NEW E2qGLAI’qD ASSOCIATIOI’,I OF ~FIRE C}ilEFS
This afternoon, I met a lovely lady, and I want to say that I have met
many since 1936 at these conventions.; but, I was thrilled, in arriving at this
head table tonight, to be asked to do this honor.
At this time, I should like to have Mrs. William E. Powers come
forward to this tablet
Mrs. Powers, the ladies of this. Convention have accepted you, and they
want you to feel a part, from here on, o; this glorious organization! (Applause.)
I have this little gift for you, which the ladies wish me to present to
you. I was going to say that I would open it, but I want you to describe it
~or us,
But perhaps I will tell you what it is; it is a set of gold earrings.; but,
to us, they are more than just earrings; they are the five gold trumpets of the
Fire Chief.
Mr. Palmer then presented to Mrs., Powers the gold earrings’. (Applause.)
MR. PALZ~rR: Now, if Chief Keefe and Chief Savage will come up here
and help us to distribute the gi;ts that are waiting for you good people out.
there, we will try to get these to you quickly. And I wantyou to know it is
Jack’s birthday! (Applause.) -
PRESIDENT FORTIER: And don’t £orget, it’s -Andy’s birthday, too.
CI~I~F PALM~.R: While they are getting ready, it is time for me to announce
that we have a Dalmatian puppy that we are going to give away tonight.
(The prizes were then drawn, and the Dalmatian puppy was drawn last,
the puppy going to Chief A. R. Capelli of Johnston, Rhode Island.)
(The Banquet meeting was adjourned at 10:15 o’clock and dancing was
enjoyed for balance of the evening in the Ball Room.)
