To Get New
Ambulance
ForWarwick
The Warwick ambulance was
damaged in an accident last
week, and will be traded in on
a new 1963 model, it was announced
today by the Warwick
Ambulance Association.
Presently the association is
using a 1959 ambulance loaned
to them by the firm from
whom the new one is being
purchased. The new machine
is expected to be here in about
60 days.
The association said this action
is being taken because
they were anticipating trading
in the present 1960 model in
the fall to keep down costs, so
it seemed logical to trade in the
damaged one now. It will be
repaired before being traded
in.
The ambulance was enroute
to Philadelphia March 27, to
pick up a patient in that city
and bring him back, and was
travelling east in the left
lane, of the Sehuykill Expressway
near City Line,
it was reported, when it struck ™ celebrating the

can be seen, but most of the damage was inside the motor. It
will bo repaired and traded in for a 1003 model.
