THE SUNDAY SCHOOL

Several changes we're made this
week in our Sunday school teaching
force. Miss Edison and Mrs. Brown
have been assigned to the primary de-
partment, Miss Baldwin to the junior
department, and Mr.. Madison to the
intermediate department. For the pres
.ent Mrs. BranfOrd is acting in the ca
pacity of junior superintendent Miss
Darline Rease has Deen appoIated Or
ganist and Miss Georgia Johnson will
take charge of the Sunday school
records. Other changes contemplated
include the organization of two addi-
tional senior classes, one each for boys
and girls. This will necessitate other
changes in the teaching force. There
was a full attendance this week at
teacher meeting, excepting Mr.. Cash,
who is yet kept at home by the ILL
ness of his wife, and Miss Thrashley.
There was noted improvement last
Sunday in the attendance though we
have not yet quite reached the normal
for this season of the year. We are
praying and expecting that during the
Campaign" every child of responsible
age will be led to make decision for
Christ To this end the teachers are
energetically working. We look to see
a great baptizing on Easter day.
A great Sunday school institute will
be held during the week of February
18, under the direction of five of the
worlds greatest Sunday school lead
ers. We expect our teachers to at
tend in body. This is an opportunity
of lifetime.

TO CONSERVE FUEL

Mr.. O. G. S%undberry. Chairman Of
Parish Fuel Administration, is in
receipt Of a letter from John e.
O'kelley. Federal Fuel Administra-
tor for Louisiana, which reads as
follows:
owing to the acute condition i'll
The coal situation, brought about
by the increased demand for coal
and the inability of the supply to
meet these demands. thereby caals-
ing an apparent shortage of about
fifty million ton of bituminous
coal, the conservation OF coal, eli
animation of waste, and the substi-
tuition of other fuels must be en-
couraged in every way possible.
Il have had called t o my atten-
which might be used by industrial
plants or by hOuse-holders as fuel.
in the burning Of slabs at the saw
mills. These slabs are burned by
the mills in order to get them out
OF their way, and while a number
of the mills are disposing Of these
slabs to fuel users. only a very
small percentage is being used in
this way and the majority is destroy
I'd by burning.
You will please investigate this
matter in each Of your districts.
and see if some plan might not be
adopted by which these slabs may
be used for fuel purposes in the
place of coal. You understand that
it would not relieve the coal situa-
ton if coal cars are to be used in
the shipment Of this material
throughout the State. but other
kinds Of cars might be used. and
wherever possible to do so the ma
terial should be hauled from the
sawmills by wagons or trucks, so as
10 relieve the railroads as much as
possible. In some cases the s---
mills, themselves, might provide
cars of their own. which could be
used to handle this material.''
