Show TOWNS ADVERTISE THEIR FIRE DEPARTMENTS I R, We were recently commissioned by the Chamber of Com-y,nerce Com-y,nerce to write to various other cities and secure folders from them advertising their communities and counties. To .''is, an interesting thing about these folders is that towns About our size and larger, feature the fact that they have .Excellent fire departments and trained personnel. '' The fact that these communities use space on these Solders, when there is very little available to tell of the features fea-tures they desire advertised, goes a long way to prove that .hey consider a fire department to be a valuable addition to heir well being. At the present time the American Legion and Auxiliary H ,re carrying forward a campaign to secure funds for a mod-:i mod-:i rn fire department for this city, They report that they Ijave found many people only too anxious to help people ho are appreciative of the great work that they are doing. "n the other hand they have run into a few citizens who eem to resent it that there is a group in town who is will-tig will-tig to give its time and effort, as well as its own money, to ecure this much needed equipment. r Those in charge of this drive have had plenty to dis-jurage dis-jurage them. We believe that it is time that the civic roups, officials, clubs and other organizations got behind iem' to help put this drive over. We can't afford to let ais drop when it has been carried this far. St. George must ave this apparatus before we have a serious fire. It will j lot harder to pay for it then let's get it now ! n |
