Camp Bradley News Camp Bradley, Feb. 19.—The fire bell rang early and late at Camp F-7 Friday. The first fire was ex tinguished before breakfast and was held to less than an acre. However, when the bell sounded the second time it was a different stay. The men had eaten supper and were lounging in the barracks, reading in the library, or shooting pool in the recreation hall, when Ranger David called for fifty men and two fire bosses to report to him at Oak Grove School twenty- five miles away. Six minutes after the alarm sounded, two stake trucks fully equipped with fire tools and a supply of water had pulled out and were on the way to the fire. As soon as these men left camp the balance of the company was called out and confined to camp until the fire was under con trol. Trucks were loaded and park ed in readiness for a quick get away; the cooks rebuilt fires in the stoves in order that the men might be fed on their return. On the fire line the men experi enced something new. A slow driz zle had started but instead of put ting the fire out it made every bush and briar a water container to wet the enrollees who were busily drag ging back smouldering logs, digging out burning stumps and felling blazing snags. Thirty minutes af ter arriving on the scene every man could have doubled for a dark- skinned Ethiopian but the fire was under control. At 1:00 a. m. Friday, the men loaded on the trucks and headed for camp. At 2:00 .a. m. they were enjoying a hot supper that had i been prepared for them. The square dances at Bradley are growing bigger and better. The ( largest crowd we have ever had was in attendance Friday evening. The girls were never more beautiful and vivacious and every Bradley man was a gallant.
