NEWS OF STEELTON FID FEAST ATJGHSPIRE Fourth Anniversary of the Down-River- Town Firefighters Largely Attended ORATION BY THE REV. B. L, C. BAER Orator Compliments Members for Not Allowing Booze in Fire House After Eulogizing George Washington Whose Birth Was Celebrated An energetic committee of the Cjti fpns' Fire Compauy, of HLghspire, spared no pains to make the fourth an niversary afrd banquet of the company the leading social event of the season. The affair was held in the parlor of the lire house and the prog, am was varied with adklresses by prominent members, interspersed with music by the High epire band. John S. Weaver, a eharter member of the compauy, acted as master of ceremonies and the first speaker intro duced was the Rev. B. L C. Baer, pas tor of the Hi£hspire Church of God, and a member of the company. The speaker delivered a brilliant oration'oil Washington, in whose honor many cele brations were held throughout the coun try last evening. He gave a lucid description of Wash ington, as a boy, a man, a sol'Jier, a President and compared the lasting success of the Father of his Country with the barren success scored by the more brilliant Napoleon. The speaker closed by complimenting the members with not allowing intoxicating bever ages inside the engine house at any time since its organization. A historical sketch of the company was given by John F. Weaver, He told Ik»w twenty-seven men of the town met on December 20, 190 ft, and on the following Monday the company elected its tirst officers. These men were: President, C. C. Cumbler; vice presi dent, R. W. Lerch; secretary, W. J. Morgan and treasurer, M. V. Cover. Mr. Weaver told of the facts that lat up to the purchase of the chemical engine. He said this was brought about by the knowledge that the bor ough la ked a high pressure of water, and that a chemical engine was pur chased the latter part of 1910. A sig nal system was installed on June 2, 1912, and on October 14, 1913, a con tract was closed for an auto truck. In December. 1914. a hook and ladder was constructed and housed with the chem ical engine. All this wouM not have come to pass, Mr. Weaver said, had it not been for the willingness of the bor ough citizens to aid the firemen in all they tried to do. In concluding his historical sketch of the company, Mr. Weaver paid a glow ing tribute to the laddies of Highspire, who so ably assisted the members of the company in holding the annual fair in Xovember of each year and to this noble assistance he ascribed much of the financial success of the company during the four years of its ex istence. Harry Ulrieh, president of the coun cil, in a short address, spoke of the efficiency of the local fire department, and he was followed in his remarks by Homer Etter, president of the company, who in a neat speech thanked the Highspire band for its generosity in as sisting the fire company by furnishing splendid mu&k-al programs at each re curring anniversary. He also thanked the borough council, for the company, for its co operation in all the attempts made so far for the betterment oif the fire service of that town. Band Master Shelley, who took charge of the Highspire band, as direc tor. January 16. 1915, was at his best last evening and carried his musicians with him in the various moods of the pieces whiuh were rendered with snap and vigor scoring a big hit with the au dience which vociferously ajpplauded at the end of each or march.

It is the aim of Sabbath school lead ers throughout the city and State to, dispense with flie lesson quarterlies now used in all adult elapses and to provide Biblee for the grownups. At t'he ban quet last night, Morocco-bound hip pocket Bibles were presented to iwh member of the class, who has attended ten sessions of the school, as favors of the event. The light was mixed* with the serious in a delightful way at the big feed. From soup to the good night song it was an evening of hilarity, livery body wore a dunce hat and that made the men act like a crowd otf college boys from the go-off. And then, too, who wouldn't be hilarious with roast stuffed turkey, cranberry sauce and - all the other fixfti's standing in glorious array everywhere around aibout \ojl O." K. Kines Presides O. K.

Then came the fun and fro)ie. Dr. G. D. Gossard, president of Leb anon Valley College, was the principal speaker. Dr. Gossard spent five minutes telling a lot of neigro folk lore, yarns that nobody but a chap from the heart of Maryland ever could relate —Dr. Gossard at one time was a preacher in Baltimore —and then he threw a lot ot hot shot into the crowd that set every body to thinking of their responsibil ities as Bible class members. Dr. Gos sard pointed out that it is not the namby-pamby, wishy-wasbv, spineless criturs who make real Christian men, but those of courage, strength and con viction.
