Each officer selected a

The Rescue Squad would
like to thank the citizens and
business establishments of
Yancey County for their
support of the Yancey County
Rescue Squad, Inc. Their
membership has grown a lot
over the past year, but they
still need some more mem'

and duties of total service to
the people of Yancey County.
The Rescue Squad still has
some hospital beds for loan to
the people of Yancey County
at no charge. Members are
expecting their new modular
type emergency vehicle to
arrive some time in early
August, and will be better
equipped to serve the people
of Yancey County with this
new equipment.
