[Cecil Bearden]

My Dad talked of these contraptions that he saw when stationed in Egypt 
in WWII  He said the natives would have this lare can on the back bumper 
and they would slow down and stop and open up the can and stoke up the 
fire and then wait a bit and take off..  He also said they stopped in 
middle of the road and at night it was really dangerous..
