To the Editor:
In the interest of the Y. M. C. A. Federation of Boys’ Clubs I wish to express my thanks and that of the other members for the fine talk given by Sergeant Morton of the U. S. Recruiting Station in the post office building, Fourth and Market streets.
A few weeks ago Sergeant Morton, of this station, gave a very instructive and educational talk about Army Life and habits. It included “The Life of a Man in the Army,” “The Purpose of the Army,” “The Man in the Uniform” and “A Day in the Army.”
Much enthusiasm and interest was shown. There were many questions asked which received the best answer possible.
The federation wishes to thank the staff sergeant and Colonel Jordan for their suport and assistance as well as Sergeant Morton.

“A TIP O’ THE HELMET TO”… FireFighter Jim Cusick and Captain Emmitt Smith of Engine 6, and Firefighter Ronnie Frank and Firefighter Bill Wickward of Engine 2, for the dramatic rescues of four trapped and unconscious children, performed at “all hands-Box #1227,” transmitted at 2101 hours on 26 March, 1977 for a fire located at 628 Willard Street. Professional teamwork on the part of all units, and fast extrication by members, resulted in the saving of three lives. Units operating at all hands-1227 were Engines 6, 2, and 1, Ladder Company 1, and the 1st Battalion under the command of Battalion Chief Ken Penn. A job well done. A tragic note: One child succumbed to injuries, following removal from the firegrounds.
