Best Decorated Auto Herman Myers, driving a Buick sedan had the only decorated automobile in the parade and was awarded the first prize. The Judges Judges of the parade were R. D. Myers. John Lenhart, Dallas Brown, I Joe McConnell. Joe Laurent and Orval Brentlinger. The music judges were: Albert Sellemeyer, Dr. J. Q. Neptune, True Fristoe. F. M. Schirmeyer. Mrs. L. A. Holthouse and Mrs. Dan Tyndall. Following the parade, the firemen prepared for the contests which were to be held on the city streets. The water battle was the last contest on the program, it being scheduled to take place between 4 and 4:30 o’clock on Seventh street. All Firemen Not Registered With Joseph Hunter, assistant secretary of the Northern Indiana Industrial and Volunteer Firemen's association in charge of the registration booth in the fire department room in the city hall, visiting firemen and delegates were registering throughout the morning and up to late this ■ aftefhoon. However, all the firemen did not register and several of the comitmies in the assooiatjion were not represented, either by delegates or members of their organization. At twelve o’clock the roster showed a total registration, including the delegates, many of whom arrived here last evening, of 268. Secretary Hunter stated that in the rush many of the firemen did not stop to register but that an effort would be made to secure their names before they left this evening. The city hall was the mecca for the firemen and members of the bands and the Decatur firemen did everything possible to make the “boys” feel at home. The. trucks from the different towns were parked on Monroe street previous to' the parade which was scheduled to start at one o'clock. Six Bands Here Including the Decatur G. E. band, sx ibands were here today for the big convention, they being the Fort Wayne General Electric, Bluffton Boys, Montpelier Boys, Berne City Band and the Portland Military band.

Music was furnished throughout the day and the crowd was kept in good spirits. Members of all the bands were in uniform. Five Trucks Here Five companies came here on their trucks, they being the Portland, Bluffton. Hartford City, Gas City and Berne organizations. Bluffton has a new six cylinder Stutz fire truck and it was attracting considerable attention at the city hall. D. C. Bennett, a representative of the famous American La France Fire engine company had a table in the city hall and was passing out the ' cigars to all who came in. A Steffen I truck, belonging to the Northville, i Ohio, fire company was also on dis-' i play at the city hall. It is manufactured by the Steffen Fire Truck company of Columbus. Ohio. Give Nifty Souvenirs When the firemen registered they were given an attractive souvenir by Secretary Hunter, the souvenir being a bell and gong attached to a red ribbon on which was printed, “18th Annual Convention Northern Indiana Industrial and Volunteer Firemen's association, Decatur, Indiana, June 20, 21, 1923,’’ with a large button showing a brave fireman rescuing a baby from a burning house. * The firemen appreciated them very much and everywhere a person could .hear the tingle of the little bell as the firemen walked by. —————— F. G. Duryee Os Fort Wayne, Is New President (Continued from page one) volunteer departments and industrial departments with industrial departmens only. There will be separate prizes for Volunteer and industrial departments, with grand prizes for final contests between the winning industrial and volunteer teams. In order to make it possible to hold in some of the smaller communities, a new method of raising funds suggested and probably will be adopted by the executive board at its regular session Thursday morning. A resolution introduced by the Bluffton Volunteer Fire company provides that in the future every member of all companies affiliated with the association be taxed $1 pqr annum for convention expenses. May Eliminate Water Battles That water battles, owing to the danger of injury to contestants, may be eliminated in the future from convention programs was indicated when a resolution was adopted to replace ‘this feature with “firemen’s golf," a game in which an empty barrel is tossed about with hose streams guided by opposing teams. This resolution later amended so as to permit one water battle between an industrial and volunteer company at the Fort Wayne convention next year. The association went on record as expressing appreciation for the splendid reception and treatment accorded the visiting delegates by the local firemen and citizens. The firemen decided that an effort should be made during the coming year to enlarge the membership of the association by getting other companies in Northern Indiana to join.
