dents well enough to call them by
their first names. This stimulates
class discussion. he explained.
The lesson is first outlined by Mr..
Mahon. After that, he attempts,
through class discussion, to bring
out specific points that had been
mentioned in general terms in the
initial Presentation. One feature
of the approach is to take problem
as stated in the Bible and then re-
late it to current events.
An unusual recent practice of the
class has been to discuss interna-
tional affairs before the formal
meeting opens. In these talks, Rep
,resentative Mahon utilizes his ex-
perienceS on Capitol Hill to furnish
background for the discussion under
way.
Both in these talks and in the
class sessions he said the aim is to
be practical and to develop the
thought that Christianity is the only
hope of the world. with each of us
needing more of it to lead happier
lives.

control organizations under the
state law which permits cOun-
ties to appoint county and dis
trict rural fire chiefs, and ap-
propriate funds to purchase
needed equipment.
While these counties are we'll

Cleaning up all trash and rub
Dish about the farmstead, ploW-
ing fire guards around build
irrs and hay stacks. checking
home heating equipment to be
sure it is in safe condition for

trical wiring and equipment are
among the things that may be
done BY the individual to help
