My Dear Nosey:
I must admit that you are cer
tainly a rustler and a good pub
licity man for the Ball Games
and Dog Races. You sure draw
the crowd at the games regard
less of how hard the times are
according to common talk, but
let us figure it out.
We now have a lot of nice new
business buildings with full lines

IT GETS RESULTS
of brand new goods. Nothing
shopworn or out of date. A nice
new school house with a grand
gymnasium, but just one mom
ent please.
We had a fairly good fire eq
uipment before our last fire that
nearly ruined the Town and ev
erybody in it. Just suppose we
took the same interest in trying .
to put ourselves in a position that
another catastrophe like the last j
fire oould never get the best of
our fire equipment and crew to
fight it off, by having enough
men trained in the fire fighting
maneuvers and suitable equip
ment to meet the demand should
it arise.
Most small towns, and even the
rural districts have equipment ■
and a volunteer department or
company who take an interest in
preparing themselves to go into
battle knowing that they have a
good chance to win, if confidence j
and ability will do it, and those j
others who are property owners!
think enough of protecting their!
i
property to do their utmost to 1
make things agreeable and satis
factory for the fire fighting crew,
by giving them good quarters to
live in, a good mess house to eat
in, the latest and best equipment
to handle, practice and fight with
when the demand is made on
them, try and make the position
a desired one, with many more
applications for memberhip than
can be accomodated.
Now, My dear Mr. Nosey I am
going to ask you to try and give
us a little publicity for the pur
pose of promoting a volunteer
fire department so that we all may
have a chance to save our homes
and property in case the fire dem
on should visit us again.
You have been successful in
getting full houses at the ball
games, have worked up quite a
sentiment in the Queen Carnival
Contest, would it be asking too
much of you to use a little of (
your talent in assisting us to or- j
ganize and equip a good volun-!
teeer fire company here in this
town to protect the property and
lives of our citizens?
We must remember all play
and no work will make Jack a
dull boy, just as well as all work
and no play will, so it behooves
us to try and ometimes think of
our duty as good citizens, and not I
only think of amusement.
Now I have a little book that
might assist you in helping us
as well as yourself if it is possible
to get you to look at this subject
as I do and many others, but it
seems no one has the opportunity
or maybe the ability to promote
as successfully as you certainly j
have all the projects you have
tackled, so, I am begging of you
to consider this my appeal to
you for your assistance in trying
to get us on our way in starting
our Volunteer Fire Company and
acquiring the necessary equip
ment to make us second to no
other city or town in Alaska.
We have the men, the wall, the !
strength, and with the financial j
help, which is here, we believe
when called on and nocessary j
providing we prove that we are j
worthy and have half the interest
that is shown in playing ball, |
dancing, dog racing and all other ,
kinds of sports. This is really a
necessity and should be provided
first, then we could have a good
team to enter all the sports and
show how the fire laddies keep
in trim for their duty when call
ed on to fight fire, or even sacri
fice their all in the performance
of their duty.
Hoping this may interest you
as much as the ball games and
dog races and try and give us a
boost to get started, I am sure
you will not be sorry. I thank you.
Yours truly, A Wouldbe Vol
unteer,
