ANNUAL BALL OF FIREMEN ON SATURDAY

Tomorrow night Saturday in the Elks' Ballroom, the members of the Juneau Volunteer Fire Department will give their annual ball. This is the 38th annual affair and the pub lie is invited not only to attend the ball but to purchase tickets.
 The Fire Department of Juneau is volunteer organization, one of the best in the country. Members are paid by the fire" and receive no other compensation. They re- ceive S1 for answering a call and $2 if the water is turned on If the members ruin their clothes in fire, it is just too bad, for them, they are the losers.
 The Fire Department sponsors practically all out-of- doors sports and for that purpose have purchased and maintain the Firemen's Base ball Park where baseball, track and other sports are held.
 The firemen are on call at any old time, in sunshine rain or wintry weather, day or night They are employed in various pursuits but the minute the alarm is sounded, they're off to the scene of the blaze.
 Several of the firemen have their quarters in the departments club rooms in the City Hall in order to be ready, especially for night calls, while others in their homes in var ious parts of the city, arouse them selves, hurry into their turnout suits and make all haste to the fire scene.
 There is a good system main tained in alarms, Certain firemen go to the blaze while others go on duty at the fire hall in case a sec ond alarm is sounded and one of the other fire trucks must be manned.
 Incidentally, when the alarm 2-9 sounds, which is the fire department headquarters, members might be called upon to give assistance to a fire outside of the city limits, scale a mountain for a trapped climber, or go in search of someone missing.
 It's a great life-this volunteer firemanship and tomorrow night the public may give financial assist ance to this greatest of hazardous public organizations.
