New Addition To Mil
ford Company Will Be
Dual Purpose Truck
Made To Fight Town
And Country Fires.

The membership of Carlisle Fire
Company this week has launched
it's annual fund raising campaign.
and all of the residents of the Mil
ford area will be shortly waited on
for their donations.
For many years the Carlisle Fire
Company depended on an annual
carnival to raise the necessary
funds for repair and replacement
of equipment; however, because so
much of the money raised in This
manner went into the Golfers of
Out-of-tOwn folk who put on the
carnivals for a price, it was decid-
ed a couple of years ago to dis
pense with this method of raising
funds, and all of the money raised
since then has gone into the trea-
sury of the fire company.
President Garrett L. Grier of
the fire company stated today that
teams have been assigned to the
Districts of the City and country.
No special assessments are made,
contributors make their own deci-
siOns on how much they will do
nate.
The general public is well aware
of how the money raised in the
past two campaigns has been used
all trucks have had additional
equipment and in intercommunica-
ting radio system that has proved
it's worth time and time again since
it's installation has been secured.
In March of next year a new
combination pumper and tank truck
will arrive in Milford. This truck
has been ordered now; the order
predicated in the knowledge that
the drive, with the 100%o cOBpera.
tion of all the citizens in Milford
area would be successful and tht
necessary funds raised. The new
truck will cost $1S,90000, of which
amount $5,500OO will come from
the Federal Government.
The new truck will have a 21
: H. P. engine, a 750-gallOn waite
tank and a pumping system cap
able of delivering $50 gallons pc

against wasteful practices that
might tend to increase the cost of
food to consumers or reduce re-
turns to producers.
"The entire food industry, from
producer to distributor, has given
the American people the highest
standard of eating in the world to-
day." Mr.. Burger said. "The aver
age family in this country has a
better and more varied diet and
spends a smaller percentage Of it's
income on food than do the resi-
dents of any other country. But if
we are to remain the best-fed ma
ton, we must continue to seek
new and better ways of producing
and distributing food"
Mr.. Burger cited three major
areas in which the industry should
seek improved performance:
1. Narrow the spread between
farm and retail prices.
2. Reduce waste and spoilage
of food.
