personnel.” “The location of the
ambulances is to be more cen-
trally located.”

“They are to be housed at
1055 Columbia Ave. soon, un-

less already doing so.” (These,

premises contained a car wash
at one time.)

“At present there is no
4-wheel drive ambulance, but a
well-equipped one will be pro-
vided in early fall.

“As far as we are con-
cerned, Mr. Wickett has given
very good service on our behalf.
It is our intention to carry on
with the same calibre of ser-
vice, if not even better,”
