"this is jupt another sample of
the unselfish spirit and kind
hearts that the people of Bren-
ham have!”

for a three-year term as trustee

men’s Pension and Relief Admin,
istration. Other members of the
board are Max Ginzel,^wo years;
Oscar Hoffmann, one year.
One application for membership
was presented and referred to a’
committee for investigation.
Secretary Hoffmann's remarks
follow: • ------ . '
Fire departments are organized,
primarily to fight fires. Knowing
this, we assume certain obliga-
tions when we join the organiza-
tion, whenever we violate, or fail
to meet these obligations, we im-
pose upon the other members,
more pr less.
Fires can not be fought by-long
distance or television, but have to
be fought on the- spot where they
occur and we be there in person.
Also: to fight fires efficiently we
have,Jo. be efficient ourselves. It
is therefore very necessary that
we attend fire drjlls regularly-
about fire fighting and handling
the equipment, only to realize how
little we do know, or' now much'
w< have forgotten, when put to
a real test.
Having our names on the mem-
bership roll, pr attend meetings,
fires, etc. only when it ouits our
convenience, is not enough and
not fulfilling our obligations, but
should aim to create a »ort of
competitive spirit in all of our ef-
forts. ? .
I feel that strict laws and reg-
ulations are out of place In a vol-
unteer fire department. The spi-
rit of adventure in subduing a
common enemy and the love for
this sort of scrvlbes should govern
the action of all members In so
far as participating in al! such
activities, is concerned.
