Bfen speeding through the can;)
etreets In flashy red cars are ;>er^
haps in the sajne category as an
athlete nlajdng center on a foot»
ball team, no one oays attention to
the center until he either bresJo
a leg or ?nakes a bad pass^ the saine
holds true in regards to most fire*
men and fire departments*
Such outstanding works M the
following;, hov^ever, cannot afford
to be ^scured and therefore it
deserves a worthy story*
Frcwn the month of October to
the present date there have been 52
actual fire alarms, and according
to burly Fire Chief Thomas A. Jone^^
-rofessional fireman of this post,
the damar*e lost has bean estimated
ct C5.00.
The reason for such fine work
in this department is due to the
fact that the 40 firemen, 15 of the*a
esq^erlanced men from all towns and
cities of ?k>rth Carolina, drill one
and one*half hours four times a
week. The men are drilled undey
military principles and abide bv
military courtesy. They stand at
attention for an officer of the U.S
Service, and salute the colors duiv
ing retreat. They are all very
friendly and well cultured rasa
They give one the ijigtresslon of
bei^ real soldiers, even though
they are civilians*
A paragraph of their order
reads as follows: "Personnel on
duty as fireman v^le engaged in
fire fighting, will obey only such
orders as are given by the Command
ing Officer, (General Reed); the
Fire I'arshall, (Captain biuiam F
Ladson); the assistant Fire l^sh-
all,{l8t Lt. H.D. Watts, Jr.)j and
the Fire Chief*
TTw ladder-climbing men can
have water spraying in 'wo and one-
half minutes almost any place on
the field after the alarm haa been
sounded*
The men work in an orderly
fashion under the golden, rules of
Fire Chief Jones who haa been a
firenan for the last 12 years. Ser
ving as Assistant Chief at Fort
Bragg, prior to hie appointment
here. He served in the U.S* Marines
and upon discharge in 1932 he waa
awarded the good conduct medal
Uoet of his service waa rendered oa
Ouam Island and in the Asiatic 8t*>
tiona.
From Fort Bragg, he carried
another award given him by Ifajor
General Jacob L. Dever for si^erb
handling of a serious fire at the

STARS AND STRIPES
IN POST LIBRARY
A tattered, yellowiiv copy of
■The Stare and Stripes, ■weekly pub-
Uoation of the A.I.F. in World Wat
I* was loaned to tha Post Llbxmxy,
throu^ the oourtesy of pvt* B* II*
Weiner itio seoured It Atom Mrs* C.
J* NUkins, a Goldsboro resident*
The jisper,iihioh will be plsoed
on sodiibltion, is dated Not*22,1918
and was published In Paris* It had
a eiroulation of 400,000,and served
as the sols souroa of reliable in-
fomatlMi to enlisted sen and off -
leers serving in Burope*
The issue also bad the dliteit-
ion of being published eleven days
after the Areiiatiee* Featuring the
statement dated Nov. 12, 1918, by
Goonandar-in-Chlef John J, Pershing
in which he emphatically declared t
"The enmny haa capitulated*" the
issue fairly oossa of Armistice
talk.
But it doesn't ooze of sentim
ental desires to see horns at any
cost. It warns editorially agsiinet
the "hordes of Amsrican oivilian
sl^tseers" idio it expeeted(con>
oetly) to flock to Burope for a few
"second hand thrills." It warned
of the tremendous problems facing
the U.S.in "feeding the liberated
peoples." How familiar this all •
souixls today.
"The Stars And Stripes" had a
long list of soldier-contributors*
sho later turned out to be quite
prominant in civilian life. Aaiong
them was the lata Alexander Wboloott
who died recently* The paper isb^
ing continued in London currently *
end reports have it that the cent -
Miporary sheet ie as spri^tly

Believe It or not, we have a

of all that read them. The lad is
clever and wa mro proud of him.
We wish to correct an error In
this oolu» on Jan. SO. The Rebels
hall team was tha winner of a game
with a hoetio finish of S to 3. If
this isn't corrected, S/Sgt. Qox,
the sparkplug of the Rebel team's
victory will be deprived of all the*
honors that a conquering hero ia* ei^
titled to.
