Over 450 people came to eat breakfast at the fire station Saturday morning. “That’s a hundred more than last year,” said Fire Chief Jay Dee Downs. The the line stretched from the serving table to the door as people waited for homemade pancakes, eggs, hashbrowns, ham and milk.

At 8 a.m. there was a flag ceremony on the front lawn of the station. A guard of firemen carrying axes brought the flag which was raised in remembrance of those who give their lives to preserve our freedoms.

Can I drive? — Isaac Clark (9-years-old) has his little brother, Jack, on his lap trying to drive the big engine. The truck may not be moving, but Jack imagination must surely be taking him somewhere. (Dave South)
