BUILDING IS
DESTROYED
Blaze in Catholic Church, Early
Day Structure, Discovered
Early in Morning.

FRAZER - The Frazer Catholic
church was destroyed by fire at 3
Sunday morning. The origin of the
fire has not been determined. This
church was one of the Oldest build
ings in Frazer and was built in July,
1910, by William Brough. 1t was of
wood construction, the cost of ma
terials in 1910 amounting to $500.
The fire was discovered by M. A.
Lien at 3 and he then sent in the
alarm over the phones but no eff
forts were made to combat the blaze
as it was we'll beyond control of any
bucket brigade.
The building was totally consumed
by the blaze in about 40 minutes
and the flames could be seen for
several miles. One witness stated
that he was observing the fire from
a half mile distance and he heard
the church bell ring as it tumbled
into the blaze.
1t was said that the building was
covered by insurance but the amount
at present is not known. Efforts r
now being made to raise funds for
the construction of a new church.
The last services held in this church
were on the day before the fire,
Saturday.

Be SURFACED
City, County Also Will Join to
Build Improved Road
to Airport.
Plant Mix Street Project Will
Cover Courthouse to Civic
Center Area.

Two major improvements will
soon be under way in GLASGOW, 1t
was announced by Mayor E. j.
Kjelstrup, following a joint meeting
CT the city countil with Valley
county commissioners Tuesday
night.
Surfacing of eight blocks CT city
streets with a plant mix bitumin-
GUS mixture, some preliminary work
on which was done last year, will be
completed this summer, the mayer
said. The county is cooperating, in
asmuch as streets on three sides of
the courthouse are included in the
project.
The officials also agreed on con-
Struction of a new road to the air
port just north of town. They view
ed two proposed routes Tuesday
night. One would leave Highway 2
near the fairgrounds corner and
follow a coulee to the bench. A sec
ond would be an extension east
from the present golf course road
further west. The project is now
definite but no decision has yet been
made On the route.
lO Dc DidChtOppcu
Streets on which surtacfng will be
done, besides the courthouse sec
ton, are Fourth avenue south from
Sixth street to the civic center
Third street from the civic center
block to Second avenue and Third
avenue south from the civic center
to the library corner.
The old road on Third avenue is
being eXcavated with an elevating
grader, to be replaced with a gravel
Subbase. Some subbase has been
on other streets.
The council will call for bids on
the surfacing. Officials felt that it
a favorable time for the work,
the mayor added, inasmuch as the
Construction company is
now setting up a mix plant here
for other work.
The surfacing will be financ-
ed with money from the street fund
and no special assessment will be
levied on property owners.
City forces Tuesday completed a
sidewalk from the civic center block
east to Fifth street, giving much
better access to the center from
downtown.

How to Send Letters
The New V-Mail Way
BY JANE MOWERS

YBODYS TALKING
about the new v 49, Mail that
has been adopted by the United
States government to speed up
correspondence between you and
your overseas serviceman.
Seems too good to be true -.
letters from Ireland in eight
days flat and some from Aus
tralia in nine, war or no war.
Outlines letter comes through
in record time, less than seven
days.
Even more important than the
time-saving feature is the space
conservation angle in mail-car-
rying planes. For instance. S.
600 letters, Australian-bound,
weigh one ton.
Before they leave this country
those letters are on microfilm
instead of paper, and from 1000
pounds their weight is reduced
TO 20. Ninety-nine per cent is
saved. Not Peanuts, is it?
Special Letter Forms
Here's how you go about II.
There are special letter forms.
available in local stationary de-
partments. These letter forms
contain a full sheet of writing
! space, plus heading border on
which both your name and ad-
dress and his must be printed.
Use typewriter, dark ink or
pencil for your letter-writing
and make the writing legible.
Very small writing won't do at
all.
Then fold the letter up. as
directed. into envelope shape.
Seal il, address it TO the soldier,
sailor or marine, stamp it and
drop it into the nearest mail
box.
incidentally, the cost is the
same for all letters =. 3 cents

Mattress Care

WITH INNERSPRING mat
tresses no longer being manu-
featured, housewives are urged
to take good care of their
present springfield sleeping
equipment.
Following are a few simple
rules which should be observed.
l. Never beat or roll an inner
spring mattress.
2. Turn the mattress at least
every two weeks.
3. Check the. mattress for
loose seams, broken springs, or
other suspicious humps or hol-
lows. Have repairs made at once
before the spring unit is further
damaged.
4. Don't forget to check the
condition of the bed spring.
A poor spring foundation will
ruin the best OF innerSpring
mattresses.
