Dale Campbell who heads the Women's Auxiliary, introduced her several officers. Brief remarks of tribute were voiced by several for the unfailing, efficient service given by the fire department personnel.

lison for his ready help to the fire department on many occasions. Oakland, California, Fire Marshal Fred Carlson, now retired, compared the Ukiah department favorably with the larger service he formerly headed. City Manager Charles Keene agreeably told of his unusual meeting with Fire Chief Bechtol upon his recent arrival in Ukiah and expressed unqualified satisfaction with the fire department since he has become familiar with its activities. Mayor Lindbergh asked to be briefly relieved of his fireman status in order to speak officially for the city in voicing gratitude to the department and its volunteer firemen for their consistently loyal, unselfish devotion to the welfare of Ukiah. Lee Trowbridge remarked briefly on the critical situation now facing our entire country and pointed up the lax cooperation in civil defense he finds in some quarters as compared to the fine support given by the fire department.

Mrs. Harriet Wiles and her three small daughters brought the interesting party to a pleasant conclusion by presenting Hawaiian dances in costume. First, Ruthie Wiles, 9, and her sisters, Judy, 8, and Gloria, (who have each danced since a year and a half old) smoothly swayed to the music of Hawaiian Hospitality. This was followed by a Hawaiian number which means Newcomer in translation. The small grils' hands gracefully made the meaning of each song plainly understood.

Mrs. Wiles concluded by dancing to the music of the well known Hawaiian War Chant, using red and orange feather trimmed uli uli gourds to accent the steady, throbbing rhythm of the song. A SISTER ACT, in a charming version of the Hula dance, was a eature of Ihe enteriainment at the Ukiah Fire Department's dance Saturday night. The little Hula dancers are, left to right, Judy, 8, Gloria, 6, and Ruthie, 9, accomplished daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
