Forming a Fire Dept. In the Ridge
Section
Plans Are the Work of the Civic Association –
Firehouse Will Be Ready for Use Soon
At a meeting of the Ridge Civic Association,
Inc., Monday night at the school, largely attended by regular
members and those seeking admission to membership, plans were
perfected for the formation of the Ridge Fire department, whose fire
house on Route 25 will be completed and ready for use soon. Frank
Mooney of Sally lane, Pine Woods, is in charge of the committee
forming the Fire department.
Arrangements, under the guidance of Mrs. And
Mrs. Charles Geissler of Medford road, who have had considerable
theatrical experience, have been initiated for a house-warming,
probably over the July Fourth week-end.
A short talk on civilian defense was given
Monday night by William G. McFarland, civil engineer, who has spent
the past winter in following the course given at New York university
on the subject and who has collected considerable data both from the
Federal government and authoritative sources abroad. A resolution
was unanimously adopted to offer the services of the Ridge Civic
association to the Civilian Defense committee of Suffolk county. To
encourage membership among the youth of the community, initiation
fees have been suspended during a proposed membership drive which is
to launched at once.
