by not only the ADULTS OF the
community but the children as
well. All day they were seen
bringing cards and flowers to
their beloved Rev. Patton. 1t was
noticed that he opened and read
each card without the aid of
glasses.
Rev. Patton is in very good
health and continues very ac-
tive. He can be found at his
workbench nearly every week
day and at church on Sunday.
Is Your Call Necessary?
Howard Boss, Fire Chief for
the CheSterland Volunteer Fire
Dept. reminds Chester residents
that the telephones for emerg-
ency and fire calls are for that
purpose only. When a call is
made on the fire phone either
night or day, this alerts four
people, these in turn call other
members of the Dept. When
these phones are used for other
than emergency purposes, the
lines are not open for any nee
eSsary call also unnecessary
calls are a source of trouble
to those who are standing ready
to help when someone is really
in need of it.
Mr.. Boss states that since
January /, there have been SO
calls made to the Dept. that
did not pertain in any way to
fire or emergency. He mention
ed a few of these as follows: ::
At 1:30 am. a call came
asking, "Does the County pay
bounty on crows?" One at
$50 pm, What time does the
dance at Chester start?". Others
where do we vote?", news
paper calls for election returns;
many zoning inquiries and COM
plants; One request, "Will you
come and shoot my dog?", still
another, "Our lights are out,
will you do something's" Other
calls complained about having
salt, cinders or the SnoWplow
on their roads. Still others ask
for road repairs. Some call and
make enraged complaints and
then hang up before an answer
can be given. Calls come for
the police and where to get an
auto license or hunting permits
These are a few samples. People
who make such calls show lack
of sense and consideration for
members of the Fire Dept. and
also might delay calls of those
who do need help.
Mr.. Boss also reminds that
when one does need the Fire
Dept'S. help, to call, give your
name clearly and tell where
you live.
