Harpers Ferry and Bolivar to Have
Fire Protection.

In response to a call from the ladies'
of Harpers Ferry and Bolivar, an en-.
thusiastic mass meeting was held in
the High School auditorium, Camp.
Hill, on Thursday evening of last
week pursuant to the launching OF
concerted movement towards the col.
lection of funds with which to pur.
chase fire protection for the two
towns
s Our past experiences have aroused
a fixed determination on the part OF
the ladies', not to allow anything to
stand in the way of ultimate success.
whether it be long-drawn-out strug
gle or quickly accomplished fact
This, of course depends upon the
united effort on the part OF the peo
pie of both towns, hence, we make
this urgent appeal to every citizen OF
Harpers Ferry and Bolivar, that this
important movement shall receive his
hearty and active endorsement. The
meeting was most ably presided over
by Prof Boyd Randall, who, after set
ting forth clearly the great need Tor,
fire protection, proving by statistics
the futility of attempting to secure.
equip and maintain a steam appara.
tus, owing to the prohibitive cost,
gave demonstration and explana-
ton of the chemical engine, and the
effect of the application of the gas
upon fire. 1t was conceded by all
present that the chemical apparatus
is the only feasible one for us to con-
sideI whereupon permanent organi-
cation was effected by the election Of
Officers as follows: President, Mrs.
J. Garland Hurst; sident,- Mrs
w. F. Hallam; Treasurer, Mrs. Chas
]. Cavalier; Secretary, Mrs Briscoe
B. Ransom.
Three committees will be formed
with chairman for each from Har-
pers Ferry, Camp Hill and Bolivar res
pectively, and active work will soon
be pushed forward towards the &C
complishment of this most worthy
object.
In securing fire protection we feel
sure thefcompanies in which the prop
erty holders are insured will speed
lily and materially reduce their insur-
ance rates, which are now, as we
all know very high We would be
pleased to receive voluntary offers
of assistance in any form, and from
any one interested in safe guarding
life and property in our old town.

n Secretary.

What means do we take to make il

Are our pavements kept clean?
Are the cutters in front of. our homes

If we have hitching posts in front of
our places of business do we keep the
ground about them clean and sanitary?
Do we throw papers on the street?
Do we think an unsightly pile of trash
in front of our stores makes our custom

ability?
Do we believe that street filled with

Do we realize that an up to date town
