gems in that territory what fire COM
! panies to call. J. E. Haddaway,
president of the State Association
took the chair and in his opening
remarks urged the firemen to aban-
don the method of raising funds by
magazine subscriptions, pointing
out that it is really the citizens who
contribute through the Levy Court
and State Appropriation, and thought
that this method would cause Mr..
Citizen to rebel against so many
demands for aid. The cause for the |
great attendance was the presenta |
ton of certificates to the tiremen |
throughout the State who had COM |
pleted courses at the fire schools
held in the three counties under the

cational Education. r. w. Helm, of
