The minutes of the preceding meet-
ing, held at Holsopplé, were read and
approved as read. : :
The reports of the various out-
standing committees required a large
amount of time, which, in connection
with the regular routine of business,
caused the meeting to be one of the
longest on record since the organiza-
tion of the Somerset County Fire-
men’s Association.
“Teddy Mills of the By-Laws com-
mittee reported that his committee
had their work completed and the by-
laws ready for final reading and ap-
proval or rejection of the Association.
Edward Laurer of Hooversville, an-
other member of the same committee,
then read the changes which were re-
commended following the first read-
ing of the by-laws at the meeting in
Holsopple last month, most :iotable of
which were the provisions for the of-
ficers elected to take charge at the
beginning of the new year, and the
extension of the time for members of
the different companies in the county
to enroll with the County Association
in order to be eligible to compete in
the various events during the county
convention. The time now required,
by the amended by-laws is ninety
days instead of thirty days, as was at
first provided for in the by-laws.
After quite lengthy discussion center-
ing about the point of how to deter-
mine heavy and light equipment—or
rather, in how to distinquish the aif-
ference, whether by pumping capacity
or by weight of truck. The by-laws
were passed on motion properly made,
seconded and carried. The discussion,
which at times was quite interesting,
was participated in by President Hill,
Teddy Mills and a number of ‘others
present.
Thomas Stakem, chairman of the
committee to convene in a joint meet-
ing with the officials of the two tele-
phone companies operating in the
county, in the hope of securing night
service for fire calls in towns where
there is no night telephone service,
reported .that at a ‘recent meeting
with the telephone company officials
each company promised hearty coop-
eration in shaping things up so that
in case of fire no time would be los:
in getting telephone calls through.
The principal towns handicapped
along this line are Stoyestown, and
Holsopple and it is believed now that
with the cooperation promised by the
telephone officials no difficulty will be
encountered along this line in {he fu-
ture, indicating that Mr. Stakem’s
committee is a very active one. Much
credit is due both the committee and
the officials of the two telephone com-
panies in the county in getting this
matter amicably straightencd out.
Mr. Stakem stated in his report that
his committee would continue
work along this line in order that the

The members of the Volunteer Fire
Department, of Meyersdale, of which
the groom is a member arranged to give
the happy couple a ride on the fire
truck, but unfortunately called for the
couple before the ceremony was per-
formed. However, this did not embar-
rass the Squire at all, but was equal to
the emergency and invited the members
in to witness the ceremony, which they
readily accepted.
If there was anybody embarrassed it
was the members of the Fire Depart-
ment who witnessed the ceremony,
wearing their fire fighting uniforms. The
bride and groom were given an interest-
ing ride after the ceremony.
The groom is engaged in business with
his father, and has for years success-
fully conducted the News Stand on
Main Street. He is Justice of the Peace
and a World War Veteran, serving with
the well known Company C over seas.
The bride is the only daughter of Mr.

graduate of the Meyersdale High School.
She is accomplished and very popular
and has been employed since her grad-
uation as cashier for Hartley Brothers
and recently by Joseph Spataro.
The happy couple left early for Bal-

honeymoon. They wilt be home to their
friends in Meyersdale in about a week.
