    I remember watching an old 50s info film, I can’t find it, where the army had an asbestos burning contest. I can’t remember exactly why they were doing it, but it had to be done and they decided to make it a whole thing. People stood right next to the burning barrels stirring occasionally , faces full of soot and what looked about 50 soldiers sitting around cheering. I’m sure they didn’t make it to 50.
