WWII Years
During the WWII years, air raid duty became another community activity as part of the company's war effort. Fire prevention talks, which had been given at the schools, now became a community effort to advise the citizens of the dangers of hoarding gasoline and storing it inside buildings.
During WWII, Company No 1 purchased a $500 Defense Bond and voted to purchase a $25 Bond each month thereafter for the duration of the war. The attendance prize at the monthly meetings would now be war stamps. Donations for salvage drives would be underwritten and cash payments given to the person bringing in the most salvage.
