Group is Busy
Rescue Squad Is Needing
Equipment, Auction Set
Being called out on emergen
cies four times in seven days
has emphasized the need for ad
ditional equipment for the Bre
vard Rescue squad.
Pressing needs at the mom
cnt are: a resuscitator, porta
power jack, rope and walkie
talkies.
Last week the rescue squad
rescued a 19-year-old Mississippi
girl who had fallen down a
steep embankment in the Pis
gah National forest. Observers
say the rescue was made with
professional skill, and the girl,
who suffered several broken
bones, was carried to an Ashe
ville hospital.
For many hours over the past
weekend, members of the Bre
vard rescue squad combed the
Pink Beds area in the Pisgab
in search of a plane that was
reported to have crashed.
It was later learned that
pranksters in the Lake Logan
area were sending up flares and
putting out a report of such a
crash.
Local rescuers also assisted in
efforts to revive the Brevard
youth who was drowned Sun
day afternoon in a private lake
off Probart street.
In an effort to raise funds to
purchase needed equipment,
the Brevard Rescue squad will
hold an auction sale on August
10th and 11th, and they are now
asking for contributions to be
'
sold at that time.
Persons having articles of
value that they will donate are
asked to call D. Guy Dean,
Plumbing and Heating. 3-3580.
and a member of the rescue
squad will pick them up.
Others having articles that
they’d like to sell at the auc
tion can do so by paying a sales
commission.

The annual picnic supper hon
oring the sponsors of the Com
