Fire Engine Exercises
Motor In Minor Fires

8 times in the past month the fire
engine has been called out to minor
conflagrations which have resulted
in little damage, according to M. l..
Petty, fire chief. Saturday in the
middle of the drawing, the engine
with siren going was forced around
the square to reach the scene of
an automobile which was on fire
between Watson's Bargain store
and the Lexington Hardware. The
car, which belonged to a Negro,
was damaged slightly, Mr.. Petty
reported.
The week before the engine was
called to Asia Baptist church, where
an electric light wire had caused
ignition. Doty Porter, caretaker OF
the Armory, assisted the fire chief.
No damage resulted, Mr. Petty said.
The fire truck was called to the
residence of G.. R. Chennault Tues
day afternoon around 4:30 when an
automobile owned by MIR. Chen
nault caught fire in his backyard
due to faulty wiring. Little damage
was done, Mr. Petty said.

Serves Various 0~ocupationa| Groups Of Section

For a long time the idea of a
Holmes County library was just a
dream in the hearts of women OF
Durant, who through the Woman's
club effected its organization. TWEEN
Tyrone years ago in October the
idea became a reality, eliminating
a movement which had been in pro-
gress for several months, which had
required drives for book and cash
donations, as well as for member
ship in the organization. A great
deal of effort went into the first
year of getting started, but the
rapid circulation which Immediately
rose. disproved doubts, if there were
any, as to service which would be
given.
The idea was born in 1927 when
Mrs. Charles Hunoldstein was pre-
sident of the Woman's club OF
Durant. Mrs. Eugene Cole, president
of the Twentieth century club, and
Mrs. R. W. Rhyme, president of the
Gamma club, assisted Mrs. Hunold-
stein in getting members of the
three federated groups to make the
campaign. Two hundred books and
SIPS in cash which were donated as
a result were the means whereby
the idea took root, in October OF
that year.
