It Happened This Way
New Pine Creek
Bjr IRVIN FABIS
"Right now!" says local enthus
iasm reaching the pop-off point on
, this Important matter namely:
that the New Pine Creek Rural
Fire Protection District plan for
immediate construction ot a new
fire hall.
A special Joint meeting has been
called by Fire Chief Clarence Mc
clain for next Monday night. Au
cust 16 at 8 o'clock of the board
of directors and the firemen and
onv other local citizens interested.
The purpose of this meeting shall
be to decide definitely upon the
type of building, the nature of the
materials to be used, draw up
plans for construction, take inven
tory of available funds on hand
and compute the total cost of con
struction. The meeting will be held
in the Warren Welch Veteran's
He II.
This course of action was de
cided upon at a meeting of the
firemen In the Vet's hall Ifist Mon
day night, August 9. Considerable
discussion ensued on what type of
roof would be most suitable and
most economical. The concensus of
a flat top roof with a gentle slope
to the back would be the most
advisable. The fire chief said he
would contact Dick Landruif, the
Davis Creek fire chief and secure
what Information he ccld on the
fire hall there which is reputed to
be first class. Others will investi
gate the cost of pumice brick and
report where the best and cheap
est blocks can be obtained.
The firemen have this premise
upon which to proceed. They have
the recorded deed to a lot. 26'-j x
192 feet, 9 Inches, which was do
nated to the district by Mrs. Paye
Keller Rose. It was donated with
the understanding that upon said
lot would be constructed a sub
stantial building that would be a
credit to the community. They
have on hand about 100 6x8x12 pu
mice bricks which were purchased
some time ago at a reasonable fig
ure (20 cents per' brick) from
Frank Ross.
The meeting Monday night fol
lowed In the wake of a board meet
ing held last Wednesday evening.
Since we are now in the dreaded
fire season the firemen accepted a
suggestion from the board to take
the fire truck on a series of prac
tice runs one each week until
every ranch residence In the dis
trict hall has been covered. ,The
purpose will be to see how soon
the fire truck can arrive upon the
scene and to remind each rancher
of the .necessity to provide some
sort of water supply with which
to protect his home.
Some water holes have already
been established on the map now
posted in the temporary firehouse
in Alvln Butler's warehouse and ga
rage. But these are not sufficiently
adequate to provide the best rating
for the district. Our present rating,
recently received, is a national
fire board rating of Class 9. For
general comparison it is poor but
far better than if we did not have
an organized district.
Our district, organized in 1949, is
bounded on the south by the Oregon-California
state line. It extends
northerly to the north boundary of
the Jim Snider ranch. The popula
tion of the district is listed as 204.
characterized as a stock
rasing community with merchan
tile facilities and a small resi
dential section at New Pine Creek.
There are no standard fire hy
drants in the district. Some creeks,
irrigation ditches and ponds are
available for suction supply. The
booster tank capacity of the
the practice should be resumed for
safely. lis makers recommend that
for the best results over a long
period of time It should be blown
at least once each day. Henceforth,
it no doubt will be blown each day
at noon.
Although we have no fire alarm
telegraph system 25 per cent of
the residents in the district have

Truly they are to be congratulated
on their efforts.
Chef Art Lenitelt is winning
quite a name for himself as a
barbecue specialist. Last, Friday
evening he and his wife. Hilda,
entertained a number of guesls at
a tasty barbecue dinner. Invited
guests were Mr. and Mrs. Lee

Mr.
and Mrs. Garland Cundiff. Mr.
and Mrs. Bill Haslett and son,
Billy of Willow Ranch and Hilda's
that an emergency fire call service
will be connected to the Alvln But
ler store and, residence as an ex
tension of the farmer's line. This
service is designed to provide a
two line emergency call service for
the farmers in the district in case
of fire.
In regard to structural conditions
and hazards, the stale tire laws
apply. There is no code in the
district. However, of all new struc
tures most of the property owners
are being careful to install elec
tricity in compliance with the state
laws with the idea of securing the
minimum insurance rating cost:. -
The conflagration hazaid in the
district Is mild due to the fact that
most structures are located on
large tracts of land with hardly any
congestion. The buildings are prin
cipally of frame except for the bus
iness section where there are a
few joisted masonry mercantile
buildings and a motel of pumice
brick construction.
In order to bring our district
up to standard the Oregon In
surance rating bureau makes a
few recommendations based upon
standard fire protection require
ments. These we must comply
with in order to further reduce
our insurance rating costs.
They are: that all possibilities
for water supply throughout the
district be developed and made
accessible for fire department
use. These newly developed
sources along with the natural
sources are to be placed on the
map and catalogued to show their
location with the available amount
of water during all seasons indi
cated, as well as ingress and
other pertinent data noted.
Also that a tanker be provided
for response to the district with
at least a 1000 gallon capacity
and with a pump thereon that will
pump approximately 200 gallons
per minute.
These are improvement angles
the fire board and the department
are now working on so that the
district can become standard with
a lowered insurance rating.
Truman Lawson has an old
truck with a 100 gallon tank on
it which is available to the de
partment for temporary use or he
will sell it at a reasonable fig
ure. But the district has no avail
able funds for such a purchase
at this time. It will require con
siderable jockeying of resources
and plenty of donated labor to
get the lire hall erected under the
present setup.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Deal left
last Thursday morning for a trip
up through the Yellowstone Park,
via Reno where they will visit rel
atives, Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Broiles.
Mr. and Mrs. Bill Parnow of ,
Mountain View, California arrived j
last. Rnfurrinv fnr n short visit I
with Mr. and Mrs. Bill Allen.
They were to have left Wednes
day morning for their home. Mrs.
Parnow is a niece of Bill Allen.
The Keller Feed Mills have
niece and nephew, Marian and
Paul Brocard and Miss Carlene
Scofield. It was sort of a farewell
party for the girls too. They lef
for their home in South Gate, Cal
ifornia on Tuesday.
But the party that capped the
climax of all recent parties was
held by the Willow Ranch firemen
and the firettes who spent the en
tire day last Sunday up at their
picnic recluse in Lenkeit park.
Chef Lenkeit had a hand in the
preparation of much of the meat
that was consumed.

The chairman reports there are

Since Midland Orange first be

Mrs. Smith said. "In our grange
there are a number of young

steps in the tower, and under the
patient instruction of adult ob

"breathes in" carries specks of dust and soot that stick to carburetor

a costly mechanic's job. Now "Detergent-Action" Chevron Gasolines
