The objective? To make all of the residents serviced by the Village Fire Dept. aware of the need for a new fire hall. Having visited their build- ing on Mill Street, I can willingly add my voice to their cause. There is hardly breath-1 ing space in the hall once the two trucks have been care- fully backed in. I know because I tried to "crawl" between the two vehicles. Our men perform an essen- tial community service, one which we all benefit from and one which we all too often "take for granted"! Their request for larger and more moden facilities are not "out of line". There is need for immediate expansion. The area is growing, but can it continue to grow without our volunteer firemen? Before too long, it will be the Council who will be "going to blazes"! Yours truly, Tom Chard, Newcastle. Newtonville bertson, John Tay- gilted?
