The Askov fire department made
short work of a roof fire discovered
after 8 o'clock yesterday morning.
Burning SCOT from the chimney ig-
nited the dry shingles and was for
tunately noticed by Mr.. Gravesen be-
fore it gained any Roadway. The de-
partment was on the job about
minutes after the sounding of the
alarm and five minutes later it was
all over. There was very little dam
age to the building from either water
or fire. Possibly Harold Dietz suf-
fered the most as he happened to be
on the roof and in the direct path of
the stream from the hose when the
water was turned ON. He says there
can come a terrible lot of water out
of that little nozzle in very short
time.
Heard at the ladies' social: What
makes you positive that Miss ------
is over forty?" "She is beginning to
wear hats suitable for girl of 49,"
