Appreciation.

We feel very grateful to the NUM-
cipal officers and the Skowhegan Fire
apartment for responding so
promptly and effectively to our call
for aid on Saturday afternoon of last
week, at the Herrin Mountain forest
fire. The condition at the time we
telephoned for the alarm to be gwen
was desperate and had they not come
as promptly as they did, there is no
knowing what damage might have
been done to our lands and all others
in that section of the town. Their
readiness in responding and their
energy in getting to scene of the fire
deserves our praise with that of the
entire community.
