Enfield and Trumansburg were steadily increasing in population. There were approximately 1,000 residents in Enfield at that time and now over 2, 500. In the early fall of 1947 a few men met with the Town Board to discuss the possi- bility of a volunteer fire company. They all agreed that fire protection would be a real asset to the community. They had meetings in the basement of Newhart's store and the old Town Board building, Speakers came to talk on insurance, building size and equipment. They spent many hours writing the Incorporation papers and By -Laws. At this time they were recruiting members. This was very easy as everyone was excited about having fire protection in the town. The land was donated and the construction services by many men agreed on before the Incorpora- tion papers were signed in February, 1948. The first election of officers was in January, 1948 and by April, 1949 there were over 50 members and by the time they broke ground for the building in June, 1949, they had about 100 members, During all this time, they had fund raising that consisted of two to three suppers a month - pancake, oyster and spaghetti suppers were put on at the Grange Hall; also ham raffles and scrap drives were happening. They raised about $1,000.00 before the building was started. • They broke ground for the station June 15, 1948. The Town bought a new power shovel, it was unloaded at the site and the excavation was done with this shovel. They purchased cinder blocks for the station August 20th - then the building really got started - the work was done by all the volunteers. On January 8, 1949 put rafters and roofers on, and on January 17 and 18 laid up the chimney. On January 30, 1949 - poured first section of floor in fire house. This was not ready -mix delivered and poured 4" thick. It was 6" deep and deeper in many places - whatever it took to come out level - no loose fill underneath - and all mixed, leveled and finished by hand. Last section of floor poured February 19th, The building was heated by wood and coal to keep it from freezing at night. On November 26th an oil burns, was installed. The electrical work was completed February 7, 1949, During this time fund raising was going strong, with women working along with the men to help. The first fire engine was purchased in July, 1949 from American LaFrance, A loan of $7,000.00 was taken at Farmers and Merchants Bank of Spencer. Thirty members signed the note. The fire engine was driven in the first Old Home Days parade July 5, 1949. There were floats and groups marching. Games and food were offered on the Enfield Center School yard. The first fire training school was attended by twenty men in May, 1949. The first fire was at Bostwick Corners in October, 1949. To call in a fire alarm, people called Newhart's store and they ran to the fire house and turned on the alarm, until March, 1951 when they could turn on thealarm in the store. Newhart's had one of the first private telephone lines in Enfield, because of this. The firemen marched in their first parade in Watkins Glen in 1951. In 1952 they purchased their first uniforms to wear when they marched. in July, 1953 the Women's -4- • Auxiliary was organized. They both have received many awards and trophies from their excellent appearance in the parades. In March, 1953 a fuel oil tank truck was purchased and the men converted it into a water tanker truck. Between 1952 and 1953 they purchased tents and supplies for the first Firemen's Field Days on June 12 and 13, 1953 - parade, ham supper at the Grange and fireworks. In 1953 a committee drew up a community land and road map of houses at that time. The firecompany is 34 years old now and many changes have occurred. From the basic requirements then of rubber boots and coats to two-way radios needed now, - all this progress makes for better service. New faces, new ideas, but still much work for the volunteers. The fire protection laws, the paper work and the required schooling has also become more stringent upon them. They are still growing to meet the needs of our community. (June Enfield News - History of the Enfield Valley Grange) Enfield School Parent Teacher Organization The Enfield School PTO meets the second Monday of the month at 7:30 p.m, at the school.

Churches In The Enfield Area The First Baptist Church of Enfield Center "Faith, hope, and love abide ... but the greatest of these is Love." In these weeks between Christmas and Valentine's Day - the great religious and secular celebrations of love - it is appropriate to remember Paul's heartwarming words to the Corinthians: "The greatest of these is love." Here is what we try to show and to share whenever we come together at the Enfield Baptist Church. In Sunday morning worship (at 11:00) we do not just talk about our love of God or God's love for us. We also renew the bonds of love among one another. Our "passing of the peace," where we stand up and greet one another, during the service, takes a little longer than in some churches because we really talk - and listen. Love is also expressed in our concern for our children. Younger children are welcome to a biblically -based church school at 10:00, where learning happens through doing; crafts and activities to teach the message of God's love for us and the whole world. Older children meet weekly for education and fellowship; right now, they are busy planning for a Valentine's Dance Party on Friday, February 8, from 7:30 - 10:00, at the Enfield Grange. Admission is $1.00; refreshments will be modestly priced. It promises to be fun and everyone is welcome! Plans for more intensive education for older youth are also under- way. -5- • Love was and is perhaps most supremely expressed at Easter, and planning for Lent has already begun, We will have an evening dedication service on Ash Wednesday, February 20th, at 7:30, and a special Easter Service at 11:00 on April 7th. Watch the news for special events on Maundy Thursday (April 4) or Good Friday (April 5) and early Easter morning: Our VCS last year was so much fun that we want to be sure to do it again this year! The dates have been set for the week of June 24 - 28. Watch the June Enfield News for more details! If you have any questions, or would like to take part in any of our activities, or need our help, please give us a call: Rev.

There is child care for infants and Sunday School for children weekly during the entire worship service. An additional worship service will be held each Sunday in March. Evening services will start at 7 p.m, throughout the entire month. The services will be musical, featur- ing area Christian musicians.

This means all dog owners will pay $7.50 per license instead of $5.00 for all spayed or neutered dogs, and $12.50 instead of $10.00 for all unspayed or unneutered dogs. Also a $5.00 impoundment fee went into effect as of January 1, 1985. This increase is due to the fact that the Town has had to pay the SPCA an increase for dog control services in 1985. All monies expended for dog control has to come from dog license revenues. Merton Inman has resigned as Town Justice and Jake Smithers has been appointed Town Justice to replace him. This appointment is thru 1985. This position will be filled for the remainder of Mart Inman's term, 2 years, at the general election in November. All house numbering in the Town will now be done by M. Clyde Hubbell. If anyone builds a new home or puts in a new trailer on a lot and needs a new number, you can contact_ him at 273-6470. After 10 lung years, the Town will be getting cable television. A cable TV franchise was granted to Haefele TV, Inc.

The initial cable set- up will run west on Route 79 (Mecklenburg Road) from Kennedy Corners junction with Sheffield Road to Rothermich Road, south .4 of a mile; south on 327 thru the Village of Enfield Center to the bottom of Porter Hill. It will run off of each intersection on Route 327 for a distance of .3 to .4 of a mile. It should service a little over 300 residences in this area. The election districts in the Town will be changed this year due to the County Reapportionment Plan that was approved last fall. Everyone will be informed of the new election district lines. There has been a great deal of concern over the odors coming from the Natural Lean Pork, Inc. (pig farm) operation from a large number of residents. The Tompkins County Health Department and state agencies are monitoring the operation closly and have given them several recommendations for correcting the problem. They are not supposed to move any more pigs onto the farm until these recommendations have been done to the satisfaction of the Tompkins County Health Department. The Tompkins County Health Department is keeping the Town Board informed on the problem and related matters. The Town Clerk's hours are: Monday 5:30 - 9:00 P.M.
