Fire Belles To Help Men With Gospel Concert The Ladies Auxiliary of the Black Mountain Volunteer Fire Department wish to an nounce that they have adopted j new name for their organiza :ion . In the future they will ae known as the Fire Belles. To make a long story short, his new name was adopted to make a long name short. The Fire Belles were organ ized in January of this year. They are a group of local wo men, whose main purpose is to help the local Volunteer Fire Dept, raise funds for much needed equipment and to help them with their busi ness and social functions. In this past three months the Fire Belles have been working long and hard. They have been selling flower and garden seeds and Stanley Home Products. They are now in the process of making new drapes for the Fire Dept. Headquarters. Last month they prepared and served re freshments to a group of fifty five visiting firemen, who re presented the Buncombe County District Firemen’s As sociation. At the present time they are helping with the ticket sale for the Gospel Concert, which is being sponsored by me f ire uepx. ana win De held at Owen High School on April 28. The Fire Belles will man the School cafeteria and will be serving refreshments throughout the evening. The needs of our local Vol unteer Fire Dept, are many, but their most urgent need is for Scott Air Packs. These are required Standard Equip ment for all firemen and with out them, our volunteers are working at a great disadvant age. There is always present an element of risk and danger in fighting fires. Our fire men realize this, but have vol unteered willingly to accept this risk. However it is unfair to expect these men to go out and fight fires, without at least the minimum protection. The proceeds from the Gos pel Concert and the food sold by the Fire Belles, will go toward the purchase of these Scott Air Packs. We urge all our citizens to make every effort to support this project. You are guaranteed a most en joyable evening and you will have the satisfaction of know ing that you are contributing to a most worthy cause. CHARLES W.
