HARRINGTON


attendance at the Interdenomina-
tional Sunday School Convention
for the Harrington District, held at
the NJ. e. Church, Tuesday after
noon and evening was very small.
1t seems the churches in the district
failed to have their full representa-
ton present and it is rather dis
couraging to the officers to carry on
without cooperation. The following
officers were elected: President,
Rev. James Langrell, farmington;
vice president, Frank Kitchens, Fell
ton; secretary, Albert 2. Curtiss,
Houston; treasurer, Robert Wix, of
Harrington; superintendent chill
dren's department, Mrs. Elizabeth
Bringhurst, FELTON,; young peoples
department, Kenneth Cool, Wyom-
ing; adult department, Rev. Thos.
Phillips, Harrington; superintendent
leadership training, Mrs. Alice N.
Wix, Harrington; superintendent
vacation and weekday schools, Hem
ry Fike, Greenwood. Additional
members of the executive committee
Marion Collins and c. Arthur
Taylor, Harrington; C. Elwood Tay-
lor, Houston, and A. B. Cade, Green
wood.
The local fire company responded
to their first call for December when
summoned to the home of George
McKnatt on Mechanic street. Quick
work on the part of the firemen
evoided a serious blaze and reduced
the property loss to about $500. A
broken flue pot allowed some wood
work near the chimney to become
ignited. The firemen found the CHM
ney very foul and to prevent an
other call for a chimney fire, the
company went upon the roof and
played a booster line in the Chin
ney.
