Service Schedules Charles P. Hoffman. Friday, St. Pat's Benefit Dance Scheduled Reservations are moving fast for the annual St. Patrick's Day dance to be sponsored by the Coastal Real Estate Board liary March 17 in the Civic Center.

Mrs. Walter B. Mullikin, chiarman of ticket sales and reservations, said today close to 400 have already made reservations for the benefit affair which will be held from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Don Howard's Orchestra will provide the music.

Featured again this year will be the Irish Jig with prizes. Proceeds from the dance will be used for the Wicomico School for Retarded Children on Emerson Ave. Last year, a large room 25 by 50 feet was added to the school. Volunteers workers gave their time and donations of materials were given. What would have necessitated a mortgage was paid by the auxiliary.

This money came from proceeds from previous dances, which have been well attended. General chairman of the dance is Mrs. Harry Korff. Births Parents of sons born Wednesday in Peninsula General Hospital are Mr. and Mrs.

Floyd Upole Atlantic Mr. and Mrs. Thomas Dawson, Fruitland, and Mr. and Mrs. Alfred Lawson III, Crisfield.

Its chief use will be for fire alarms outside the city limits where there are no fire plugs and other sources of water are not handy. "With the 1,200 gallons of water in this truck, plus a supply of 500 gallons each in two regular fire trucks, the water supply could very well be enough to halt a fire that could spread rapidly without enough water available otherwise," Chief Taylor said. Several other fire companies in the county have already tained similar equipment. At times, Chief Wilson said, at rural fires outside the city limits, it has been necessary for Salisbury firemen to call on other campanies for their tank trucks. With this tank truck in service, he said, it won't be necessary for Salisbury to call on other companies so often, leaving their immediate area without the truck in case of a local emergency.

And, Chief Taylor said, it will be available if other companies need assistance. OUTTEN REMODELING SALE! STOREWIDE BARGAINS! FREE PARKING USE SIDE DOOR 5 PC.
