YEAR'S WORK OF FIREMEN'S UNION Accomplishments of West Shore Body Shown in Committee Report New Cumberland, Pa., July 10. — Extension of the transfer limit from West Fairvlew square to Enola, making a universal system of trans fers over all five-cent lines of the Valley Railways Company, was a new step of the West Shore Firemen's Union in monthly session here last night. A committee was appointed to meet with officials of tho Valley Railways Company and report at the next meeting. If the company does not grant the request the union In tends to go before the Public Serv ice Commission to get the transfer limit extended. The Union last year was successful in securing transfers for all towns except Enola through the Public Service Commission. On the committee are: J. H. Germeyer, Camp Hill; L. L. Hammacker, Le moyne, and William Reed, New Cum berland. The Union appointed a committee to formulate plans to take caro of families of the Union members who are called to the colors. After a long discussion the Union decided that some means should be devised to take care of the families and the committee was appointed to work out this plan and report at the next meeting. On the committee are: L. L. Hammacker. Lemoyne; J. G. Sheaffer, Wormleysburg; Dr. Sig mund. Camp Hill; W. H. Wilson, New Cumberland; H. H. Way, Enola, and J. Libhart, Midway. A report of the poor condition of the road in West Fairview between the Northern Central railroad bridge and the northwestern boundary of the borough of West Fairview, was made to the Union. The secretary was authorized to bring the condition of this street to the attention of the West Fairview Council and the State Highway Department. George Wilson, of New Cumber land, a delegate from the local fire company, to the Cumberland Valley Firemen's Association convention at Hagerstown, reported op the session and advised all fire companies to appoint delegates to this association for the next convention. A summary of the accomplish ments of the West Shore since its organization, a little more than a year, compiled by a special commit tee, was accepted by the Union last night. The committee is composed of E. R. Hammacker, Ira Shaull, J. G. Shaeffer and J. S. Cummings. Among the many accomplishments of the Union since its organization are: First, at a meeting April 10, the Union was notified that the Riv erton Consolidated Water Company would fix the rate for plug service at S2O per year and install plugs without cost. Hferetofor.e the bor oughs were compelled to pay the cost of installation. Second. Through the efforts of the Union borough councils and town ships have improved the roads all over the West Shore. Third. The Valley Railways Com pany followed out the Union's re quest to make several stops in Enola for the safety of passengers.! Fourth. Securing transfers for the entire West Shore not including Enola, after a long contested fight through the Public Service Commis sion was probably the most remark able accomplishment of the Union as this company had not granted transfers for years. Fifth. The Union recommended uniform traffic regulations for all West Shore towns which the council adopted immediately. Sixth. The Union took an active part in the Central High school for the West Shore and was successful in securing a large vote in favor of the move in several of the boroughs. Seventh. The Valley Railways Company changed the plans of dis charging passengers at the west end of the bridge. Instead of leaving the passengers alight between the car tracks ,the company at the request of the Union now discharges pas sengers at the opposite side of the cars. The Union is now working on a plan submitted by the Bell Telephone Company for a uniform telephone system for summoning companies from all West Shore towns in the case of fire. The committee appoint ed in this work at the meeting last night reported progress.

I Look on Page 3 For Additional Store News i BELL 1991—2356 UNITED Jars and Evaporators With a nation-wide interest in the preservation of food, and ab normal labor conditions, the home-canning . specialists urge every housekeeper to save bottles, especially wide-necked ones, for putting up fruits, pre serves, jellies, jams and fruit juices. The saving of bottles is highly important, as there threatens to be a serious shortage of regular jars and preserving cans. A-great many of the carriers in which package goods have been distributed can be used for this purpose, and the contents will be safe if the corks or paper tops are supplemented by the use of paraffine. If containers are scarce locally, those in stock should be used to preserve perishable products which have the highest nutritive value. Nothing should be packed in jars or cans which can be con served effectively in other ways. Much of the food which is usuallt put up in cans or jars could Tie dried in an evaporator, with a decided saving in time, strength and fuel. When fruit is dried there is also tTie saving of sugar, which even under normal conditions costs more during the canning and preserving season than at other times.
