(Continued from Page 1)
conducted at Brayton Firemen I
Training Field near Easterwood I
Airport. The other courses are
set at various facilities on the
main campus and at Ramada Inn.
Chief Smith noted training for!
this week’s pump maintenance,
class includes rebuilding fire ||
trucks for the Rosenberg, White
Settlement and Iowa Park Fire
Departments.
WEDNESDAY night approxi
mately 3,500 firemen and guests
were on hand to see a specially-
equipped Bell UH-1D helicopter
swoop in to extinguish blazes in |
a burning automobile and a jet,
airplane.
Frequently, the chief observed,
firemen, policemen and medical I
personnel attempting to reach |
the accident site are detained by
traffic.
“A helicopter, however, can
simply fly over all this conges
tion and arrive on the scene with-j
out delay, as we will demonstrate
Wednesday night,” Smith re
marked.
THEY ALSO saw in action*
General Dynamics’ Dyna-Cat, a
remote-controlled vehicle capable]
of receiving water from three!!
fire hoses and shooting it in any
direction. The A&M school
marked the first time the 1,500-1
pound tracked unit had beenj
used to fight a fire.
The school continues through!
Aug. 9, with industrial firemen]
coming in next week and Span-!
ish-speaking firemen the follow-]]
ing week.

Premier Players
Set For Action
Premier Players, organized by I
the Aggie Players, will stage
“Ah Wilderness” by Ehgene O’
Neill instead of the “Cave Dwell- [
ers,” on August 22, 23 and 24
in the Fallout Theater.
“As one of O’Neill’s best, the ]
serious four-act play, possesses
a romantic tinge touched with
humor, but at the same time
stresses a point without preach-j
ing,” commented Robert Wenck,
director.
The play concerns a young
man’s struggle to reach maturity
in his society and within his
family from the end of high
school to the beginning to col
lege.
Cast members include Doris |
Bowden, Sandra Carter, Leslie
Denton, Georgia Dillon, Jon Han
cock, Read Pearson, Cors Simon,
Billy Smith, Dick Taylor, Tanya
Toler, Becky Upham, Bruce Wick,
Scott Wilson. Susan Cronk will
be assistant director.
Two parts have not been filled
and anyone interested may con
tact Wenck at the Fallout.
Organized three years ago, the
Premier Players gives teenagers
of the Bryan-College Station ar
ea an opportunity to participate
in theater work.
In past years, such plays as
Curse You Jack Dalton, The Bed,
Under the Sycamore Tree, The
Spinless Druge, and Harvey have
been presented.
