"Two elderly men were critically injured and about 30 people were evacuated from their homes in the San Luis Apartments, 4483 Lindell Blvd., when a two-alarm fire broke out on the 11th floor of the senior citizen's residence Thursday night. The residents - some semi-invalids - were rousted by firefighters from their 10th and 11th floor apartments in the center tower of the 266-unit, E-shaped structure. Bruce Harold, 84, in whose apartment the fire started, suffered from burns and smoke inhalation, and Harry Hoppman, 82, suffered from smoke inhalation, authorities said. Both were in critical condition at Barnes Hospital Thursday night. The First Alarm sounded at 8:10 p.m., and the fire was under control in about 40 minutes. The fire was confined to Harold's apartment, which was extensively damaged, while nearby units recieved only water and smoke damage, authorities said."

When Sgt. Robert Byrd responded to a call last week at the California Garden Apartments, 2918 California Ave., two elderly women pressed three checks, some paper bills, and loose change into his hands. They also gave the Lynch Street District officer a note: "Dear Police Mans," it read. "We are real proud to have your Third District for our police department...the California Garden tenants. God bless you all." With the note were two pages with signatures of 24 contributors who wanted the money used toward a policeman's bulletproof vest.
