Your chief didn't get his knowledge sitting on his duff. Your county fire school (which Captain Hreha helped to set up 15 years ago) is equal to Phildadelphia's.

You have equipment Philadelphia doesn't have. If officiate of your town don't get behind your firemen and give them equipment, God help this community." To give the taxpayers some idea of the tremendous financial burden they would have with paid firemen, Captain Hreha said it takes $325,000 a year to run his fire station with its paid personnel. "The council members should back your volunteer firemen -100 per cent. The dollar is tight, but if you had to pay firemen it would come out of one person's pocket the taxpayer. Try to operate just one fire company with paid firemen.

You'd go broke hiring them." He added that the volunteer firemen in Mahanoy City, with five companies, altord tne borough denser fire protection coverage than Philadelphia, where there are 20 to 25 serious fires every day. Captain Hreha also praised Borough councils and taxpayers should get down on their knees in thanksgiving for volunteer firemen. This is the way Philadelphia Fire Captain Edward Hreha feels about the coal region firemen who devote a significant portion of their lives serving without pay as guardians of their community's life, limb and property. Captain Hreha expressed his sentiments on Saturday night at the 82nd anniversary banquet of the Mahanoy City Good American Fire Company, affectionately known as "The Dutehies." "It galls me to hear the word amateur used in reference to volunteer firemen," said the captain, who has command of Philadelphia Engine Company 77 at the Philadelphia Airport. In Captain Hreha 's book there is no such thing as an amateur.

Just because they receive no pay doesn't make these volunteers any less expert in fire-fighting, he said. For example, he said the recent major fires in Mahanoy City's business district would have been seven-alarm blazes in Philadelphia. And yet the conflagrations were conquered without the loss of a life, which he believes is "the biggest commendation you can give your fire chief," who is responsible for the safety of every man engaged in the fire operation.

Area happenings Dollars Ami Sense By Ed Baskeyfield of $2500 the ladies raised for the company in the last three years, and Captain Hreha commented, "I wish my wife would start an auxiliary, and maybe I wouldn't have to go to the airport manager and ask him to buy things." The need for youth is another concern of Captain Hreha. He asked the older firemen not to ignore teenagers striving to get into a company.

"If you discourage the youth, imagine what you're going to have. You'd better have some guys without crutches to keep going." Extending greetings to the Mahanoy firemen from his boss, Commissioner Rizzo, Captain Hreha reminded that the firemen and ambulance men, who generally are the same group, "are the last big group of volunteers we have in the country today. Council and the taxpayers ought to get on their knees and say thanks for them." Rev. Fred Crawford of Christ Lutheran Church presided at invocation and Rev. John Engler of St.

Fidelis at benediction. Ken Weeks made introductions. Chairman John Rooney extended welcome, and Attorney John Lieberman was the master of ceremonies. After the "Natural Sounds" finished their dance music and the last guests departed from St. Joseph's Hall, Captain Hreha and his wife joined a group of friendly folks from the Dutehies in a continued fellowship session at the Dutehies' beautiful black-lighted cellar lounge, featuring the nostalgic big band sounds of Glerji Miller on stereo tapes.
