  The Midlothian truck, second from the right, is a 1934 Ford. After it caught on fire in the fire station in the early 60’s, it was given to the public works department (PWD). When I was in high school and worked part time for the PWD, I used it to test fire hydrants and spray weed killer around the hydrants. The kids loved to hang out on the back when I went from hydrant to hydrant. After I went to college, the truck was given to the Ladies Auxiliary. I lost track of it after that.
