Fire Department Appeal

Newburyport Daily News – March 20, 1954

To the people of Seabrook and friends of surrounding towns: In the past the fire department has done as much as possible to create a sports program for the children of Seabrook.

We have used money from our own treasury and solicited funds from other sources.

We still have a lot to be done for our children and it involves a great deal of money.

We realize that we, the fire department, cannot handle this alone, so, to further sports in the town of Seabrook we have arranged a great wrestling program bringing together Gypsy Joe Gonzales vs. Jesse James; Gus Johnson vs. Ray Walker; two lady wrestlers, Alma Mills vs. Jean Hogan.

The show will be presented Monday night at 8:30 in City hall.
