Previous to the action of the fire hoard each of the four companies of Danville had taken action singly en dorsing the movement to bring the big fire fighters' gathering to this city. The Six-County association is one of the largest and most influential of the sub-organizations in the State and in cludes Montour, Columbia, Northum berland, Luzerne, Lackawanna and Schuylkill counties. The annual con ventions are held in June and cover three days, bringing together thou sands of firemen from all over this sec titou The convention this year is to be held iu Hazleton.
