SATURDAY, JULY 31, 1976
COMMENTING ON THE RECRUITMENT, A FIRE SERVICES DEPARTMENT SPOKESMAN SAID THE PROSPECTS FOR YOUNG MEN JOINING THE DEPARTMENT WERE VERY GOOD.
+EXPANSION OF THE DEPARTMENT OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS ENSURES PROMOTION PROSPECTS FOR THOSE WHO ARE PREPARED TO WORK HARD AND STUDY TO BECOME QUALIFIED FOR HIGHER POSTS,+ HE STRESSED. IN FACT, A LARGE NUMBER OF THE SERVING OFFICERS BEGAN THEIR CAREERS WITH THE DEPARTMENT AS FIREMEN OR AMBULANCEMEN,+
THE SPOKESMAN NOTED THAT A FIREMAN'S JOB WAS ONE THAT WOULD REQUIRE STRENGTH, INITIATIVE, COURAGE AND COOL-HEADEDNESS.
HE CALLED UPON YOUNG AND ENERGETIC MEN TO COME FORWARD TO JOIN THE FIRE SERVICES, WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST MODERN IN THE WORLD.
