Harrington Firemen Have
Busy Session
The regular monthly meeting Of
the Harrington Fire Company was
held this week with President Lord
in the chair. A large crowd of fire
men were present and Chief Cain an
nounced the appointment of two new
assistants due to his recent appoint
tees being unable to give the Office
their attention. At the first of the
wear Chief Cain selected A. B. Par
sons for first assistant chief and
Norris Adams for second assistant.
They resigned and Lewis Slaughter
was named as first assistant chief
with S. NJ. Williams as second as
sistant chief. Both the new appoin-
tees are very active in the depart
ment and have missed very few
alarms this year. The first commit
tee to report was the Banquet Com
mittee, and after a lengthy discus
sion the company decided to aband-
on the idea. 1t was feared that the
company would be unduly criticized
if money was spent for banquet
when the firemen are trying to pro-
mote a building project.
The Carnival Committee reported
progress, they have selected the
dates from June 23rd to S0th, for the
annual carnival. They are already
arranging to advertise the affair.
Mr.. Fatsinger representing the State
Forestry Department was present by
request of the company and explain
ed in detail how the fire companies
are expected to cooperate. The
company unanimously agreed to aid
the department whenever possible.
The Building Site Committee during
the past month has looked over sew
eral building locations and announ-
ced that they deemed the best loca-
ton to be the present site which is
now owned by the town. They then
held a session with Town Council
and both bodies agreed to consult an
attorney of the town to straighten
out all legal formalities.
For the purpose of securing mon
ey to equip every active fireman with
rubber boots, a tag day was author
lied.

when they entertained several dele
