‘A—16 RESCUERS APPEAL FOR FINANCE AID Prince Georges Squad Sends | Plea to Non-Residents They Have Helped. By a Staff Correspondent of The Star. BLADENSBURG, Md, April 11.— Still pressed for funds to meet operat- | ing expenses, the Prince Georges Coun- ty Rescue Squad today sent out appeals for assistence from persons it has served, while a committee planned to | solicit aid from the county fire associa- tion. Letters to persons who have been belped by the squad and who do not re- | side in Prince Georges County were mailed by James E. Sampson, secretary of the sq The letters say, in part: Finances Are Low.” “The Prince Georges County Rescue Bquad hopes that you have recovered from your trouble. . . . At present the finances of the squad are very low, and it is thought that if you were informed @5 to the manner in which the squad is maintained you might be able to make a donation which will help keep this worthy service available to the public at all times. - service you recelved was made possible through the generosity of some one else, and what you may donate will help care for the next person who needs | the squad.” Declaring the cost of maintaining the present ambulance here 1s exorbitant, members of a committee appointed at the monthly meeting of the squad will lay suggestions for the purchase of & new “wagon” before the county fire as- sociation’s meeting at Forestville, Wed- nesday night. The committee is com- rge Lee, chairman: An- ch, Karl Young and Andrew Study Honor Memberships. ‘The question of soliciting honorary memberships to stimulate interest and help the squad financially is also being given consideration. During the past month the squad made 103 runs, covering 564 miles, ac: contribution of $65 was received from the Branchville Fire Department, hav- ing been raised through a benefit dance.
