RESCUE ACTIVITY This past week has seen Barnstable Rescue Squad pretty much on the go with calls for transportation to and from the hospital. At dinner time on the 27th the men were asked to assist a patron at Mattakeese who had suffered a back Injury in a fall and take her to Cape Cod Hospital. A guest at the Harold Hulllhen home on Tonela Road needed the services of the squad for hospital transportation on Sunday. Monday the men assisted Dan Knott into his house after his return from the hospital, and they were called to the Richard Greer home in Barnstable. The squad's radio fund is growing, with the result that the men now have at least six receiving sets installed in their various homes which aids them In getting into action pronto when action is needed and minutes are often vital. The aim of the fund, of course, is to ultimately provide each of the 13 men on the squad with such a set (these cost approximately $120 each ) , and all contributions toward the fund are very very welcome.
