death. Fircmen, doctors from the South
side Hospital, ambulances and fellow
workmen teamed together in the fortunate
rescue.
The incident shows the value of an en-
Urgency squad The various types of equip
ment, assembled from various sources were
available because the accident occurred
within the town. Had the accident hap
pened very far away from this center, no
one group would have had all of the equip

No one knows when through accident
the need VIII again occur. We suggest that
consideration be given to establishing a
rescue squad equipped with necessary APP
paratus The organization might be an
adjunct to the Farmville Fire Company,
or at least associated with it.

to the rescue Monday-a life was saved.

The several programs held during the

have enjoyed them. Old friendships have
been renewed and new friends found during

we trust, will be capstone in interest and
attendance during the celebration
Old Prince Edward County will soon
embark upon its hazardous journey for
another century. Its progress will depend
largely upon the degree of interest and
cooperation its citizens expend, just as its
present is the result Of the efforts of enter
prising and forWard-looking people in the
past. Progress does not just happen, it is
the result Of thoughtful people with energy
and detern naton. This is our challenge as
