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. The music was most
enticeing, being furnished by the

Card Of Thanks
Columbia, Feb. 21.—There are

sion, records as of January 31 show.
Stacked “card-deck” fashion, the
little cards on which the numbers
are printed would stand about 200
feet high. The commission requires
employers covered by the state act
to submit the number of each
wage-earner on their payrolls each
time they send in employment re
ports. Names are so similar in
thousands of instances that it is
not always possible to identify the
records by names alone.
