Membership cards cost 75 cents. In Pownal, a small frame feed building near Green Mountain Park stables burned last night but barns and horses were not endangered. Major Ray Smith credited a rapid three minute response by the Pownal Fire Department at 9 45 p.m. with keeping the fire under control. The feed building was eight to ten feet square, aluminum covered, and contained a small amount of hay.
