zens went to Chambersburg on
Thanksgiving Day to attend a fair
being held there by the Junior Hose
and Truck Company No. ?. 1t was
expected that about a hundred firemen
would re the least number tn go. but
the extreme cold weather had the
effect of keeping many at home. The
bows were given a cordial welcome by
the firemeu of that place, and it has
caused a closer friendship to exist be
tween the fremen of that and this city.
We hope soon to see the day when the
departments Johannesburg Hagers-
town, Winchester and Martinsburg
will see that it is to the interest Of
each to hold a closer friendship and
lend their aid in helping each other
in any way they can. Our boys pre-
sented the Cham bersbulg company
with an onyx. top brass stand. Mr..
Henry Gaver made the presentation
