Time Is Ripe To Organize Fire District The time is ripe for creating a rural fire district at Platts mouth, Mayor Clement Woster told the Plattsmouth Volunteer Fire Department Tuesday night, when the department considered its obligations in fighting fires outside the city limits. Brought about by the depart ment's plans to assist Offutt Air Base in an Air Disaster network, the issue stemmed from discus sion of the obligation of the department at home first, and outside the city second. The limited fire fighting pow er of the department and the growing limits of the city hint that the department must con centrate on protecting property within the city. In addressing the department, Mayor Woster, also a fireman, explained that now is the time to lay the groundwork for or ganizing a rural fire district. It would be for the best protection of the city and would also in sure rural farm families of avail able equipment. Woster suggested that a com mittee be established to deter mine the best method for or ganizing a district, and that i farmers throughout the area be I interrogated as to whether or I not they would be interested in j the program. The mayor backed Howard Hirz's ideas that the department must constantly be aware of po tential fire hazards in the city. Growth of the community de mands greater attention locally, the mayor said.
