Lace Work and Crochet Winners Named Harry Davis Jr

Harry Davis Jr., son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry O. Davis, returned to Fredericksburg after summering in Alaska fighting forest fires. The 19-year-old freshman at Southwestern University joined a college mate and spent 11 weeks battling blazes north of Fairbanks. Firefighting used bucket brigades and modern methods as fires, often caused by lightning, threatened thousands of acres and Indigenous game refuges.
