CENTRAL FIREMEN TO MEET AT EXPOSITION Throughout the twelve counties in middle Pennslvania, in which are the members of the Central District Vol- unteer Firemen’s Association of Penn- sylvania, preparations are already be- ing made for the annual convention of the fire fighters to be held at Eb- ensburg, Pa. July 1 and 2. As it hap- pens Emil O. Wilkinson, of Ebensburg, is president of the association and so the gathering of smoke eaters ot the county, seat of Cambria County, is, in a measure, a tribute from the as- sociation to the highest executive of- ficer. But there was another incentive to urge the great organization of vol- unteer fire fighters to pick Ebens- burg for their meeting this. summer. They have ‘been made the guests and have been offered all facilities of the great Cambria County Industrial Ex- position for their meeting and, these proffered advantages they have accep- | ted. A big firemen’s convention, like this one, would be nothing without a parade, and without a parade and with- out band concerts and all of these and | all the prize drills, and the hose cou- pling contest, and, in fact, all that goes with a typical convention of this sort, will ‘take place ‘at the nau: | this year, on the grounds of the Indus- trial Exposition, during the first two days it is open, for the exposition op- ens on July 1 and runs until July 6.
