The members of the Te Awamutu Fire Brigade , assembled in force at the local station last night, when presentations were made to two members. Deputy-Superintendent John Dalton presented Fireman Alan Irwin, who is a member of the Second New Zealand Expeditionary Force, with a money-belt, while Superintendent H. J. Irwin gave Fireman Arthur Harris, who is about to remove to Auckland, a wallet. The speakers mentioned that both members had served the Brigade faithfully and well over a period of five years. Fireman Irwin brought the total number of local firemen now serving with the Forces up to ten—a record of which the Brigade was justly proud. The usual good wishes were extended to the recipients, both of whom suitably replied.
