Firemen's Ball Next Week.

-
Ball has been set for Friday evening,
May Is, in the D. B. S. hall. Tickets
are now being sold for this event and
all are asked to purchase now and
reserve the date.
The dance is being sponsored by
the members of the Askov CONNER
cial club but all net proceeds will
go into special fund for the use of
the volunteer fire department only.
The money may be used to pay for
the laundry service that becomes nee
essary in many instances when the
firemen soil or damage their suits
when called from social, church or
other activities to fight blaze; or,
special equipment may be purchased
for use by the firemen or on the
fire truck. In short, the proceeds are
for worthy cause, so full support
by the entire community will be
appreciated.
Music for the occasion will be fur
nished by Hanks Melody Twisters.
