Garden City Volunteers Show Value as Fire Bargain
A Garden City column praises the volunteer fire department after a major McAllister building fire. It notes a $21,000 annual budget, potential taxpayer savings up to $100,000 yearly, and pay rates of $10 for wet runs and $8 for drills and false alarms. It argues volunteers provide speed and efficiency at far lower cost than full-time departments.

When Big Corporations Try To Personalize Service
ART BUCHWALD notes how large firms seek to personalize interactions with customers. A credit card client received a letter announcing a liaison named Fred Barkle to handle questions. When a billing error occurred, the supposed single contact proved to be a rotating alias, with staff switching weekly and no reliable way to reach the same representative. Parsons endured repeated miscommunications and impersonally managed support.
