Engineer Joe Mosely, whose signature “JoMo” is familiar to Seagull cartoon fans, takes time cut from his work of driving the ‘‘Green Hornet” to let the photographer ply his art. JoMo not only is clever with a pen and pencil, but he also expresses himself with water colors and oil paints during his spare time. He finds cartooning not only an interesting hobby, but a profitable cne too. He is a former cartoonist for the Stand- ard-Examiner and many of his cartoons have been published in “Click’’ and several other magazines. The number six figures prominently in JoMo’s life right now since that is the number of years he has been in Ogden, and because he and Mrs. Mosely have six children. Supply Depot Fire Fighting Crew Breaks Fort Tilden Drill Record Smoke-eaters at NSD claim not only to be the fastest fire fighters ‘‘west of the Mississippi,’’ but they have now extended the boundary line clear to the Atlantic seaboard since the fire drill clocked last week. NOTES From The Dispensary | It all started when Chief |Bybee read an article’ in |“Blazes,”’ a magazine distributed to firemen over the coun- try, about a record set by the Strictly speaking, this column |U. S. Army fire department at should be “NOTES . . From The Sickbay,’’ as that is the term the sailors and marines use. There is a reason for this nautical expression and it originated on board ship. Years ago, in 1799, an act of congress provided that ‘“‘a convenient place shall be set apart for the sick and hurt men, to which they are to be removed . . . and some of the crew shall be appointed to attend them and keep the place clean.’’ As a result, the place assigned was first referred to as a ‘“‘cockpit” and in later years designated as the ‘‘sickbay’”’ ... and that is the term used by Navy Fort Tilden, New York. The Fort Tilden fire depart,ment stretched 150 feet of 21% |inch hose, coupled it to the pump, attached nozzles, attached hard suction to the pump, coupled two lengths of suction, added \the strainer, started the pump, lifted water 15 feet at draft, and started discharging all in a total elapsed time of 66 seconds. The NSD fire crew took this as a challenge and, in spite of the fact that the altitude at Clearfield makes raising the water more difficult than at Fort Tilden, went through exactly the same drill in 60 seconds flat.
