Local Church
Celebrating
Anniversary
Plans Are Complete For
A Full Observation Of
The Founding Of Cal
vary Methodist Church

Calvary Church was born in a
tent and moved to a tabernacle in
1910. A new Church was erected
in 1912 on the corner of South
East Front and Franklin Streets.
Fire destroyed that building in
1861, and another Calvary Church
was built to serve the community
The first services in the new
building were held in the Fellow
ship Hall on March z. 1854. The
Sanctuary was completed and we
held our first services there on
March IT, 1867, with a congrega-
tion of $50 people.
Rev. F. Douglas Milbury, the
minister, came to our church in
1856. Before coming here he was
the Conference Executive Secre-
tary of the Board of Education of
the Methodist Church.
Our 50th Anniversary will be
celebrated by services for two
Sundays. On October both at II
a. M, DR.. John n. Link will bring
the message. At 1880 p. M, the
Rev. l.. E. Werner will preach for

Annual Fund
Raising Drive
For Fire Co..
Now Underway.
Active Solicitation Began
On Monday, Will Con-
tinue Through Sunday,
November 18th, With
DOOr-TO-DOOr Drive.

Garrett L. Grier, Chairman of
the annual fund raising drive of
the Carlisle Fire Company, Mil
ford, announced today that active
solicitation started Monday, OctO-
ber "a.
Up until 10 years ago, Milford
fire-fghters held a professional
type Carnival with goodly por-
tion of the money raised going out
of town. Then the idea was con-
ceived to put on direct contribu-
tion drive. The fact that for ten
years the drives have been high
ly successful, is attested to by the
splendid equipment that has been
procured during that period.
However, it Is always necessary
to advance and equipment and
building must be maintained in
top efficiency. These reverend
ing costs of maintenance. replace
ment and modernization, call for
the expenditure of far greater
sums of money than are received
via the city, state and insurance
companies. The firemen have but
one source from which to obtain
these large and necessary monies
the general public whom they
have served SO long and so we'll.
Last year the solicitation in ru-
raj areas served by the company
fell far short of expectations for
the first time. Chairman Grier has
stated that a special effort will be
made this drive in the rural areas.
Every piece of equipment that has
been purchased during the past
ten years, has been designed to
carry water to protect these rural
areas.
