The group purchased a splint
for the local ambulance. It is a
typ2 of “quick” splint that an
amateur could be taught to use.
It will remain in the ambulance
at all times. They also made a
mation to purchase thirteen fire
police belts to be kept on the
tire trucks. The belts are similar
to the school bells in appear-
ance. Several members also de-
cided to purchase additional
belts to keep in their automo-
biles. Ten meniters of the fire
police decided to purchase fire
police uniforms ter themselves.

Payment for storage will be
made on a yearly basis. It was
suggested that some garages’
second floors are not used and
could be used for this purpose.
If anyone is interested, Arthur
Sprecher may be contacted for
details.
It is the job of the merchants
and home owners to light the
displays each evening to make
the project a success. If the dis-
plays were all hooked together,
it would cost approximately $1-
,500 just for the wire and in-
installation. Permanent wiring
is not allowed to remain on the
P.P.&L. poles. Therefore, each
year the wire would have to be
installed.
