Ladson, SC (February 9, 2007) -- American LaFrance, LLC began celebrating their 175th anniversary year by relocating eighteen fully restored, antique fire apparatus to the North Charleston and American LaFrance Fire Museum and Educational Center. The museum, slated to open April 2007, is located at 4975 Centre Pointe Drive, North Charleston, South Carolina. On Sunday, January 14th, a convoy of twelve open, flatbed tractor trailers, many of which are antiques themselves, transported the antique fire apparatus from Cleveland, North Carolina to North Charleston, South Carolina. A crowd of more than 100 cheering spectators and American LaFrance buffs, eager to be part of this historical event, welcomed the convoy of trucks. The beautiful collection of antique apparatus, including an 1858 Button and Blake hand pumper, will be one of the main exhibits in the museum.
Saga of the campus press
Pablo T. Anido must have been a Renaissance man. A medical student at the University of Santo Tomas during the 1920s, he was also a writer, violinistand boxer. In fact, he went on to become the first editor in chief of the Varsitarian, the official student publication of UST, in 1928. The honor of being Father of the Varsitarian, however, goes to the famous Jos Villa Panganiban, for it was he who persevered in putting together the fledgling school paperwhich later won many awardsand helping ensure its survival. Panganiban was a linguist who later served as director of the National Language Institute; in 1972 he published the landmark Diksyunaryo Tesauro-Pilipino-Ingles. The other founders were Elizabeth C. Bowers and Olimpia Baltazar, a granddaughter of, no less, the poet Balagtas (Francisco Baltazar).
