LouiKliurj* Fire Dept: Elect Chief, Says Council The Town Council ordered the Louisburg Volunteer Fire De partment, In a letter read at the firemen's regular monthly meeting Monday night, to hold an election (or a chief of the de partment. The action came as an aftermath of a petition pre sented several weeks ago to the council, requesting the hiring of a "Full-time, paid, qualified chief ' for the department. The petition was signed by 12 members of the department, although the majority have since stated that no personalities were Involved In the request. The council's directive did not make mention of the present Chief W. J. "Pete"Shearln. The election Is scheduled to be held next month after all members of the department have been properly notified of the election. Prior to the reading of the letter, James Johnson, Secre tary and 'a member of the Ex ecutive Committee of the fire | department, requested a stand i lng vote of confidence for the 1 present chief. All members I rose except one, Morris Wynne. Whether Wynne's action re flected his feeling for the pres ent chief was not determined. Shearln expr?*ssed his ap preciation to the members for the vote of confidence. Chief Shearin requested the secretary to read a resolution tossed In January, 1956, per taining to the resignation of any member who did not feel he could abide by the rules and regulations of the organization or who felt that operation of the department was not In the best interests of the community. The resolution was signed in 105G by over 39 men. After the reading, Shearln asked anyone who now felt he could not abide by the rules to resign. When there was no response, the present chief ksked for the re signations of firemen Davis Perry, Jolly Bunn and Morris Wynne, declaring that their ac tions, connected with the peti tion presented the town council, constituted actions detrimental to the department. Chief Shearln then read a rep rimand and warning to full-time fireman Karl Pernell condemn ing him for his actions In seek ing signatures on the petition. Shearln reported that following the meeting Pernell apologized for any actions that might have been embarrassing to the de partment. Pernell also stated before the meeting that he was "Acting in what I believed to be the best Interests of the de partment, as I have always done," In referring to his con nection with the petition. The discussions, which be came somewhat heated at times, saw remarks by Davis, Bunn and Wynne, all bearing on their be ing asked to resign, plus a call (or unity by fireman Joe Ed wards and Town Councilman Fireman V. A. Peoples. Both used the same phrase In asking the members to settle their dif ferences and "get the depart ment's business back Inside the department and off the streets." Edwards asked that "this black out on t^e town be removed." The differences have been growing for several years, according to veteran member, E. H. McFarland, and the peti tion has brought It to the public's attention. Edwards recom mended that Shearln withdraw his resignation requests, but the Chief declined to do so. Perry asked that a vote be taken by the department to determine If he was to re main a member, but this re quest was not allowed by the presiding Shearln. The order from the Town Council calls for the election of a chief only and will not affect Assistant Chief R. G. Person and the secretary, James Johnson. Person made several attempts to have the election held Monday night, but failed when the rules of the de partment forbade It. Several members obtained the floor In order to express their stand on the petition and other matters being discussed. May or Louis Wheless, and Town Councllmen, Jimmy Lumpkin, Robert Hicks, V. A. Peoples and Thornton Jones, were pres ent. Jones and Peoples are members of the department and Hicks Is a former member. In other action taken, the de- , partment approved a resolution In praise of Rev. W. M.
