"Quality First" ing program conducted at Bray- ton Fire Training Field. Eight rookies are entering the final week of the program. This is the first recruit school held at A&M and the only one in the state open to all fire depart ments. The class includes six Bryan firemen, one from College Station and another from Ennis. FTS Instructor David White, recruit school coordinator for the Engineering Extension Service, said the first class has done an exceptional job. The pace has been fast, White said, but the recruits have been able to handle every assignment. Members of the class will be questioned about the training to get an insight for the next class beginning Jan. 18, White ex plained. During the past week the men went through a “church raise” drill where a 35-foot extension ladder is held in place by ropes only. The firemen climb straight up. White said the drill is used to give the men confidence in ladder climbing. Such ladders are actual ly used by firemen to change lights in churches and buildings with high ceilings, he added. White said training during the past four weeks has included ladder work, hose drills, breath ing apparatus, fire truck pump ing operations, fire extinguisher problems, knot tying, rescue, pub lic relations and fire-fighting.

Parents given tips for safe Halloween I texas aggie AUSTIN — Parents can save themselves and their children much avoidable heartache by fol lowing one simple safety rule for Halloween, an insurance indus try spokesman said here yester day. “The number one threat to youngsters out trick-or-treating is still automobiles,” said F. Dar by Hammon, executive director of Southwestern Insurance In formation Service. “Another threat that has grown in recent years is the intentional poisoning of defenseless youngsters by candy given them by strangers.” Parents can help protect their children by making sure they are adequately supervised on their trick-or-treating rounds, Ham mond said. Either parents or older teenagers should always ac company younger children on Halloween, he said. Costumes limit the ability of the youngsters to see and the dark colors of some of these cos tumes makes the children hard for drivers to see, Hammond said. “For unsupervised youngsters these conditions can bring need less tragedy on our city and sub urban streets,” he added. Besides helping the younger set negotiate the traffic hazards of Halloween night, having an adult or older teenager along can help keep the young “ghosts” and “goblins” in their own neigh borhoods, Hammond said. “Records show that many of the intentional poisonings have occurred to children who ven tured into strange areas,” Ham mond said.
