Hopes for Solution Are Dashed
(Continued from Page 1) recreation programs and other extracurricular activities. Seek Solution "Nobody likes this situation and we are merely trying to find a solution that will be best for the children," Henderson said. "It would cost far less than $10,000 to hold double sessions at Coral Gables but we would be sacrificing our educational program." 'U' Too Crowded Another hope that the upper grades could be housed at the University of Miami in a program worked out with the University's School of Education was blasted yesterday following a conference between Henderson and William J. Hester of the University. He reported that while officials of the school said they would be eager to have the upper grades there because of practice teaching, that the University is too overcrowded to attempt it this year. Dust Cited Henderson said that double sessions in school portables at the Elementary School would mean that the children would be subjected to the "dust bowl" playground condition that brought so many complaints last year. He stated that it was his hope that the portables could be moved and the playground area grassed so that the dust could be eliminated.

Fire Wagons Are Awaiting Retirement
(Continued from Page 1) way to a South Miami house fire. The building burned to the ground so it is still a pretty touchy subject around fire house as far as No. 2 is concerned. One Sided It seems like the bad luck has been all one-sided. No. 1 doesn't have a single black mark against him, not even a flat tire such as his partner had once right on Alhambra Circle. The two big old pumpers have company over at the fire house, but they don't associate much with this third party. He is the hook and ladder wagon (name of Ruggles, vintage 1922), and doesn't have much to talk about except the time he got a little girl down out of a tree or his annual job of putting a new rope in the schoolhouse flagpole. Ruggles isn't feeling so well these days. He has "hardening of the rubber" in his tires for which there is no cure or replacement. So he just stays off by himself in his own stall and thinks about the good old days when he used to be a dump truck. There are six department members who have been around for most of the 16,000 miles that the two trucks have accumulated between them. Lieutenants A. T. Kelley, J. Q. Hollingsworth, W. O. Wood, E. S. Scobie, T. E. Faison, and Electrician F. J. Neff have few complaints against the Ward LaFrance twins. They agree it takes quite a distance to get them rolling and just as great a distance for their two-wheel brakes to stop them. Also the two guzzle straight high-octane at the rate of a gallon every four or five miles; tires cost over $100 apiece; the wooden wheels threaten to give way; but their loyal supporters point out that the pumpers have always been ready to go when the gong has sounded. Lasted Well Considering that they both carry approximately 1500 pounds of extra weight, the firemen feel that the equipment has lasted remarkably well. Addition a few years ago of a 750 gallon water tank and extra hose accounts for the overloading. Firemen declare there isn't a great deal of difference between the old trucks and the new one on order. Hose carrying and pumping capacity is almost the same. The new truck will have more horsepower, air brakes, centrifugal force pump, and other new gadgets, but where the old trucks started pumping by the push of a lever and the opening of a valve or two, the new one has all kinds of knobs and handles to push or twist, according to Lieutenant Scobie. Although the new Mack pumper isn't expected until sometime this fall, old No. 1 and No. 2 had a big thrill a couple of weeks ago when a big, shiny, new fire truck pulled up in front of the firehouse and stopped. They thought for a minute that the new recruit had arrived, but it turned out to be only a demonstrator model that a local automobile dealer had just received. It was a disappointment in a way, but fall isn't far off, and after 22 years of loyal service they can wait a little while longer. Until they get relieved you can bet they'll be there on the job. Next time you pass the firehouse take a look and see if they're not.
