The need for assistance at the Shawsheen fire convinced the local fire authorities that they were not wrong in asking for a new pump at town meeting. During the summer the new engine arrived, and it has played an important part in fires since then. All the old apparatus is still being used. Above, Chief Emerson is shown beside the new pump shortly after it was delivered.

Emerson described as the worst fire since he took over the reins of the depart went nearly two decades ago took place in Shawsheen village on May 19, with a half dozen other towns sending apparatus here to save a score or more houses in the path of the blaze from a large lumber shed at the rear of the Hardy Brilsh factory. Damage was estimated at $50,000. A number of houses were scorched by the intense heat.

Andover went Atlantic cityish twice during the year with the local Legion post conducting a Miss Andover contest in the spring and a Shawsheen group conducting a Miss Shawsheen contest later. Winner of the Miss Andover award was Mrs. Mary Slavin of North Main street, left above, and winner of the Miss Shawsheen title was Miss Lucille Guihnette, right above, a resident of South Lawrence.
