Description
Photograph was edited for publication purposes
Photograph caption dated February 15, 1964 reads, "White-coated ambulance attendants rush into a bar or restaurant on an errand of mercy and have some clown mistake them for waiters or bus boys. It happened so many times that something had to be done. Now the Valley's 50-man fire department rescue corps is having special shoulder patches attacked to uniform shirts and jackets. Dale Gates, shown here, is wearing one of the first. Our paramedical men will now be properly identified as city officials doing emergency work, and hopefully will not be asked to serve a drink or hurry a sandwich." Note: Mr. Gates is pictured on the right.
