NEWDALE FIRE DEPT. % TO SPONSOR FISH SUPPER On Saturday, Jan. 22, from 5:00 until 8:30 p. m„ the Newdale Voluntee- Fire Dept, will sponsor a fish supper—at—the -Micaville, Ele _ mentary School.

Jn addition to the fish supper, the Department will also sponsor an all gospel singing on Jan. 29 at the Micaville Elementary School auditorium, beginning at 7:30. There will be no ad mission charge, but a free will offering will be taken. The Newdale Volunteer Fire department was organ ized in 1964 by a group of men in the area, “aided and, abetted” by the Newdale Community Club. Since that time the Department has built a compact block fire house, housing two fire trucks, located across the road from the home of Sam Greene almost within “throwing" distance of the Banco Lumber Company, Martins Chapel Methodist Church, Howeirs Store and Robinspn’s Dairy, at an ap proximate cost of $9,000. At the present time they have a deficit of $2,000. The pro ceeds from the supper, as well as all money raising schemes within the immed iate future, will go towards cleaning up this lebt. The Fire Dept, has re ceived its charter from Ral eigh, but* in order to receive a rating enabling home owners within a four mile radius of the fire house to enjoy lower Insurance rates, certain standards must be met and maintained, which the department is now work ing toward. When an accep table standard Is set insur ers within that radius will receive a cut of approximat ely 20 to 23 percent on their insurance. • 1‘ The residents of the New dale community take a great deal of pride in their fire de partment. Hie department has answered approximately 20 fire calls, and they feel have helped greatly in sav ing several homes, and at least one homo from com plete demolishment. They feel too that when the saw mill was burned a year or so ago they were instrumental in saving the Methodist Church building, the dairy, and a good part of the lum ber. Charles Crowder Is fire chief, and under him are about 15 volunteer firemen. Certainly this project and these men should have the full supoort of all of us, and especially the residents of that particular area. So come on out and show your loyalty by attending all their raising nrojects. 'Oiere will be good food, good fellowship, and the feeling that your money Is going to a worthwhile cause. The Newdale Volunteer Fire Department, thru its chief. Charles Crowder, K'ro so this op portunity to thank the peo ple of the county, and par ticularly the people of the Newda’e community for their support anl coopera tion.
