '. Jackson county sheriff's dep ; uties and the Central Point . fire department. This would not be such an " outstanding teat if it wasn't ' for the fact that underwater rescue operations are not a - part of the fire district's nor- mal duties. ' First Assistance In fact, it was the first time that the district had even as- ' listed in an underwater res- help for his son after he had fallen Into the lake. Hadley had one of his sta tion employees put in a call for assistance and he and Jim Scott, a former district as sistants chief and employee at the station, went to the lake lo see what they could do. Knowing only the approx imate location where the boy fell into the lake, Hadley had cott hold one end of a rope while he dove in the water for nearly a half-hour in a futile attempt to find the boy. While Hadley was search ing, men from the district and other departments had arriv ed and taken up the rescue at tempt. A doctor was present, and a reausitator was brought from the Central Point fire department. Well-Ceerined Rescue The men from the various agencies appeared to carry out a well-coordinated rescue attempt with divers working in shifts of two s. At 8:10 p.m., more than two hours after the boy had fallen into the lake, Allan Bishop, a district volunteer, found the boy s body In more than 20 feet of water. It was not learned until later that Bishop did not know how to swim, yet he trict's board of directors, agree that although this was the first underwater rescue attempt- In which the dLJrict has participated, there will undoubtedly be more. Hoover said there have been six or eight new ponds and lakes created within the 75 square mile boundaries of the district this yep.r. This brings the total number of ponds and lakes of all sizes in the district to about 35 or 40. Consider Hegular0eralie The district is giving strong consideration to forming a regular water rescue opera tion so it will be ready to meet future emergencies of this sort when they occur, ac cording to Hadley. An opportunity to form such an operation may al ready have presented itself. The Central Point Fire de partment has some available funds and has been consider ing the purchase of a disaster car to be equipped with such Items as first aid equipment. stretchers and skindiving apparatus. Although it is still tertatlve, the department has asked the district if it would share the cost of the disaster car, and it would be used by usiea in an unui-i wicr ica- Know how to swim, yet He both ripnarlmpnti ; cue attempt.

I The0fire protection district ' fci the only agency of its kind ' in the state to have a radio ' frequency exclusively for fire use. Each of the district's 26 volunteers has a radio receiv- : er in his home which is hnok ed into this frequency. The . district's seven pieces of , equipment, their headquarters at Central Point and their sta . tion at White City are also . connected with the frequency. Besides the volunteers, the district employs a chief, L. C. W.scnbce, and two as ' listanl chiefs. There is some one on duty 24 hours a day . at both the Central Point and ; White City stations, ; When a call goes out to one . unit or member of the ells- . trict, cWnces arc that most of ; the volunteers will hear it, and respond accordingly a: - they did lajt week. District Captain O Maynard Hadley, a district ; captain and owner of the Dcs- ert Service station, was work : Ing at the station Sunday : when Carl Tlmmorman came : there from the lake to request up nearly two tanks of oxy gen. Of Bishop s courage, Had ley remarked, "This shows something of the caliber of fellows we have for volunteers." Both Hadley and Claude Hoover, a member of the dis- To acquaint the viewing public with some of the lesser knofen aspects of domiciliary life at Whit City, the Jack son County Tuberculosis and Health association will feature some of the men who are ac tive in the manual arts depart ment, as well as a two-man combo, who will furnish music onlts regular bi-weekly "A d v e n tures In Medicine program at 3 o'clock this af ternoon over station KBES TV. Through the combined ef forts of medical, administra tive, and rehabilitation per sonnel, the veterans at the Domiciliary are taking advan tage of a "Planned Living" program, and finding new In terests and objectives iri the process. Dr. Arthur Anderson, chief medical officer, John Glenn, domiciliary officer, and Louis Realc, chief manual arts theraplifr; will appear on the program In an informaldis cusslon about the Doflilclllary, pointing out some of the bene fits of physical, corretflve, recreational, and manualarts thWapy. The Domiciliary h o u i e nearly 1,000 mft, most of whom are veterans of World War I, wl'h the next largest group being from World War II, and a (ew veterans of the Korean conflict. The Instal lation at White City Is one of 18 Veteran's Domiclllarles In the United States. The physical, economic, and social advantages of domicil iary life will be noted and explained by the panel. Hadley said the district has already decided to purchase two additional masks which can be used both in smoke and under water. These would permit rescuers to stay under water for much longer per iods of time than they can with the regular smoke mask. Among the volunteers in the district are five men who are skindivcrs and who could become the nucleus of a wa ter rescue team. The district is to be com mended for its efforts above and beyond the call of duty at Hoover lake, and should be encouraged in its attempt to create a regular emergency rescue operation. The Jackson county (Sher iff's office, which has had regular skindiving equipment for two years ano has two qualified sklndivers and three more ready to qualify, is not to be belittled, for they also did a fine job at the lake last Sunday.

However, Miller was informed a com plaint would be signed charg ing him with following too close. AgnJORED CARS Washington - Armored cars were used by the marine corps as far back as 1916.
