SOUTH CAROLIN* Maybe you’ve never had to call the fire department — maybe you pever will. But it’s a mighty comforting thought to know that it’s there, ready night and day to save you and yours from one of man’s mbst treacherous and terrifying enemies. The heroic work done by fire fighters in so many of the towns and cities of our Allies, which have, been showered with incendiaries and explosives, is drama itself. The job of our own fire men right here at home in South Caro lina may be less spectacular but it’s no less important—particularly to us. Yet most of us give little thought to this vital safeguard of our everyday Jife^ until an emergency comes along. There are 321 men in South Carolina whose full-time job is the protection of lives and property of the citizens of tKis State. These are the regular firemen— CLINTON BUS STATION East Carolina Avenue Telephone 59 but there are hundreds more .who are ready to do their share at a moment's notice, the volunteer firemen. To all of these valiant men, we of the Greyhound Lines pay sincere' tribute. We’re proud of these fellow-citizens— thankful for them, too. And we feel we have at least one thing in common with them. They’re fighting hard to improve the safety record of our State and so are we. In these tense and busy days, we feel that Greyhound, in providing safe, convenient transportation between this community and its good neighbors, is,, also playing its part in making South Carolina a safer, happier place to live. n GREYHOU LiNES
