held in the Opera House last Tues

vincing the people here that a Vol
unteer Fire Company would be an
asset to the town, was attended by
great number of interested men and
women who gave their best attention s
while the business was being car ;
ried on. The meeting was called to
order by F. NJ. Gum. Jr.. chairman.
Then the constitution of laws and
of the firemens of Della
ware was read by Lawyer F. P.
Whitney. of this town. This explain
ID what a member of a fire company !
las 10 do in order to remain in an
Incorporated firecompany.
From the town and community 30
men were selected to act as firemen. 1
They will met Tuesday night, May c
s3, to elect and install the officers
Of the Frankford Fire Co.. Inc. Also Q
the dates of the carnival will be set. S
We think to- have our fire fighting 4
on hand by the time the
carnival is under way. The kind of 4
equipment that is being considered u
will carry with il a large water sup o
ply. Such an equipment will be as Ii
Useful on a country call where there Ct
re no water mains as in town
where a water supply is at hand. b
We have learned from other fire W
that they have much diff u
Guilty when called to a country fire II
ecause of the delay in getting ca
upply of water on hand. We think
his will be an advantage, having al
Tater supply on the truck. m
We wish to extend our many 1T
hanks to the generous helpers who
ave already given us hand in get ma
ing a start. And you bet we'll not an
o back on any of you after we are tn
Quipped to protect your property. TO
