CENTRAL FALLS
FIRE VETS. READY
FOR BIG MUSTER

The members OF the Central Falls Vet
eran F'iremen's association are all ready
for tho big muster which is TO DO held
In Providence on Thursday and Il In ex-
will be the largest crew for the old Vol
unteer that has ever been taken out Ono
OF the special reasons why tho local or
ganization is desirous OF making a good
showing Is the fact that the president Of
the New England States Veteran Fire
mems league. under whose auspices the
muster Is being held. is one OF the charter
members OF the Central Falls association
President Barber has for many years
been a hard worker for the local associa-
tion. He was its captain In the days
when IL won its greatest number Of
prizes, and there has never been an i'm
portant matter come up In the organiza-
tion without his taking an active inter-
est In H. Very early IN the organization
OF the league he was elected a representa-
tive to that central body and for some
years now he has been one of its most
active members.
lie has always been a member of the
muster committee and at the last cleo
tion his activities were recognized by his
election to the head OF the organization.
II is especially fitting that this should
have occurred this year, because this is
the first time the big muster has ever
been held in this state and IL Is quite
satisfactory that there should be a Rhode
Island man at the head of II. especially
as Mr.. Barber is the only Rhode Islander
that has ever held the office.
The local vets will probably turn out
with more than $50 men and they are out
after some OF the prizes.
