Friendship buys new equipment despite shortage of community $3 Friendship Fire Company of Mount Joy recently placed in service new life-saving, time-saving emergency care equipment: a Life Pack S Defibrillator, Heart Monitor and a Hurst Power Rescue Tool. The Heart Monitor was pur- chased at a cost of $5,800.00; the Hurst Tool at $5,000.00-- total $10,800.00. The Department consid- ered a building program to relocate the replace the present firehouse with a larger, more efficient facility. It was decided to postpone a building project for the immediate future and continue the up-dating of equipment begun in 1971. In June, Mount Joy fire- men sent Fund Drive letters to each houschold, business and industry in the Borough. In addition, firemen hand-carried the Fund Drive to the rural areas they served-- portions SAVINGS 10 oz. throwaway bottles COCA COLA case $3.90 10 oz. returnable bottles COCA COLA case $2.90 We feature drive-thru service Photo shows Head Trainer Ron Alleman at work with a 653-4100 Midget football player.

Treasurer and Fund Drive Chairman, Dennis Fackler reports that 4,500 letters were mailed and delivered. As of last Monday, the Department received 270 replies from the Borough and 135 replies from the rural area, receiving a total of $6,400.00. The Fire Company had hoped to receive enough funds to pay for the purchase of the new equipment, but has come up short by $4,400.00. Treasurer Fackler emphasized that the citi- zens and industry who gave to this year’s Fund Drive gave generously, but the total of only 405 replies is disappointing. Says Fack- ler, "We didn’t have a Fund Drive last year and we didn’t move ahead with a new building, due to the economic conditions, infla- tion, etc. We felt the citi- zens would be more recep- tive to the purchase of needed equipment this year, but we fell short of our goal.” Fackler stated further, ‘‘The allocation received from the Borough pays only the utilities, fuel and insurance on the ve- hicles. We've always paid our own maintenance and equipment purchases. Without our weekly Bingo games, our financial pic- ture would be extremely different. We have a small debt on the new ambulance and the Heart Monitor and Hurst Tool, ‘hat we had hoped to pay before the end of the year. Perhaps now that our new ecquipment is in ser- vice and the public can see what it oes, those people who have not replied to the Fund Drive will answer the Company's call for help!” WE HAVE THE FARM BOSS ANDITISA STIHL. IT STARTS EASIER. Because of a hotter spark, better carburetion and a flood-free design. IT'S MORE RELIABLE. Because it has longer-wearing moving parts that won't break down. IT'S MORE POWERFUL. Because it has the biggest power to weight ratio of any popular saw. IT'S QUIETER. Because its large baffled muffler is more than just a tin box IT COSTS LESS. Because a saw that'll last about twice as long will only cost about half as much Over $30 worth of free accessones including a spare cutting chain really make the Farm Boss a Stihl.
