This chorus, often heard over the radio, will sing Sunday afternoon at a special service in the Sewicldey Methodist Church

The lire laddies, who stand ready day
or night to protect Sewickloy homes
and business places from the ever-present danger of firo, invito everyone in
Sowickloy to attend their annual bone-
fit, a St. Patrick's Day danco at tho
Guildhall on Broad Street, next Monday ovoning from nino o'clock on.
Although this is tho flrst timo in its
history that tho Eire Department has
hold a dance, mombors of tho various
committees aro lending every effort to
mako tho affair a huge success. Tho
hall will bo appropriately decorated
for tho occasion,
Will La Mont of Maplo Lane, Shields,
a local boy who has mado good as an
orchestra loader, will swing the baton
whilo his seven piece Hotel Boosevelt
Orchestra produces tuneful, provocative danco music. In his fourth year
as director of tho band, Mr, La Mont
plans to arrange a medley of tunos
appropriate to St. Patrick's Day to
play at thc dance. Gordon Pouting of
Thorn Stroot has boon pianist of the
band for tho past throo years.
Tlio orchestra is appearing at the
Club Lido, Youngstown, Ohio, making
a special trip back to Sowickloy to
play at tho firemen's danco. After
sponding two yoars and llvo weeks at
tho Hotel Boosevelt in Pittsburgh, tho
band took to tho road, playing in Wash
ington, Pa., for a time and thou appeared at thc Old Orchard Inn, Booliostor, Pa., for another engagement, with
a few ono night stands on thoir schodulo. Will Lament has built up quite
a following for himself and his orchestra during tho four yoars thoy havo
boon together.
Even though mombors of tho Sowickloy Firo Department, aro paid for attending practices and fires, thoro is no
provision mado by the borough, which
purchases all the necessary equipment,
for tho incidental expenses which must
bo mot by tlio organization. It requires
money to send delegates to conventions
of tho County, Western  Pennsylvania
and State Volunteer Firemen's Associations ami to aid in the welfare of
tho mombors of tho company. In order
to provide such funds, the Firo Department holds annual benefits, and if sufficient money is raised, no moro appeals
aro mado during the year.
Another tribute eoines to the local
firo depart mon t, for, thc head of the
Stato Volunteer Firemen's Association,
hearing of the fame of tho Sowickloy
department, which has spread beyond
the limits, not only of Allegheny
County, but of Western Pennsylvania,
is planning to visit Sowickloy and
watch the local firemen go through
thoir -well drilled firo fighting practice.
