XLII, NO. 9 UP-TO-THE-MINUTE I'he Mount Joy Bulletin WE EKL Y I N LANCASTE COUNTY Mount Joy, | Pa. Thursday July 30, 1942 $1. 50 a Yeur in Advance FIRE HOUSE ANNEX IS NOW COMPLETED Accompanying Illustrations Show Lounge or Reading Room, And The Assembly Room With the exception of a few min- or details, the new annex to the Fire House is now completed and furnished. After many ‘years our firemen, who so willingly volunteer their services to others, have a building they can be proud of and one that required many months of planning. The main requirements to be con- sidered in planning this annex were tn provide complete and adequate social quarters for the Fire Com- pany, an assembly room for meet- | ings of a general community nature which would accommodate at least 300 persons, and to allow enough space on this limited plot of ground to house auxiliary equipment. The main walls are constructed of brick with exposed cinder blocks on the inside. These block walls and the interior plywood partitions are all painted, forming a dark wainscoat up to the window sills. All floors are of wood except the basement which is painted concrete. The annex contains a basement, first and second floors, and in ground area, covers 800 square feet more than the Fire House itself. Cne enters the annex from either the North or South sides through stair towers which run continuous from the basement to the second floor. The North stair tower is of fire proof construction. The fact that enclosed stair towers were used, makes it possible to circulate from the basement to the second floor without interfering with meetings (Turn to page 6) 4-H Members Tour County On Monday Different steer feeding and man- agement methods as practiced by various members of the Mount Joy and Red Rose 4-H Baby Beef clubs were inspected on a country wide tour held on Monday, with M.

Lititz Decides To Hold Farm | Show This Fall Definite action was taken at a Monday evening to hold the annual farm show in Lititz when the members of the Lititz Community Show Association met and elected officers for the 1942 af- fair.

The Lititz Association purchased a $500 War Bond, made possible thru a large State appropriation last year, caused by the fact that so many of the shows were cancelled because of the infantile paralysis epidemic.
