MISS KITTY WOULDN'T
WAIT TO BE RESCUED

Raising an 85-foot aerial ladder to the top of a palm tree, firemen of Truck 27 are shown as they tried to rescue Miss Kitty who had been living in the tree at 739 South Ogden Drive for a week

    But as the ladder neared, Kitty leaped 55 feet to the lawn and raced away.  The dotted l-i-n-e shows path of the feline's leap and escape.  Miss Kitty could not climb down the palm because of the close-matted fronds.
