LEXINGTON FIREMEN
Invited to Participate in Trades Car?
nival at Staunton?The Boys
Working For a New
Uniform.
Mayor J. D. Anderson has received
a communication from Staunton ask?
ing if the Lexington Fire Department
would accept an invitation to be pres?
ent in tnat city one day of the Trades
Carnival to be held under the auspices
of the Staunton Board of Trade, Octo?
ber 3rd to 6th inclusive. One day will
will be devoted exclusively to a grand
fireman's parade.
The firemen interviewed express a
desire to aecept the invitation provided
they can secure for themselves a new
uniform. The present uniform, red
shirt and white trousers, is somewhat
ont of date, and our firemen are desir?
ous of having a uniform in keeping
with other companies. They have se?
lected a uniform and obtained prices
on same. The only thing now is thc
laok of means with whieh to purchase
them. The uniform selected consists
of blue double-breasted sack coat and
cap, regular fireman's cut, and will cost
about $6 each. White trousers will
continue to be worn. Forty uniforms
will be sufficient for the present, and
fully that number of firemen hive sig?
nified their willingness to raise 12.50
each or $100 of this amount, leaving a
balaaoe of $140 to be provided for in
some other way.
Now is an opportunity for our pub*
lie spirited citizens to show their ap?
preciation of the work dc ne by our
excellent Fire Department. Not that
lack of interest hss been shown in the
recent past, but that increased interest
is hoped for in the near future.
Tbe Virginia State Fireman's A so
ciation will be held in Rosin, ke Sep?
tember 27th to 29th inclusive. It is
very important that our firemen appear
in their new uniforms. They have won
honors in the past and hope to do so
in the future. They have decided that
tbey will not wear tbe red shirts again,
and in the event of their inability to
secure the new uniform, they will not
wear a uniform.
Cannot something bs done for their
relief ?
The $140 might be raised by po- ular
subscription.
Who will suggest a plan and help
put it into execution?
The Department has a Uniform Com?
mittee, composed of Messis. V. L.
Hildebrand, V. E. Funkhcuser, and H.
C. Bowyer, who will gladly r. ceive
contributions or suggestions looking to
the securing of suitable unift rms.
