.Luth. Parsonage
 Hit By Flames
 Early This A. M,
Blaze Results from Defect i've Fireplace-Repairs
 Begun Immediately

Making up for Juneau's recent fireless weeks, the fire boys were called out twice this morning. The first call, at 7:10 o'clock was from the Lutheran Parsonage over the Resurrection Lutheran Church at Third and Main Strets where smouldering flames creep ing into the walls and under the second floor last night from the defective living room fireplace, this morning burst forth at full pitch to completely gut the living room and somewhat damage the dining room, which is connected by the fireplace to the living room.
 Smelt Smoke
 The Rev. and Mrs. John L. Cau- ble first smelled smoke from the flames under the floor at 2 o'clock in the morning. but at that time could not locate the source of the smoke.
 Prompt and efficient action by the firemen after they were called to the scene this morning resulted in the removing of all the furniture and personal effects of the Cauble family from the burning apartment without damage.
 Baby Sleeps On Nine -months-o John Robert Cauble found the fire to be only an interruption to his slumbers, and, after being safely carried to the Hotel Juneau lobby, promptly ig- nored the rushing firemen and spec totors and took up his sleeping again where it hadbeen broken into The flames were extinguished by the Fire Department after battle of one hour and twenty minutes and this morning at 10 o'clock trus- tees of the Lutheran Church met to decide on action to be taken. Ii was determined that repairs are to be commenced immediately under the direction of Hans Berg, who estimates that repairs will cost very nearly one thousand dollars.
 Sunday Services
 The fireplace, the source of the blaze, is to be torn out, timbering and wiring replaced. It is expected that the lower floor church auditor ium will be ready for services Sun- day morning.
 The Rev. Cauble, wife and their son, who had just completed get ting established in the apartment this week after their arrival from the South to take over the post left by the Rev. Erling K. Olafson, have been temporarily located in one ot the Knutson Apartments, on Will loughby Avenue, until their parson- age shall have been repaired. Much of their furniture was this morning moved into the residence and busi- ness building of George Anderson nearby.
 The building was completely cov- cred by insurance, held by the Luth- eran Brotherhood National Offices at Chicago.
 The second fire this morning which called the firemen out at 8:20 o'clock, was very small chim- ney blaze at Guy Smiths Drug Store on South Franklin Street It was extinguished within about twenty minutes, without damage.

Discussion No. 3

CONSTRUCTIVE WORK: l. Discuss arrangements with the children for Safety Poster Con- test.
 LESSON:
 l. Discussion with the children the value of Traffic Laws.
 (a) The purposes of these laws are for their protection and that they should OBEY THESE LAWS
 GAME: Use of the model inter- section. ..
 1. Players-Appoint one player for the Traffic Policemen-two players for the Fire Engine Gone player to stand behind the other with his hands on the first play CTS shoulders). The Fire Engine comes when least expected-but no. too often, as the game becomes more familiar to the group. The rest of the players are divided into two groups or teams-one known as pedestrians and the other motor vehicles. Captains may be appoint ed for each side, each choosing his own players.
 2. Object of Game-The object of the game is for each player to observe and obey the Traffic Sig nals, keeping his eyes on the officer and not depending on the other fellow.
 3. Rules and Points of Play-All must watch carefully for the sig nal. If 1t is given east and west all motor vehicles and pedestrians going in that direction must move quickly, as they do on real high. way. If the first signal is giver north and south, then all motol vehicles and pedestrians begin tt move who are going in that direc. ton. Motor vehicles may give g signal and turn around the Traffic Offlcer. The stream of trafflc irI motion cannot stop while the signal is open, but the moment it is changed any player who crosses the line loses one point for his side and becomes a Casualty" He still continues in the game though. Pe- destrians who run and who poke (holding the traff1c back) also score as Casualty" When the Fire Engine bell is heard the Traffic Offlcer gives the signal for all nov ing to stop. Motor vehicles are to move over to the curb of sidewalks and stop and pedestrians stay on sidewalks. All players who disobey are counted as Casualties"
 1. OFFICIALS: Two scorers are needed-one for the pedestrian Casualties" and the other for the Motor Vehicle Casualties" The traffic officer is the umpire of dis puted points. -.
 5. The game is played in five to ten minutes. The team wins which has the least number of Casualties at the end of the given time.
 It adds greatly to the interest of the game to post the score in sight of the players, on a blackboard, or bulletin or a large paper.
