FIREMEN TO LOSE

CLARENDON. Va, May AFTER 5

for completion of the sale Of Clarendon
Community Hall, the Clarendon Volun-
! teer Fire Department and all of its
equipment will be without a home
either permanent or temporary unless
speedy arrangements of some kind can

department and president of the Claren-

The fire apparatus has been stationed
to State Senator Frank L. Ball and
Lawrence Douglas, declared today that
he had promised the new owners that
the building would be cleared of all
equipment by 5 o'clock Monday and
that he intends to keep that promise.
Pending the outcome of plans for
a permanent building for the depart
ment," Mr.. Putnam declared, 1--WE have
hopes OF finding temporary quarters for
| the apparatus. but up to this time I
am al loss to say what is to be done
with 1t until temporary housing is
found. We have considered PROPOSE
tons for renting spaces in two garages
but the prices asked are prohibitive
Mr.. Putnam declared that officials
of the corporation and the fire depart
msnt are unanimous III the opinion
that the establishment of permanent
F: home for the departms mt should not
alone concern the people of Clarendon.
The department. he states, serves many
other communities of the county and
all of these will b. asked to contribute
10 the project. 1t has been suggested
that one building be established in the
community to take care of the civic
activities of the citizens association
and the fire department as well, but
this is deemed unwiSe by both civic and
fire department leaders in that the
board OF supervisors has announced that
it will shortly supply each department
with two ful1-time salaried firemen.
The board could not contribute to a
purely civic project, which the de-
partment would be if aligned with
the citizens association, it is said.
I'VE appealed to the board of super
visors for financial aid in putting up
building for the fire department"
Mr.. Putnam said. land were refused,
and now it is up to the citizens to
act. A building to house the civic
activities of the community can wait,
but we must get busy in finding quar-
tiers for the fire department"
Transfer Of the building involves a
consideration of $4,000. the new own
ers agreeing to assume the obligations
on the building approximating $1,000,
and to pay the balance in cash.
