WEDNESDAY, JULY 9, 1975
Firemen’s training schools beginning July 20
Details are being tied together for
the Firemen’s Training Schools at
TAMU starting July 20.
r Three consecutive one-week
training periods open with the 46th
Municipal Firemen’s Training
School July 20-25. An industrial
school is planned for July 27 to Aug.
■si.
It will be followed Aug. 3-8 by the
Firemen’s Training School for
Spanish-speaking firemen. Run
ning concurrently with the Spanish
school this year will be the sixth
Municipal Inspectors Training
School. The programs involve coor
dinating training programs, and
providing facilities and housing for
more than 4,500 participants.
«Chief Henry D. Smith and the
Elderly
getting
bus rides
I Elderly persons needing trans
portation in the Rio Grande Valley
tare now finding some of their needs
answered through a Department of
t Health, Education and Welfare pro
ject which involved TAMU.
| TAMU’s Safety Education Prog
ram, headed by Dr. Jack Weaver,
responded last spring to a request to
train a dozen bus drivers from all
over South Texas.
f| The drivers were briefed not only
on handling their 42-seat vehicles
i|>ut also on coping with special as-
H>ects of elderly riders.
I The program and its results are
now getting a close evaluation by
| HEW and the Governor’s Commit-
||tee on Aging.
Reports of success in the pro-
;ram, notes Weaver, have stirred
interest in expanding it. Approval of
such expansion could mean another
100 drivers being trained at TAMU
over a two-year period.
Meanwhile, elderly citizens from
the Valley communities have had a
little easier time getting around.
Since many of the riders are
Spanish-speaking, the drivers are
I usually bilingual.
PV wheat
crop plowed
for science
PVAMU’s first wheat crop of a
three-year effort aiding the National
Aeronautic and Space Administra
tion (NASA) remote sensing project
has been plowed under and the field
prepared for winter wheat.
The crop is part of a project that is
helping NASA fine-tune its satellite
images of wheat during three daily
fly-overs.
' PVAMU researchers help
[' monitor conditions locally and pro
vide information to NASA, which in
turn uses the data to adjust the im
ages from the satellite.
From such adjustments, future
satellites may be able to tell what
[ crops are growing where and how
| they are doing.
Preliminary plans call for an Oc-
Firemen’s Training Division staff
bring the elements together. A re
gistration figure of 1,600 for the
Municipal Firemen’s Training
School is anticipated.
Chief Smith expects each of the
fire schools to have enrollment in
creases of 150 or more.
Participants in the 18 municipal
school courses will come from work
in fire prevention, control and
safety, from large paid and small
volunteer departments, industries
and the armed services.
Courses will range from three
levels of firefighting to five in fire
prevention. Also courses in instruct
ing fire subjects and disaster rescue
training will be offered. Most of the
firemen will receive classroom in
struction during the week.
Demonstrations in fire fighting
techniques will be carried on at the
Brayton Firemen’s Training Field,
south of Easterwood Airport.
Participation figures include in
structors, equipment manufactur
ers and visitors, “because this is a
working conference,’’ Smith said.
Instructors will come from large
paid organizations and volunteer
departments. Smith noted. They
become instructors “based on their
expertise in an area,” he said.
The TAMU school does not train
firemen from large city depart
ments, which conduct their own
training programs. A Wednesday
demonstration and discussion of
new equipment, chemicals and
techniques, enables the instructor
to provide better service for his de
partment.
The 1975 schools will use about
$280,000 in consumables, fuels,
chemicals, surfactants and powders.
All are donated. Much of the
equipment also is provided free by
departments, agencies and man
ufacturers.
“No place else in the world can
manufacturers get such exposure
and publicity for their products,”
Smith said. “The participant sees
them and uses them himself. The
truck, nozzle and chemicals he
handles bear the name of the maker,
and they are in the hands of the
potential client. ”
He noted that participation af
fects a city’s insurance key rate, but
“more and more we are getting
firemen who want the training for
training’s sake.
“A greater savings to a commun
ity than the key rate credit is in the
reduction of local fire losses,’’ he
said. “This is brought about by the
use of efficient firefighting methods
and fire prevenbon measures taught
and emphasized during the school.
Smith noted that many visiting
firemen are housed on campus, but
they also employ local motel and
hotel accommodations. Numerous
firemen bring their families and re
side in apartments on a special
one-week arrangement.
I tober planting of the field that was
§ plowed under this week.
Researchers believe that aside
from the value of the work to NASA,
the project will yield valuable in
formation on the actual growth pro
cess of the wheat.
Researchers
;
on 4-week dig
at Ft. Richardson
TAMU researchers are in the
1 field at Ft. Richardson State Park
| near Jacksboro on a four-week pro-
f ject requested by the Texas Parks &
Wildlife Department.
The TAMU team has been asked
to locate sites of the old fort’s
kitchen, enlisted men’s barracks
and parade ground. The fort in
North Central Texas was estab
lished in 1867 and abandoned about
11 years later.
Directing field work is Dr. Bruce
Dixon, who joins the anthropology
faculty as an assistant professor this
fall. He comes to TAMU from the
University of Tennessee.
Also in the field are Ed Baxter,
archaeologist, and students Tom
Stearns, Ricky Wilson and Karen
Smith.
Findings of the team may be used
for future restoration of the build
ings. Several structures have al
ready been rebuilt.
A base for the 4th and 6th
Cavalry, Ft. Richardson was drawn,
due to its location and a visit by
Gen. William Tecumseh Sherman,
into events surrounding one of the
better-known Indian battles, the
Warren Wagon Train attack.
The incident also involved Indian
hunter Gen. Ranald McKenzie and
Kiowa chiefs Big Tree, Satanta,
Satank and Kicking Bird who were
later arrested.
During its heyday. Ft. Richard
son was one of the largest in Texas.
