At the tire in Mr. Boyett's store last Sunday I noticed that the work of the young men who compose the fire company and who have had some training and experience in working their en gine and hose was interfered with by many of our citizens and the work retarded. I wish to thank all who helped in any way for their good inten tions, even if they were in the way of the regular firemen, but believe the tire would have been sooner under control if the tire men had been let alone to man age the tire fighting apparatus themselves.
