Cornerstone Laid For New CV Firehall

On March 15, 1950 during a brief ceremony the cornerstone was set in place at the new Cumberland Valley Hose Company building. Russell Lerew, company president gave a brief speech witch included the history of the company. A copper box was placed in the stone by Mr. Lerew witch included a history of the company, pictures of the old building and of the proposed new building, a recent issue of The News Chronicle and a roster containing the entire membership of the company.

That is what is supposed to be behind the box, so if yoo should happen to back the truck or trengine into it and break it open, make me copies of the things that are in it.
