, Importance would be discussed. In
h cluded among those issues was final
, action on an amendment to the by
laws which raises the age limit of
persons seeking membership from
18 years to 21 years. The amendment
was adopted but does not have any
bearing on the members who are

firemens band and also discus
sion was had on the proposed trip

ton on the trip to Wilmington was
defeated.

reports, Chairman Johnson of the
Carnival Committee, reported that
net proceeds of the weeks enter
tainment were $1154.35. This years

the affair held last year. The COM
pany then ordered the treasurer to
| deposit to the engine fund $1100 of
this amount, which will bring the
sum in the engine fund up to $500. /
