REAL ACcOMPl PlISHMENT
IS THE SALVAGE SHOP

Although the Salvage Shop" or
ganized and now operating under the
supervision Of Miss Hazel thinner
man, U. S. government home demon
stration agent, is still in it's infancy,
the good work has already made its
presence felt in Rays environs.
Housewives who availed themselves
of the privilege of consulting Miss
Zimmerman have found a way out Of
the perplexities of remodeling gar
ments. The use of commercial pat
terms, cleaning of clothes and other
interesting subjects of like nature,
have been taken up in the course re-
Gently commenced
To further aid in the distribution of
the knowledge, Miss Zimmerman has
announced that she will gladly devote
some of her evenings for demonstra-
tions to those who find it impractical
BILE to attend the day sessions in the
Guild house or the Boyd Heights
church. The first of such meetings
was held on Wednesday night and
was attended by many who have been
prevented mainly by reason of other
employment, frfom attending the COM
plete day course.
AS an illustration of the work be-
ing undertaken, Copper Camp next

DEMON FIRE HAS
BRAND NEW ENEMY

Rayites need have no fear Of fire in
future. A new chemical auto-enginc
arrived in town last week. 1t is equip
ped with modern, large chemical tanks,
portable (hand) tanks, ladders, hose
land other up-to-the-minute equipment
with which the local fire department
plans to work. irl
The engine is one of two purchased
by the Ray Consolidated Copper com
pany. One is placed at Hayden's dis
posal, the other will remain here.
Pending the erection of a suitable
building to furnish 'proper housing for
the machine, the company garage is
now being used for it's storage.
Under the control of T. R. Sundberg,
fire chief, and captained by Charles
M. Kinsey the local fire department
is now ready to handle any con-
occasioned by fire. The addi.
ton of this modern equipment will
serve to remove the handicap under
which our fire-fighters were forced to
labor heretofore.
1t is considered likely that a reduc-
ton in insurance rates may follow as
the result of the new fire-destroying
outfits arrival. While opinion is not
agreed upon this point, it will to d
certainty be a comfort to Rayites, who
are now assured of the best that the
field offers in the fire-fighting line!

In their anxiety to have every
school child pass it's grade at the end
of the term, the trustees have been
compelling a Saturday morning at
tendance. The inroads made by the
flu were so serious that such action
was considered imperative 1t has
been found, however, that there are a
number of children who are allowed
by their parents to stay away from
the Saturday lessons.
Were such action to result in just
those children being deprived of SO
much increased work the laxity in
Saturday attendance would not be as
serious as it is. Those who did not
attend the Saturday lessons are com
