Fred Shoop I T'S A FAR cry back to June 13, 1917, but there are at least half a'hundred residents ot the Pasadena area who have the date indelibly impressed on their memories. That was the day Pasadena's Red Cross Ambulance No. 1 entrained for Allentown, Pa.

to form the nucleus of'ambu- lance-medical groups which served in World War I so effectively. Cheered on by a great throng of and well- wisjicrs, the 125 a i i young Pasadenans met that day at tlie Union Pacific station on West Colorado and headed east--the first of many service contingents which left that year to take part in "Uie war to end all wars." TALK WITH any of the ambulance boys who are still living, and they wili tell you the weather here that day was inordinately hot. "It was one of the worst hot spells ever to hit Pasadena," one of the veterans told me. Before the hot fepell reached its climax on June 15 or IGth, the mercury reached 117, an all-time record, -if we are not mistaken. Experiences of the ambulance boys, of whom Pasadena was very proud, make good reading just now because, starting June 16, in Los Angeles, the U.

S. Army Ambulance Service. Association will be holding its national convention in Los Angeles. Headquarters will be at the Hilton-Statler hotel, and many Pasadena ambulance veterans will 'fall in' when it comes time for the opening parade. JOHN LOUCKS of Pasadena, one of the trustees of the national association, says the association was formed to perpetuate friendships formed in the Ambulance Service during World War I.

National Commander this year is Rudolph L. Wilhelm of Bloomfield, N. J. and local members are looking forward eagerly to meeting many of their 'old Loucks was not in the original Pasadena contingent but. went from Pomona later.

He now lives here, as do quite a Tew others who have settled here in recent years. Edward A. Heflinger, 1834 Monte Vista Street, Pasadena, has been active in the national association for some time and is a member of the convention coinmittec, also formerly a national trustee. He keeps in touch with many of "the boys" by telephone and through correspondence and is never too busy to lend a iiantl when need, arises, "There Is no organization ot Pasadena ambulance boys," he told me yesterday, "but mem- bers of some of the four sections get togther.occasionally to relive old limes. Guess I just accidentally fell into the job of keeping in touch with the boys.

Cliff Clearwater, editor of the Pacific Palisades newspaper, did it quite a few years, and I helped him a little. When he died, I had the job wished onlo me, I guess." HEFLINGEK refreshed my memory as to the names at quite a few of the ambulance boys who are i i i in' Pasadena or nearby. He admits the list is by no means complete, and would like to know the nanies of others who still live here, fn the accompanying list, the men live in Pasadena or Altadena unless otherwise specified: Harold C.
