Funds for Stephens City Fire Hall Drive
Approximately 67,107 dollars in the treasury of the Independent Hose Company is allocated for a new fire hall. Most of the sum will go to firefighters to aid construction, raised through benefits, dinners, and entertainments. Auxiliary members are being asked to help dispose of a 19 piece crocheted dinner set, with a carnival planned later to boost funds. Committee members include Mrs. J. D. Steele, chairwoman, Mrs. Jessie Adams, Miss Nettie Carbaugh, and Mrs. Caroline Seal. Excavation for the hall began last week.
