WILDWOOD CREST VOLUNTEER
FIRE COMPANY TO BUILD
NEW FIRE HOUSE

The wildwood Crest Fire Company
has made such rapid progress this
wear past that they have to make pro-
visions very soon to get more room
both for equipment and men. To this
end they are working hard to get suth-
cient funds to purchase a desirable
location as a starter, and on February
oath held a pinochle and dance at the
Brighton Garden, which was crowded.
Everybody had a fine time. The dane
ers thoroughly enjoyed the music fur
nished by Buds Orchestra. A neat
sum was realized for the treasury OF
the fire company. The company is
looking around for a site for the new
fire house.
Invitations were issued by the Wild
wood crest Fire Company for a Com
munity Gathering to be held March LIST
at the Old Holly Beach Yacht Club for
the purpose of getting before the citl-
Gems of wildwood Crest the necessity
of getting new quarters for new equip
ment. and also meeting room for both
business and social purposes. The flre
company is in the best shape since its
organization and the company has as
MANY members as it's charter will al
low with a large waiting list. This
community gathering was a great sue
cess from every viewpoint. William
Aucott, the president, opened the pro-
ceedings by explaining the desires OF
the fire company for larger and better
quarters, also telling them what a
wonderful program he had in store for
their amusement, which he promptly
started to demonstrate by such an ar
raw of talent, both vocal and 1nstru-
mental, that has rarely been enjoyed
by the people of wildwood Crest, and
the most wonderful part of it all was
that it was all local talent. The num-
bers performed by Mrs. Harry Weir on
the violin were exceptionally fine. The
was as follows:
Ouartet-Messrs. Aucott and Unruh,
Mrs. Unruh and Mrs. Gillingham.
Solo-Mr. Unruh.
Recitation-Miss Murdoch.

During the meeting the president
called upon several members for short
addresses which were all we'll received.
they included Mayor Ralph Whitley,
Mr.. Middleton, Mr.. Scampton, Mr..
Pagan, Mr.. Campbell, Mr.. Runyon, the
ire chief, and G. l. Folsom, who in a
we'll rounded speech mentioned the
many improvements that are rapidly
developing in Wildwood and Wildwood
Crest, showing the necessity very
clearly for acquiring new fire equip
nent for the better protection of the
we'll built up sections and to
AXE care of all the new property be-
ng erected at the present time and in
he future. Mr.. Folsom impressed the
gathering with the necessity of the
needed improvements and the re-
,ponse since that time has been very
gratifying.
After the completion of the pro-
gram sandwiches and coffee and ice
,ream were served in the grill room,
after which a dance was held on the
1oor above and all departed declaring
t to have been one of the most enjoy
able affairs ever held in wildwood
Crest.
