The need of greater interes t in thefire company was s tressed
this weekby Drive Chairman F. C. Patten, whosaid:
"The campaign for volunteer members o f f ir e company is
lagging, dueto a lack of understanding among theres idents . Only
$3 is required as acontribution of the 1000 members whoare needed.
To date t he re arc only555 members. The thermometer at thecorner
of Forest and Haverford avenues i s s ti1l too low for comfort
.
"It should be borne in mind thatthe volunteer fire department
savesthe taxpayers seven or eight t imes theamount of their $3 a y
ea r dues. Ift he c om pa ny wer e paid, the t ax r at ewould have
to be raised considerablyhigher.
"An act ive f ireman gives up from$150 to $200 w or th of his ti
me ever yyear; a contributing member is askedfor only a negligible
part of thatamount.
"The volunteers protect your homes, -they reduce the fire, and
also t he

and faithful, r e - , . , Iliable safeguard against fire, protect-
