 Although fremen concentrated their efforts in the store, the fire worked It's way up to the second floor. Ladders were raised to both the second and third floors in pre- paredness for q long battle and to head tho advance of the flames, only one tenement was damaged.
 Tho families involved in the ex- citcment included Thomas Nichols. Thomas OConnor, with two chill dren at home and flve in St Mary's school; Michael Murphy, Mrs Margaret Bender and five children, James Constante, third floor, six children, three at school and three at home.

HARD WEATHER ON NEEDY FAMILIES
Disposition to Help All Who Make Their
 Wants Known

Enough good things to eat, sufii- cieDt clothing and plenty of fre1 are among the essentials to living conditions in this kind of weather. Some of these are lacking in many homes and as result there is much suffering, especially where there arc old folks and small children, And yet there is an abundance for everybody, and disposition to pass it around, but somehow there appears to be something the mat ter with the system of distribution for which 1t Is not possible to place responsibility.
 one source of this trouble ig due to disinclinatlon on the part of some to make known their wants to those in a position to give re- lief. and people in position to know of families that are suffering for food or fuel should not hesitate to report such cases to the officials.
