COMMITTEE TO
MAKE CANVASS
Ask Citizens To Do Their Part
Toward A Public Benefit


Lambertville-The members of the
Fire Patrol will make a personal
canvass next week seeking funds
to finish paying for the public am
bulance which they operate in emer-
gencies for sick and injured. These
men are to be congratulated for
their industry and public spirit, but
congratulations are not sufficient
to pay "cold cash" in wiping out
the debt of some $500 still remain
ing on the ambulance. Nor will it
pay for gas and upkeep.
Up until this time the cost of
maintenance has been paid out of
the pockets of the members. Not
only that, but they have devoted
hours of their personal time in tax
ing patients to hospitals and in ans
wering other emergency calls. They
deserve the cooperation of the pub
lie at large, and it is to be hoped
that they will meet with liberal res
ponses next week when they make
their canvass,
Circulars are being distributed this
week which contain perforated
blanks at the bottom whereon con-
tributors may sign subscriptions if
they are not prepared to give
checks or cash when they are called
upon next week. You may have per-
sonal need of the ambulance any
time, and when that emergency
arises you will be glad you gave
your support to such a worthy en-
terprise.
