now evident, they responded with
out hesitation. In the highest tra
dition of their profession, to the,
plea for help in the protection of
life and property. Thatnhis plea
came from a locality outside War

above and beyond the call of duty,
only adds to the burden of so great '
a loss. -.'''
We are deeply grateful for that
kind of loyalty and friendship and .'

of It. As we expressed in person

afternoon of the tragedy, our fire

unanimous thoughts of that host

which the good people of Warsaw
have in Rose Hill. .
