Asides s By Mary Parker \Way Back When\ recently carried news of 90 years ago, when Pulaski's Ringgold Fire Company carried through an idea to have a county fire department organization. The first convention (in Pulaski) wass a huge success, with even the reluctant Mexico \fire ladies\ deciding, at the last minute, to take part. They then proceeded to win one of major prizes for attending groups that's irony! Pulaski long had two fire companies, however, with the Tollner Co. funding and equipping its own company. The Tollner Co. was a very large business, with a complex of buildings in the present Maple Avenue-Furnace Street area. A picture of each member of the fire company hangs in the Pulaski Public Library, and the workers and members of the company were well-known in the village. It is understandable that they would respond to the many fire calls with facility and pride, which they did. Today, our own Ringgold Fire Co., although unable in 1881, when the Pulaski business section (\downtown\) burned, to save the area, responds quickly and efficiently to calls from Oswego County Fire Control for rescue aid or fire fighting. We marvel at their speed and ability to assess the needs of the people, whether for NOCA or Niagara Mohawk aid, Coolners \under fire\ is usually applied to armies, but certainly relates to Ringgold Fire Company, its leaders and its men. At AJ's fire recently, nearly 50 firemen came to help. Many of us in the area, through use of scanners, attending open houses or going to the fire's, have learned about the \jaws of life\ \Scott Paks\ and the \deluge\. (Could the latter be called \giving the fire the \gun\?). Anyone who sets or calls in a fire or rescue effort, which doesn't exist, should be given community service to assist for a year at rescue calls and deadly fires. But possibly, the firemen would rather use the \deluge\ on them. If so, a lot of us out here would like to help. Ringgold and other area companies are volunteers who are serving their community well. We salute them! Announces Sponsorship Monday, September 22, 1986 Banner Times-Page-5 JCC Workshop Schedule The Pulaski Da> Care Cenier Inc.

From The Office Of Assemblyman Ray Chesbrc AIMING FOR A SAFE FALL HARVEST For most of us, fall is the time for donning our sweaters, enjoying long rides in the country, to admire the foliage, and, of course, Monday- Night Football, If your career happens to be farming, however, fall is the time for harvesting com crops for winter feed. In a bygone era, this massive job was primarily ac- complished through sheer muscle power, but that is no longer the case. Farming has long since become a highly sophisticated and mechanized occupation, and that cer- tainly is the case with fall harvesting. Since the week of September 21 through September 27 has been proclaimed as National Farm Safety Week by President Reagan, I felt that it would be appropriate for this week's column to list some of the important harvest safety tips recom- mended by the National Safety Council. They include the following: - The operator's manual that came with equipment should be read, and the operating, maintenance and safety instructions should be understood and followed when operating the quip- ment. Also, the safety decals that are on the machinery should be followed by family members and paid workers alike. - Before servicing, adjusting or clearing equipment, all machines should be stopped and engines turned off. Make sure that all parts have completely stopped rotating, especially cutterheads and blowers. Headers and platforms should always be blocked before working under them. - Stay clear of PTOs and other drives while they are in motion, and check safety guards daily. Keep guards in place, and be sure to replace them after service work. - Always drive carefully, especially when visibility is limited or ground conditions are poor, avoiding ditches, obstructions, overhead poweriines and slopes. - Do not take passengers, and keep children and other non-workers out of the harvest field and away from the equipment in use. - Use hand signals, and work with extra caution when hitching or moving machinery. - Watch out for moldy silage - use a filter respirator - as many people have or develop allergies from these molds. - Assume that nitrogen dioxide gas has built up in newly filled silos. Install and use silo blowers for ven- tilation, and leave the outer door and windows open to minimize gas accumulation. - Obey all traffic laws when moving equipment on public roads, and before driving on them, check the hitch, load, lights and slow-moving vehicle emblem. - Make sure that appropriate clothing and protective equipment are worn for the task and environment. It is important that clothing fits properly and has no loose ends that can be caught up in moving machinery. - Take occasional work breaks to help reduce fatigue. - And remember, alcohol and harvesting do not mix. I would like to suggest that you clip this column from the paper and tack it up in a handy and conspicuous place to be used as a reminder. Although harvesting the crop is obviously a top priority, an even more im- portant priority is the health and well-being of you, your family and workers. Have a good fall, a good harvest, and above-all stay healthy. J'AJOJTL LhsL OhchivsA By Marie K. Parsons From The Files Of The SAND* CRKKK \KWS 100 YEARS AGO- September 23, 1886 Wm.
