WARRENTONT THANKS
HENDERSON FOR AID
Editorial Columns of War
rem Record Carries APP
probation to Firemen

Appreciation for the response of
the Henderson Fire Department to
their request for aid was expressed
through the columns of the Warren
Record by the citizens of Warrenton.
The Henderson company went to
Warrenton early Thursday morning
when fire threatened much of the
business section at that place.
An editorial said in part:
"Warrenton is also grateful for the
cooperation given by it's neighboring
town of Henderson, which, in re-
Spouse to a call for aid, sent a fire
truck carrying a pressure pump, sew
eral hundred feet of hose, and num-
Der of firemen here to give assistance.
Fortunately, we did not need their
services but if the fire had had a
little more Roadway, or if the local
company had failed in any way, the
Henderson firemen with their mod
ern equipment would have probably
been the only thing to save the Will
liams' home, the Jones home, and
other property of the town. Again
we say, Thank You Henderson,"
