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

and Rapho Township.
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.
