This Day in History: 1949-11-13
The Masonicus Civic Association building was the scene of a dinner to benefit the Masonicus Fire Department. Mrs. Albert Norton led a committee of relatives and friends of the firemen in serving 165 people. Mr. Albert Norton, Chief of the Fire Company, announced that $135 had been raised. It was to go to buy raincoats, boots and helmets for the Masonicus fireman. Meanwhile, the Mahwah Township Committee was voting taxpayers money to buy similar items for Company #1, as well as a new magneto for one of their trucks. (Bristow)
