TOWN GOES "GARDEN MAD"
BUYING A FIRE-ENGINE The residents of Sedberglv Yorkshire, have no desii'e to emulate Nero. They will not be caught napping again with a fire threatening their existence. They are disgusted with their firefighting apparatus. They want a new fire engine costing £4OO, and in their spare time they are raising funds by growing and selling flowers and vegetables and attending whist drives. ; It was recently that a fire destroyed the town's electricity plan. So ineffi- i cient was the fire-fighting apparatus that other property and, in fact, the whole main street, were in danger until the arrival of the Kendal fire brigade,
A Garden Produce Association has been formed and Sedbergh has " gone garden mad." as one keen horticulturist puts it.
