    IN HONOR OF THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF COLONIAL PARK FIRE CO. NO. 1

                                 ______


                          HON. GEORGE W. GEKAS

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 21, 1994

  Mr. GEKAS. Mr. Speaker, It is indeed a pleasure to recognize the 50th 
anniversary of a central Pennsylvania institution, the Colonial Park 
Fire Co. No. 1.
  Since its creation by a group of community-minded citizens in 
February 1944, the Colonial Park Fire Co. has been there in times of 
need for residents of Lower Paxton Township. During a half-century of 
service, the company has saved many valuable lives and hundreds of 
thousands of dollars worth of property.
  Of course, a fire department is only as strong as the people it 
protects, and the Colonial Park Fire Co. has been fortunate enough to 
serve a community of solid supporters who built the company from the 
ground up.
  I want to congratulate the Colonial Park Fire Co. for its 50 years of 
public service, and extend my best wishes for its future.
