Freezing Items

The protracted meeting at Pine
Creek church, conducted by Ed
err Emory Vanover and others,
ended Sunday night. Ten MEM
beers were added to the church
during the meeting, seven by ex,.
perience and three by letters from
other churches. The seven were
baptised in Pound River Sunday
evening by Elders Vanover and
Kiser. A large crowd lined the
river bank to witness the SER
vices. All of the candidates were
humble people and part of them
had long been in i'll health. One
could not help but be impressed
by their evident sincerity.
The writer attended services at
the. Christian church at Osborne
Gap Sunday night and then came
back by the Pine Creek church
just as service ended and an UNI
usually large crowd came from
the church. At Osborne Gap an
attentive congregation listened to
an interesting sermon by Elder
Trick, of Kentucky. At both plac-
es one could not help but note
the change in the people over a
few years ago and to think that
both places had been made be:-
ter since the formation of the
churches.

DOWNTOWN BLAZE
TUESDAY DAMAGES
WEISS BUILDING
3 Families Homeless
After Fire Which Started
From Unknown Causes

Fire of undetermined origin in
a downtown building left three
families temporarily homeless
Tuesday evening. The building is
one of E. Fifth ST., owned by Mrs.
Pearl Weiss, of Pennsylvania,
and occupied by the Home Res
taurant and Fleming's Shoe Re-
pair Shop.
Fire broke out under the roof
of the two-story building and
spread along the rafterS on the
east side. II was discovered by
Carroll Turner, who rents the
rear east apartment, when he
returned home from work at
about 4:45 p. m.
The fire department was inn
mediately called and meanwhile,
Turner and several volunteers
began moving his furniture into
an adjoining apartment as the
blaze, apparently was centered
Immediately over the Turner ap-
artment.
Others In the Building
Other tenants in the building
besides Mr.. and Mrs. Turner and
daughter, were Mr.. and Mrs. Chet
Austin and Mr.. and Mrs. Dee
Dresback and daughter. On the
ground floor are Donald Flem-
ing's shoe shop, and the Home
Restaurant, owned by former
Sheriff William H. Rausch.
Damage from the fire itself
was confined to the building, but
furnishings in the apartments
were damaged badly by water or
in moving.
Although little could be seen
by spectators, except dense smoke
which poured from under the
edge of the tin roof of the build
ing, several hundred persons
gathered to watch.
Difficult to Fight
The fire was considered under
control. after about ten minutes
of fighting, but firemen were
hampered from extinguishing the
blaze completely by the tin roof
ing. Firemen worked from the
roof of the next building to the
east, tearing up the edge of the
roof on the Weiss building to gain
access to the fire.
Although all of the apartments
were damaged somewhat, the
Turner apartment, was hit the
hardest. Practically all ceiling
plaster board in that apartment
had either been torn away to get
at the fire, or had given away
under the force of the water
from the fire hose. The other ap-
artments were only damaged by
the water and smoke and al
though the tenants were moved
out Tuesday evening, they can
return to their homes after little
cleaning.
