small fraction of their value to
American agriculture. Thousands of
farmers are using the lowly ever
green to anchor sand lands to pro-
tect the shifting soil from further
erosion.
With exception of the prairie
lands, virtually every state in the
union produces Christmas trees, at
least for local consumption.
In the West, Colorado and Mon
tana are the heavy exporters while
in the East, the New England states
compete with Canadian growers for
the American markets. Inland, the
heart of the Christmas tree country
centers on upper Michigan, north
ern Wisconsin and Mir lespta.

AS is the case with other services
given, farm placements services will
be without cost to either the en-
ployer or to the worker. The stand

Three + ourihs OF
arms Threatened
By Fire Hazards

Are you doing all you can to
locate and remove fire hazards
from your farm? Three out OF
four farmers are risking their
lives, their families, and their
property investments by permit
ting unnecessary fire hazards to
exist, says Helen Moves, Extension
Specialist in Home Management,
the State College of Washington.
Ask yourself these twelve ques-
tons and protect your farm home.
Is the chimney clean and the
mortar tight in all joints. Is a
fire resistant roof or chimney
spark arrestor used? Is there an
opening to the attic for making
fire inspections? Are unused flue
openings closed with incombust-
ible stops? Are the stove or fur
mace pipes in good condition,
clean and well-anchored? Are
metal containers used for ashes?
Are combustible walls, ceilings,
floors, curtains, wood boxes, rugs
and papers protected or a safe
distance from stove pipes, stoves,
furnaces or fireplaces? Are attic,
basement, and closets free from
old papers, rags or other rubbish?
Are matches safely stored and out
of reach of the children? Are oil
stoves of approved type, refueled
carefully, and operating safely?
Is neither gasoline or kerosese
used for starting fires? Is neither
gasoline or naphtha used for home
cleaning?
The easiest way to fight a fire
is to prevent it from starting.
Know the causes, remove the
hazards, and provide protection.

Gus type of forum, in weekly ses-
sions all over the land, are the
adult Bible classes. Because they
have a definite standard and OBJ
jective, they really get somewhere
in influencing the minds and the
characters Of their participants, as
they discuss the life of today in the
light of Holy Writ. 1t is this Bible
based factor which gives all Sun
day school teaching its UNIQUE
power.
From every point on the horizon
come voices of statesmen and
scholars and publicists and men of
affairs, proclaiming that only re-
ligion can save civilization. The
late Lord Lothian, then British
Ambassador to the United States,
declared:
THE root disease Of modern So
ciety Is its dethronement of re-
ligion as the governing motive In
society"
In a word, the shortest, simplest
and most practical method of sta
bilizing and preserving our countrys
historic heritage is by the old tested
method OF matchmaking youth with
the deathless teachings of scripture.
In the fragments set apart for
today's study are rules for har-
monious living. They tell folk how
to get along with one another, and
how to live helpfully and serenely.
All are designed as laws for living.

themselves as to the effectiveness
Of their methods.
At the Silver Spring church, Mr..
Magnuson, who has been active
there in this work for four years,
uses "songalogues" with the chill
dren's group. He draws ideas of
the song on the blackboard as the
children sing. The ideas of such
hymns as The Old Rugged Cross
become clearer to them through
this method, he believes.
Mr.. Magnuson, veteran of the
First World War, came to Wash

War Assets Administration as q
real property disposal officer. Be-
fore the war he was with the De-
partment of Agriculture as an archi-

He Joined the National Baptist

to Washington. The gas rationing
problem during the war resulted in
his transferring his membership to
the Silver Spring church in 1912.

LIQUOR LICENSES DENIED APPROVAL
 BY CITY COUNCIL

Juneau City Council last night took a stand against approving additional liquor licenses in @ precedent-setting case that receiv- ed 8 tie vote, broken by Mayor Hendrickson.
 The first action, which dlsap- proved @ license for John c. Olson for the old Coliseum entrance, was promptly followed by two other re- fusals handed William D. Jadoff and Lawrence Dubois.
 The Council approved a salary setting ordinance which begged most City salaries at least 10 per- cent higher than last year, with some receiving greater increases.
 Total monthly payroll of salaried employees for this year will be s6,405, excluding workers paid hourly wages. This is nearly $2,000 raise over last year, during which the approximate monthly salaried payroll was S4,600
 Action taken on other matters
