Osceola firemen answered three calls last week including an ammonia leak at Farmer's Co-op Grain Co which was under control with no damage. A fire at the Schmoker residence caused no damage due to wind blown power lines. An automatic hospital alarm proved false but wind kept lines and trees from being shut off. A birthday surprise for Mrs. Oscar Jones was hosted at her home with several Jones family members attending.
