SMYRNA FIREMEN'S CAMPAIGN
FOR FUNDS CLOSES THIS WEEK

ed a desire to give but really can
not afford to. However, if you
cannot give cash but have farm
produce that could be turned into
cash, the firemen would appreciate
your leaving your donation at the
Fire Hall this week. Every little
bit helps. OF course if convenient
for you to give money or a check,
j. Fletcher Truax, treasurer, or
any member of the committee will
be glad to receive it and see that
you get proper credit. There are
only a few days left before the ac-
tive campaign will close and your
attention to the matter now is urg-
emily requested. But if it isn't con-
venient this week, your donation
will be acceptable any time after
the close of the campaign. Your
donation goes to worthy cause,
to aid our firemen who so willingly
volunteer their services to you any
time, day or night, when needed.
In as much as "the boys" are will
ing to serve you, the least you can
do is to give something. Our Fire
Company appreciates nightly
what you already have done. Help
them to make their goal"
Smyrna times., 1935-04-18

The Smyrna Firemen, who have
been conducting a campaign for
funds to help keep up their equip
ment, will close the campaign this
weekend. Not all have made a
contribution to this worthy cause
and it is hoped they will make their
contribution this week without
fail. The committee in charge: J..
Kent Sheubrooks for the town,
William Ellis for the country, and
j. Fletcher Truax, treasurer, will
be gad to receive anything you
have to offer, They are hoping to
see the fund grow to 100000 and
more but so far only a little over
$4,000 has been tuarned in. Even
six hundred dollars is short of
what is needed to carry on their
expenses for the ensuing year and
it will be necessary to give plays
and entertainment next fall to
bring the fund up. 1t is appreciat-
ed that times are far from being
normal and with many people
money is scarce. In a community
like Smyrna, it would seem that if
everybody gave, it would not be
hard matter to raise $4,000 or
100000. But many have express
