Fire Threatens Norridgewock
Church

The efficiency of the new triple
combination fire truck, chemical and
pump was well demonstrated to the
townspeople when on Friday evening
about $50 an alarm of fire was runS
from the bell at the Baptist church.
The prompt arrival of the fire truck
and its quick service saved the
church edifice and no one knows how
much of the surrounding properties
which would have been endangered
had the church burned. Much credit
is also due to Mrs. l.. ID. Tibbetts.
wife of the former pastor, who dis
covered the fire and lang the bell
until help arrived. Mrs. Tibbetts
with her daughter, was walking past
the church when she was attracted
by considerable volume Of smoke
at the rear of the building. Her first
thought was that there was bon
fire. or possibly a train at the sta
ton caused the smoke. But she
decided to investigate further and
discovered that dense smoke was roll
ing from an open basement door,
where the church furnace is located.
She at once unlocked the church
which was even then filed with dense
smoke, and rang the bell until she
was nearly over come with the smoke
and exertion. The fire company had
a difficult proposition - locate the
fire in the dark basement. already
filled with clouds of smoke. but it
was finally discovered to he smolder-
ing in a pile of furnace wood. How
the fire could have started 10 a
mystery as the building was unused
and unoccupied since toe preceding
Sunday. Sheriff Mooers of Skowhe-
gan came up to investigate the mys-
FERROUS circumstances Of the fire, but
there We're no clues ST. long enough
to be followed up. 1t Is hardly
thought that the fire was Of incen-
diary origin. but that possibly it
might have been set by careless boys.
who might have gone into the cellar
to smoke. as the basement door has
been kept unlocked for sometime.
Beyond the loss Of the pile OF fur
mace wood. the damage was slight.
for altho the church was completely
filled with smoke. when Il was aired
out no serious damage resulted.

Florida Saves the Eqret

1.-THE American egret is coming back
thanks to the federal law that stopped
the marketing of its plumage and also
to the establishment of bird sanctuaries
Some years ago this beautiful white heron
was in danger of becoming extinct. Even in
our far South it was exceedingly rare and,
as conditions stood, was doomed. Then came
the protective legislation, soon followed by
conserving efforts in several States.
Florida is especially commended for tnter-
prises of this nature. In her sanctuaries,
writes Northern observer, the egret, mo
longer slaughtered in the mating season to
satisfy the commerce that dealt in it's feath-
ers, has had chance to multiply, and is
seen in increasing numbers" There, too,
'sthe pink curlew, sometimes called the ro-
seate spoonbill, is returning; while the gor-
geous cardinals and tanagers, the melodious
mockingbird, the bluebird and the waxwing
are all increasing" But the ibis and the
Hamingo "are gone forever-belp for them
came too late"
Georgia may we'll take note of the Florida
example. 1t pays a commonwealth to con
serve it's birds; pays in millions of dollars in
protection to growing crops, and intellectually
in the gaining of prestige and good will. The
time is near when State that does not look
after it's wild life, particularly its birds, will
be regarded as strangely ignorant and back
ward.

The Mosquito Inpasion

- HE severity of the mosquito onset in
the western Great Lakes region may be
inferred from this, that at Fond du
Lac, Wisconsin, a high school football team
forced by the invading insects to flee its
summer camp. Throughout that region news
dispatches tell, the biting swarms have scat
tered dismay, driving golfers from the links,
farmers from the field, and at length over
coming even the young huskies of the pig
skin. Though the University of Chicago re-
assuringy reports that only few anophe-
lene or Misunderstanding mosquitoes are
among the millions in the neighborhood of
that city, the beak of any mosquito brings
woe enough-and its song is almost as bad
as its bite.
Our Colonial forbears frequently found
mosquitoes hardly less formidable than Red
skins. jamestown once was abandoned be
cause of the epidemicals," as an old chron-
cler has it. That the sternest of Puritan
virtue was required to cope with these
Toes appears lTOu WlIlldn uSC-
laration: They are too delicate and unfit
ted to begin new Plantations and Colonies
that cannot endure the biting of a muskee-
to- Even today, after all the victories Of
sanitary science, some seven million Ameri-
cans are said TO suffer malarlal infection,
which oaly the genus anopheles transmits.
Exterminate such mosquitoes, and malaria
will cease, thereby opening a way to i'm
mense social and economic gains. For as it
is, farms and industrial plants lose millions
of dollars through the illness and lowered
efficiency of employees; towns which should
prosper and progress are kept lassing as

MOVIE MAD
BY HAZEL DEYO BACHELOR

What has gone before.-GIoria King

life Of false gayety. She is brought to
realization of where she is drifting when
she runs over a little boy. Just as she
makes plans for divorce, Rolf is seized
with pneumonia and the doctor 3ends
for her-Now go on with the story.
