APRIE 27 1929 ° Mr. Beattic | CLARENDON PLANS: NEW FIREHOUSE Joint Department and Citi- zens’ Association Quarters Are Proposed. e BY LESTER N. INSKEEP. Staff Correspondent of The St CLARENDON, Va., April 27.—Re- fused a building by the board of county supervisors, trustees of the Clarendon Volunteer Fire Department met last night with ‘the holding company of the Community Hall and lald tentative plans for the erection of a building that will house both the Fire Department and Clarendon Citizens' Association. Chief H. S. Smith announced that arrangements are being made for tem- porary quarters for the fire apparatus and J. Thomas Manning, & member of the board of the holding company, said that the board has changed its plans for & bullding to provide for the Fire Department. g The latter action follows the recent sale of the building in ‘which both or- ganizations are housed. It had been planned by the Citizens’ Association to erect a community house, the Fire De- partment. to make its own arrange- ments for a bullding. The firm of Ball & Douglass, which purchased the old building, has refused to complete the deal until some provi- sion has been made for the fire ap- paratus, and this was the reason, ac- cording to A. C. Putnam, president of both the Fire Department and holding company, that the department request- ed the aid of the supervisors. The decision of the board, which was to the effect that they could not provide a building for one fire company without providing them for all, left the fate of the Fire Department in‘the hands of the holding company and resulted in the change in the plans for the erection of a joint building. Putnam says that it was the unani- mous opinion of all who attended last night's meeting that the citizens of the Clarendon section should not be with- out the protection of the apparatus. * Having in mind the formulation of definite plans for the erection of a new building and the acquisition of tem- porary quarters, & joint meeting of the trustees of the Fire Department and the board of directors of the holding company has been set for next Thurs- day night. Following the discussion of plight of the Fire Department, a special com- mittee, consisting of J. B. Swecker, chairman; J. Thomas Manning, H. 8. Smith and J. L. Matusha was appoint- ed to call upon the supervisors, re- quest the purchase of a new piece of apparatus for the department and dis- cuss the plans for a new building. DR.

HIGH TRIBUTE PAID COUNTY FIREMEN Senator Caraway and Rep-| resentative Gambrill Laud Prince Georges Volunteers. BY GEORGE PORTER. By & Staff Correspondent of The Star. HYATTSVILLE, Md., April 27.—Pay- ing high tribute to the courage, self- sacrifice and patriotism of the men who enroll in volunteer fire companies, Senator T. H. Caraway of Arkansas, Representative Stephen W. Gambrill of Maryland, State Senator Lansdale G. Sasscer and other prominent speakers last night pictured the Prince Georges County Volunteer Fire Departments, not only as indispensable units in the protection - of the Washington metro- politan area, but also as one of the most important elements in the growth and development of the county in the last few years. The occasion was the first annual banquet of the County Volunteer Fire- men'’s Association, attended by a capac- ity sudience in the Masonic Hall here. Referring to the time when seven of the county volunteer fire departments extinguished a fire in the historic Cal~ vert Mansion, Riverdale where he now lives, Seriator Caraway declared that, though he was not famillar with the county-wide activities of the firemen, he knew from frequent personal con- tacts that the Riverdale company was “exceedingly efficient and most ob- liging.” Praises Public Spirit. Representative Gambrill saw in the | “fine public spirited work” of the vol- unteer firemen a display of unselfish- | ness whieh many our our citizens might well emulate.” Pointing out that the reward of the firemen came only in the appreciation they receive from the peo- ple ‘of the county, the speaker called upon the men to.continue their good work and extended his personal wishes for “every success." Any increased expenditure commen- surate with the increased protection afforded by the volunteer firemen will be money well ‘spent. State Senator Sasscer told the association, while Dr. H. T. Willis, mayor of Hyattsville, de- clared that, phenomenal as has been the growth of schoo}s. roads gnd sani- tary services in the'county ddring the last two decades. the progress shown by the fire departments has been even greater. Claiming that nowhere in the State is there as much co-opetation between volunteer firemen and the forestry de- partment, District Forester Walter J. Quick, ir., sald Prince Georges County had taken a real step forward by per- fecting co-operative arrangements to prevent and fight forest |fires this Spring, and that the results were most gratifying. = Objectives Accomplished. Enactment of legislation giving the fire apparatus the right of way on the highways of the State, authority to in- spect premises and order the removal of fire menaces, ability to respond to alarms in other fjurisdictions with a minimum of efforl. regulation of fire drills in schools, were cited by T. W. Venemann, secretary of the association, as some of the outstanding objectives accomplished by their organization since its inception in 1922. The devel- ovment of a county rescue squad by H. L. Leonard. its chief, was also re- called by Venemann in his historical sketch of the association, while in con- clusion he declared plans are now being developed whereby the volunteer fire.
