1 is one of two companies in this section of the Statae which still adheres to these typical uniforms. The fire lads, in addition to participating in other civic enterprises and its liberal donations to worthy causes, is also mindful of the children of the community at each Christmas season. On Christmas morning it stages a Christmas party for the children who receive oranges and candy and are treated to a band concert. These parties are costly but the firemen have happily learned that they are worth it. John R.

Moyer is the fire chief and his assistants are Paul S. C. Rinker and John Rese. Other officers of the company are: President, Walter Wieder; vice president, Clarence Wieder; recording secretary. George Stephen; financial secretary, Edwin Stephen; assistant secretary.

On Nov. 22, 1909 the company organized an Emmaus Firemen's Relief Assn. which was incorporated Jan. 20, Stansfield, W. H.

Stansfield, Preston Wieder and C. M. Wieand. As the town continued to grow, the fire company added more modern equipment to meet its fire-fighting needs. At present the apparatus consists of a triple combination Ahrens-Fox engine, purchased In 1920 at a cost of a hook and ladder Hahn truck purchased in 1928 for $4,200, and a fully-equipped ambulance purchased approximately ten years ago.

It is not only used for fire victims but for residents in general who must be removed to the hospital without delay. As a rule, the fire chief or his assistants man it. Elmer Hillegass Is the head driver of the Ahrens-Fox engine while Homer Polster is the head driver of the Hahn engine. The Hahn ladder truck has depreciated to such an extent that efforts are being made to secure a new and more modem one with the approval and aid of Emmaus Borough council. Since its organization, the fire com pany has enjoyed continuous growth so that today it has a membership of 825 which includes active, honorary, and contributing.

Its' spacious social quarters are in the town's municipal building at 4th and Jubilee sts. The grill room and lounging room, adjoin ing each other, are located on the basement floor of the building. A reading and reception room is found on the first floor. Meetings are held every second Monday evening of the month. The firemen do not merely confine themselves to fire fighting but to other activities.

They are represented at the Four-County Firemen's convention by Russell Hamscher and at the State Firemen's convention by Ar thur "Wessner. In addition to the smaller fire company of town, Citizens Fire Co. No. 2, the members of Co. No.

Lenta Post Meeting Regular stated meeting of Herbert Paul Lentx post Tuesday evening at 8 o'clock in the post home. Election of delegates to the state convention at Philadelphia. Sons of the Legion at the State Convention More than 1,000 Sons of the Legion will take part in the 28th annual state convention of The American Legion, to be held at Philadelphia Atgust 21-25, it was announced yesterday by Walter E. Alessandroni, president of the convention corporation. This juvenile group was organized in 1932 as a post to carry on the tradition of the Legion through the years.

It has developed into one of the major youth movements in the Representing 10,000 members throughout the state, the boys will engage in two business meetings. Awards will be made at these sessions for outstanding efforts in activities during the past year, including sales of war bonds and stamps, newspaper collections and scrap drives. Arrangements are being made by the Philadelphia County Council, official host of the Sons of the Legion at the convention, to provide an evening of- entertainment for them on Friday, Aug. 23. The boys' program will be conclufled on Aug.

24 when they join with Legionnaires in the big parade from 21st St. and the Parkway to Independence Square. Twelve of their musical units will compete for prizes in the drum and bugle corps, and band sections, during the parade. Alabama Wins Right to Lead Big Convention Parade Alabama will lead the grand parade of The American Legion at its big postwar "Victory Convention" in San Francisco. on Oct.

1. The Yellowhammer Legionnaires won the right to head the 1946 na tional convention procession down San Francisco's famous Market by turning in the best average member ship record for the war period, 1942 to 1945. For the five-year period beginning in 1942 and including 1946 they averaged 170.10 per cent enroll ment of their membership quotas an nually. Virginia placed second with a 154.99 per cent average; North Carolina third with 154.14 per cent: Texas fourth with 153.22 per cent; Nebraska fifth with 150.29 per cent. Virginia was declared the winner of the 1946 national convention hall seating preference by enrolling the greatest percentage of its present four-year average membership this year.

It mustered 47,166 members or 285.40 per cent of its four-year previous average enrollment of 16,526. Nebraska was second with a percentage of 275.33; Tennessee third with 268.78 per cent; Alabama fourth with 268.14 per cent, and Texas fifth with 266.41 per cent. Legion Backing Bill to Bar Unauthorized Sale of Medals The American Legion has thrown its support behind a bill which would penalize by a fine of $1,000 or one year's imprisonment anyone who man ufactures, sells or wears without authority a service man's discharge Dution or other service medals. The measure was introduced in the House of Representatives by Rep. Gordon L.

