Appeal to the women of Glenhaven

THE BUSHFIRE BRIGADE NEEDS THE HELP OF YOU LADIES This is an appeal to the ladies of the Glenhaven district from your own Volunteer Bushfire Brigade. Should the Brigade become involved in serious fires, many members are likely to be on the fire front for extended periods, and providing them with meals has been a problem in past fires. The Shire bushfire organisation will provide a mobile canteen to transport food and serve it, but they are not equipped to supply the food and perform such tasks as making sandwiches, etc. This is where you ladies can help us. We need a number of ladies who would be prepared to supply the ingredients and who would in time of fire set themselves up and prepare this food at the Bushfire Hut in Glenhaven Rd. The food could be prepared here, and we would arrange for it to be taken wherever it is needed. The Hut could also become an information centre from which news could be supplied about your husbands on the fire front. It is possible that we may even be able to set up radio reception there tuned to the frequencies on our tankers, so that you may follow our progress and through which we could inform you of our ration requirements. Will you come and talk with us about this? We are holding a meeting in the Bushfire Hut on Monday, Oct. 11 at 8 pm, especially to meet as many ladies as are willing to come along and tell us what they are prepared to do. The date: Monday, Oct. 11 The time: 8 pm. The place: Glenhaven Volunteer Bushfire Brigade Hut, Glenhaven Rd., 100 yards from Kyle Avenue. R. J. Jennings President
