Sank Centres fire department has
always ranked one Of the best volun-
teer departments in the state, and the
work done by the boys during 1908 is
most creditable, and a good share of
the credit is due to it's able chief.
For two years John McGibbon has
held the responsible position as chset,
and during that time he has faithfully
attended to the duties of the Office. and
it is through his good judgment in
trying emergencies that the work done
during the past year has been So sue
cessful. Mr.. McGibbon declined to
serve in the capacity of chief any
longer, believing that other members
are entitled to the honor, but he will
still be an active IN 'mber.
Geo. Fish, the newly elected chief,
has been identified with department
for many years, and possesses those
qualities which properly fit him for
the responsible position. That he
will attend to the duties and maintain
the good standard of the department
there is no doubt.
