The FELTON, Community Fire Com
pany is just starting a campaign
for funds to assist their organiza-
tion in building a home for their
apparatus together with a meeting
room. Already circular letter has
been mailed to their many. friends
in the community setting forth the
objects of the campaign. Since the
installation of the water system and
the formation of a fire company,
the firemen have been advised that
the insurance underwriters are re-
rating the town and no doubt a
substantial reduction in fire insur-
ance rates will prevail after the
checkup is made, this is only made
possible by the more modern i'm
provements installed for fire pro-
lection. The committees heading
