Constitution and By-Laws Committee also made a report and the same was adopted.  A sinking fund was opened and a total of $8.17 was collected.
            With the Carnival Committee formed, it was decided to hold a three-day carnival on August 15, 20 and 22.  A Ford Touring Car was approved for purchased to be raffled off on the last evening of the event.
            The meeting of August 3, 1925 was very productive for this newborn of sorts.  Mr. Rebman of Lancaster, PA was in attendance and offered to hold a fire works display free of charge to the Company on the last day of the carnival.  Patrons would be charged 15 cents admission by Mr. Rebman to cover the costs.  The assembled men agreed to hold such an event.
            Following, a motion was carried to accept on offer by the Reformed Church to house the hose in the Parsonage garage.  Temporary officers were relieved of their duties by an election of permanent officers.  The following were elected:

President – Morris Long
Vice President – Harvey Lineaweaver
Recording Secretary – Harry R. Wolfersberger
Financial Secretary – Henry I Aulenbach
Treasurer – Charles A Lenig
Trustees – David Sholly, Clarence Wagner, Harry Gingrich
Fire Chief – Charles S. Dissinger
1st Assistant – Martin Brandt
2nd Assistant – Paul I. Moyer
3rd Assistant – James G. Witman
4th Assistant – Elvin O. Miller

            A discussion thence followed regarding the purchase of fire hose for the Company.  It was decided that 750 feet of Eureka Interwoven Hose would be purchased from A. M. Brandt and Sons Hardware for the sum of $1.30 per foot.
            With the first carnival committee was appointed by the President to purchase the same.  Booths for the event included soft drinks and ice cream, hot dogs, canes, fruits, blankets, novelties, and cakes.  Harvey Lineweaver was put in charge of music.  He secured the Iroquois Band of Palmyra for two nights at $45.00 per night and the Colebrook Band for the other.  Another matter also was the appointment of three men to contact the Palmyra Fire Company to secure a hand chemical apparatus.
            The meeting held on September 21, 1925 accepted the application for charter and was approved by those assembled.
            The first year of the Fire Company’s existence was active.  Soon they would become a great center for community activities and an important organization in the community.  Their history is vast and in the year 2000, they celebrated 75 years of faithful and dedicated service.  In the sections and paragraphs that follow, there is a sampling of the many things, which this organization has experienced.  I hope it will bring back fond memories for some and new experiences for others.
