Fire-Fighting Demonstration
By PAT PECK
Feature Editor
A demonstration on the use of
fire extinguishers was conducted
on the banks of Oak Park Lake
for a group of 30 motor fleet op
erators attending the special insti
tute at the University last week.
The institute was sponsored
by the University Extension Di
vision and the National Com
mittee of Fleet Supervisors.
Presented by the representa
tives of two fire equipment com
panies, the demonstration was
conducted on .fires .of .gasoline,
propane and a mixture of the two,
A member of the Lincoln Fire De
partment was present to explain
tho cause of such fires and the
best method of applying the ex
tinguisher to put them out rapidly,
Good housekeeping was em
phasized as the best method of
'-preventing fires in trucks and
' In storage.
" Five types of extinguishers were
demonstrated by the equipment
companies: the soda-acid, foam,
Carbon dioxide, awter pump and
dry chemical extinguisher. A brief
demonstration of the carbon tetra
chloride extinguisher was con
ducted, but only, served to show
that this type is less effective than
th others.
The soda-acid extinguisher is
the type most commonly used in
campus buildings. The demon
strators emphasized the impor
tance of carrying the ext'n
eulshers to the scene of the fire
' before Inverting them. Pressure

ever since.
Cole didn't start singing pro
fessionally as a soloist until the
latter part of the 1940's. His
first record, "Nature Boy,"
came out in 1948 and became
the hit of the year. Since then
he has made such record hits as
"ftlona Lisa," "Too Young" and
slogan of "Phi Island Fling." the
Alhpa Xi Deltas with "Your
picture free by an Alpha XI",
the Chi Omega's with "Win,

with a sticky foam and smothers
the flame. This foam adheres to
anything it touches and may ruin
any merchandise it touches. The
action of this extinguisher is rela
tively slow.
The carbon dioxide extin
guisher is widely used and the
action is satisfactory if the
stream is directed at the base :
of the fire. This is a practice
which should be followed with
all extinguishers.
The water pump extinguisher is
practical because it is easy to re-j
charge. The water is directed to
the fire by means of a hose and
the pressure is turnished by a
double-action hand pump in ths
top of the cylinder. The cylinder
can be carried to the scene of the
fire and the pumping started. The
user can recharge the cylinder
simply by filling it with water.
This cannot be used for gasoline
fires.
The most effective of the extin
guishers was that using dry chem
ical. The chemical is bicarbonate
of soda, the same as that used in
baking, except that it is more re
fined. The chemical is harmless
to clothing or digestion. Packed
under pressure, the chemical
quickly smothers a fire when it is
released from the cylinder.
This exinsuisher still has a
couple of "bugs" in it. The
chemical tends to pack down
in the cylinder and to be af
fected by humidity, since the
extinguisher must be vented
Manufacturers are working to
overcome these disadvantages,
because of the speed and effi
ciency of the dry chemical as a
fire fiThter.
The demonstrators simulated a
fire resulting . from a ruptured
I gasoline tank and allowed the

Stan Kenton is a native Cali-
Kenton studied piano under the
strtet eye of his mother also. After
graduating from high school, he
played in every saloon and music
hall that would listen to him, fin
ally ending up doing radio work.
Here he got the burning de
sire to have his own band. By
this time he had formulated his
own ideas about the way music
should sound but unfortunately
too many people disagreed with
him. He did form his band but
it wasn't until 1941 that he be
gan to break down the walls of
mvsical conformity.
Kenton's band steadily rose to
the heights of stardom, aVid in
1946 Look' Magazine declared
Kenton the band of the year. Ken
ton labels his musical theories
Procressive Jazz" and now has
turned to presenting his music on
the concert stage rather than on
the dance floor.
Sarah Vauehan is comparatively
new to the music world since her
rise to stardom took place in 1947.
Her home town is Newark, n.j.,
where she began to be noticed as
a soloist in the church choir.
Friends encouraged her to en
ter an amateur contest at Har
lem's Apollo Theater and she
won. She soon appeared at the
' Apollo for a week with the fcan
Hines band and then worKea
with the bands of Billy Eckstine
and Johnny Kirby.
From there she went into the
night club circuits where she was
dubbed "The New Sound." She
has made such records as "Time
After Time," "Summertime" and
"I Cried For You."
