Application of Schooling
These two firemen are some of the 1,600 firemen attending
the 31st annual Firemen’s Training School, which opened
Monday and closes Friday. They are putting into practice
some of the fire-fighting techniques they have learned in
their class work by putting out an oil fire with liquid chem
icals.
Dousing Oil Fire
Using a carbon dioxide compound, these firemen are show
ing another method of extinguishing oil fires. All during
this week some of the firemen attending the 31st annual
Firemen’s Training School have been practicing putting

Gasoline Fire Extinguished
Demonstrating that fast action can put out gasoline fires,

Vespers Program in All-Faiths Chapel
Special Service Set Sunday
A special vesper service of music
will be given Sunday at 3:30 p. m.
and 8 p. m. in the All-Faiths Chap

The service will feature a 35-

Bill Guthrie, director of the A&M
Presbyterian Church choir.
Bryan and College Station resi
dents as well as some from Hous
ton make up the'two groups, ac

have been under way for more
than six weeks in preparation for
the presentation, Guthrie added.
The services, both of which will
be identical, will be open to the
public without charge.
The vesper service will consist
of parts. The first will be the
playing of Corelli’s “Concerto
Grosso”. The number will be done

a solo group with answers to the
portions by the remainder of the
orchestra.

Vespers of Confession.” This
piece, one of two of its kind writ
