Benefit This
Sat. Night
Ray Porter, chairman of the
annual Mill City Firemen’s
Benefit said this week that
most everything was in readi­
ness for the Saturday evening
festivities.
Anyone still wanting tickets,
or wishing to make a donation,
may call Ray Porter or any
of the firemen.
This benefit is looked for-
ward to by all area residents
and not only gives them a
chance to win their holiday
turkeys and hams but assists
the fire department in their
maintenance and repairs. Peo­
ple here are reminded that the
better fire department the City
has, the lower the fire insur­
ance rates will be.
The evening fun and festivi­
ties will feature dancing to live
music, prizes, concessions, lots
of good food and will be clim­
axed by the drawing at mid­
night for the big prize winner
of a $100 bill.
