THE BEST EQUIPMENT The Orangeburg Fire Department used two pieces of its best equipment Thursday afternoon in a three-hour fight to extinguish a ceiling fire in the picker room of the Ten Line Ten-Ten gets answers for you. Call 534-1010 or write Line Ten-Ten, The Times and Democrat, Orangeburg Line mm Ten By JOHN W.FAUST Of The Times and Democrat Orangeburg Fire Department men were red-eyed and weary Thursday afternoon after being on their feet for almost 36 hours as two separate happenings kept them busy. At 11 p.m.

Wednesday, a tanker truck loaded with liquified inflammable gas, called Ethylene, accidentally overturned on the northeastern edge of the city limits on the grounds of Central Soya on John C. Calhoun Drive, causing firemen to standby in case of emergency and at approximately 1:15 p.m. Thursday, a call to Orange Cotton Mills on Middleton Street to fight an entrenched fire kept them working throughout the remainder of the day. According to Orangeburg Fire Chief Marion Inabinet, "The men are really tired. They've been going since yesterday.

First the tanker truck accident and now this fire." Inabinet said the truck contained a shipment of Ethylene from a Union Carbide plant in Virginia, bound for the Ethyl Corporation plant in Orangeburg. "From what I understand," he said, "the driver parked the rig at Central Soya sometime Wednesday night on a concrete slab, put down jacks and unhooked the tractor. He then went into town for something to eat and a room before delivering the shipment the next day to Ethyl." The fire chief said evidently the concrete slab collapsed beneath the weight, throwing the trailer tank over on its side. Since the contents of the tanker were inflammable, Orangeburg Police, firemen and city administration officials were contacted at about 11 p.m. Inabinet said he was informed that the contents of the tanker were capable of causing severe damage for a radius of 2,000 yards if it ignited and exploded.

Traffic was diverted from John C. Calhoun Drive from the intersection of Highway 301 and Bypass 178-21 and the intersection of Boulevard and kr a 1 in a waste machine short circuited. It quickly spread to the ceiling of the 30 by 50 foot room, feeding on cotton dust which one fireman described as being "just like a fuse." A fire wall between the picking room and the main section of the mill, which manufactures cotton yarn, prevented the blaze from spreading deeper into the structure. The Orangeburg fire fighters were hampered by the fact that there was only a six-inch crawl space between the roof and the picker room ceiling, and that space, they said, was filled with more cotton dust. Intense smoke prevented entrance into the room, and fire axes were used to break through the roof to admit water from high-pressure hoses to the blazing ceiling.

Other firemen directed their hoses toward the ceiling from the windows which line the street side of the building. The fire alarm was received at 1:30 p.m. and it was not until 4:30 o'clock that the firemen began relaxing and reeling in their hoses. Not all of that time was spent in actual fire fighting, however, as the firemen were on stand-by during the later minutes to prevent the flames from rekindling. A similar fire alarm was answered by the Fire Department on the afternoon of April 8 when cotton dust in the main part of the mill ignited in the ceiling.

Firemen, then, were able to enter the building and used saws to remove portions of See A On Page 5 Who wrote the song "Dixie" and in what year was it written? P. Orangeburg (ANSWER) The much-loved Southern "anthem" was written in 1859 by Daniel Decatur Emmett, a noted composer of minstrel songs, as a "walk-around" for Bryant's Minstrels. It was first performed in Mechanics Hall in New York. Later it became associated with the Confederacy, but it was not, as some people have believed, written as a song of the sec-cession, or a battle song. It was written as a gay, and lovely, walking-dancing number for a musical show.

How many rooms does the White House have? J. Orangeburg (ANSWER) 132. You didn't ask us, but we think some of the other info is interesting too, so we're going to tell you a little about 1600 Pennsylvania N. W. which is the oldest federal structure standing.

Its cornerstone was laid Oct. 13, 1792, and it was designed by Irish-born architect James Hoban. He sent in plans that won over those anonymously submitted by Thomas Jefferson. It has been called the President's House, President's Mansion and even President's Palace but early became known as "the White House" because of its sandstone construction and painted exterior and the name was officially adopted by Theodore Roosevelt in 1902. It is 60 feet high, 168 feet long, and 85V2 feet wide.

It is situated on 16 acres and that is expensive real estate! As now constituted, in addition to a 2-story basement, the White House has four floors with a total of 132 rooms. A VERY TIRED MAN Lt. Ralph LaFrance of the Orangeburg Fire Department was a very tired man Thursday afternoon after working almost 36 hours straight with no sleep after two separate incidents took place in Orangeburg during that span. Wednesday evening a truck loaded with inflammable Ethylene gas overturned at the northeastern city limits and firemen were on duty at the scene as a precaution, and shortly after 1 p.m. Thursday, a fire at Orange Cotton Mill on Middleton Street caused firemen to work in dense smoke and warm temperatures.

LaFrance, leaning tiredly on a wall at Orange Cotton Mills, could only say, "Man, am I tired." Mills, 150 Middleton, S. to get at a stubborn fire which destroyed the ceiling and which the firemen fought for three hours.

But this enormous tree is now dead. The lightning did not blast it, age did not wither it, and the storms did not damage it.

But it fell to thousands of little beetles making daily inroads upon its vitality. Not so much the great storms, but the daily parasites of moral laxity spell our downfall. Enter not into the path of the wicked. (Proverbs 4:14) BREAD OF LIFE (R) Cooyright 1971, Gen. Fea.

Corp. By The REV. A. PURNELL BAILEY, D.D. Consider the fact that most men do not fall from great blows.

Our downfall often descends from the little unexpected "parasites" encountered in daily routine. Let us turn our attention to any one of these weaknesses and we can usually master them, but in our weaker moments these parasites fail to warn us. Out in the Rockies is an example of what I mean. There is a tree fallen which stood the storm of centuries. One can discover where lightning has struck it more than a dozen times.
