Let us go back ito the year
of 1963. But why would this
year be so s gnificant? For some
people in the county it wouldn’t
be out for s~me Citizens in the
eastern part of the county it

Tin ItSDAY, NOV 2. 196 V
A group of men got together—
they all had something in com
mon—an idea for a volunteer
f.re department that would cover
the Newda.e, Arbuckle, Mica
ville and out surrounding areas.
They began working together
for this goal. These men put in
many hours of hard work but

of the general public, the build
ing was built in 1964 and s now

very good example.

to pump it out of creeks. Water
needs to -be closer in order to
keep the trucks full for the next
emergency. Having to pump
water is inconvenient and takes
time. Time, as you know, is a
very important factor in case

men have done, they st 11 need

Chief, arrangements with
the N.Y.C. Sanitation Crew to
put in the water l'ne, build a
reservoir and septic tank. Mr.
Crowder said, “The Neighbor
hood Yr>uth Corps did real work
—a satisfactory job.”
Not one, net two— but ap
proximately 400 families will'
benefit from the work done by
the Ne ghborhood Youth Corps.