McDonough of California. Hearings on the bill are scheduled for tne near future. Support of this legislation is in compliance with recommendations contained in a resolution adopted by the national executive committee of the Legion in November, 1944, after it attention was called to the sale of dis charge buttons and war medals indiscriminately to all comers. The Joseph Baker Post. No.

319 at Toledo, delegated two of its younger members to visit several stores there, and they were able to buv with out producing any identifications, a furpie Heart medal, a Presidential Citation, a Silver Star and five other medals and decorations. Good-Will and Future Market in GI Loans Those lending agencies which require a veteran to use as little of his guarantee credit as is necessary to secure a loan are, presefving not only good-will but a future market in GI loans, U. S. Veterans Administration contact representative Frederick H. E.

Dorney of Lentz post points out. He cites a recent case, however, of a lender's requiring full 50 per cent mortgage guarantee for a house selling for the equivalent of $3,000 down payment in such a case is quite out of line with normal mortgage lend ing, ne said, whatever portion of guarantee credit is left after a veteran has made one loan can be used for additional loans at any time within 10 years after the end of the war, and using the privilege loosely will cost both th veteran and the lending in stitution future advantage, he warns. Government guarantee, the equivalent of a cash down payment, need usually be required in no greater amount than the 10 or 20 per cents which are normal in home loan markets. Farming Now a Form of Medical Treatment Farming used to be an occupation; now it's also a form of medical- treatment. Veterans Administration doctors have found that working with growing plants and animals has helped many veterans to.

shake off the mental and nervous distress produced by the shocks and strains of war. As a result, nearly all Veterans Administration neuropsychiatric hospitals have turned to farming for occupational therapy as well as for food supplies. Livestock, poultry, feed crops, fruit and vegetable raising not only gives veterans constructive and active interests in work of their own, but gives them experience for setting up farms of their own after discharge if they decide to use their GI loan guarantee privileges. Thus farming has become a full-fledged antidote to some of the personal costs of war. Split Legion-Auxiliary Conventions Scheduled Because of.

Major Commodities Hit 23 Year Peak as Slocks In General Dip Sharply By VICTOR EUBANK NEW YORK, July 13. (A3) Finan cial markets presented somewhat of a paradox during the past week with major commodities hitting highs for about 23 years while stocks generally were thrown for losses. Cotton futures and grains developed further strength although running into some profit taking as the week ended.

These were buoyed by wade- spread demand and the absence of OPA ceilings. Shares, on the other hand, exhibit ed considerable nervousness and inde cision as numerous customers trimmed accounts to await results of the Con gressional battle over price controls, Some specials did fairly well at intervals but selling became more pronounced in the final Friday session with virtually all departments suffering casualties. Steels were in front of the Friday stumble which brought the week's largest volume of 1,130,000 shares. A few aviations such as Lockheed and Transcontinental it Western Air weakened following the government's action in grounding all Constellation transports pending investigation of a recent crash. Both stocks dropped some 4 points each at the worst, as the two companies were principally affected by the CAA decree.

They later halved their losses. Offerings elsewhere were attributed partly to bearishrtess over the increase of call money rates to brokers and dealers in government loans and other collateral. Expanding buyers' strikes, as living costs rose, together with threats of renewed labor difficulties, were factors. Caution ruled transactions Monday but turnover of 680,000 shares was a low for the week and one of the smallest since last August. While declines outnumbered advances at the close; scattered issues were aided by the revaluation of the Canadian dollar in terms of United States cur rency.

Some gold mines dipped, how ever, as the higher dominion rate was interpreted as disadvantageous to pro ducers who had been selling their out put in the U. S. and converting to Canadian funds. Selective rallies eventuated Tues day with steels and motors leading a comeback on the idea these had been oversold. Short covering also helped.

Distillers International Paper and Hiram Walker strengthened in further reflection of the higher Dominion dollar quotation McGraw Electric jumped points on a lifted dividend. "Thinness" of the market was exemplified by a drop of 5 points at $257.50 in Norfolk Western oh only 150 shares. The list worked at cross purposes Wednesday. Liquors and packing house issues enjoyed a sharp upswing, the former responding to earnings and splitup talk and the latter to hopes of expanding business if opa con trols finally were eliminated. Hiram Walker, ahead nearly 10 points at one time, finished up Schneley Distillers Corp.

34, National Distil lers 314 and Wilson Co. 2, all new 1946 tops. Profit cashing in distillers and packers spread to steels and other groups Thursday although specials contested the trend with some success. Equity able Office building was the fastest SDrinter with a sain of a point as a new reorganization proposal "for the company was heard. Raised dividends propped Colgate-Palmolive and U.

S. Rubber. For the week the Associated Press 00-stock average showed a net loss of a point at 78.2, where it was 4.2 points under the 15-year high of last May 29 and 6 points a Dove tne 1946 low of Feb. 26.
