Volunteer Fire Protection
Fifty potential Munson fire
men met Thursday October 16
In the Fowlers Mills church
basement. The meeting, called
by interested citizens and
spanked by Bill Matthews and
Jim Parks, heard Ralph H.
Schwarz, president of the Ches-
ter fire company describe the
organization and work of the
Chester company. Mr.. Schwarz
told of the difficulties of fire
protection in Chester before
the fire company was formed.
He emphasized that getting to
a fire fast before it gets
big - is the most important
part of fire fighting. 1t was be-
cause neighboring fire depart
ments were too far away that
In l943 Chester organized its
fire company.
Starting modestly, Chester
now has 80 members and $10,-
600 worth of modern fire fight
ing equipment. The company
answers as many as rs calls
annually. Money to support the
company is partly appropriated
by the township trustees and
mostly raised privately by sub
scription or proceeds of enter
tainments. Today, Chester's Fire
Department Is largely free OF
debt and is a real asset to the
community.
At the end of the talk, temp
orary chairman, Thornton Hol-
der, asked for comments. The
lively discussion clearly showed
high interest in Munson fire
protection. The following COM
mittee was appointed to con-
tinue the study of the necessity
for township fire protection;
Bill Matthews, Steve Kiehel
Jim Parks, Otto Holsinger, and
Earl Bigham. The group asked
this committee to seek the CO.
operation of State Deputy Fire
Marshall, John III. Sheridan OF
Willoughby. The committee is
to report to a public meeting
to be called in one month.

BasicaIly, the radical program
Of setting up the Judicial Council
offers these changes In the pre-
sent organization Of the AME
church.
Changes Made ny New Law
The Bishops Council has been
ahorn Of it's judicial powers. and
IN replaced by the Judicial council.

NAL win nominate one member

Three General Officers Reelected
Despite violent debate, three
general officers were reelected 70
their posts In the church. The
Rev. Fred A. Hughes was reflect
ed editor Of The Christian Re
corder. an easy victory over w. d.
johnson Jr.. son Of the late Bish-
OPP johnson.
Prof. A. 8. Jackson won by an
overwhelming vote In the race for
secretary Of finance. The Rev. l.
L. Berry regAined his post as sec
rotary Of missions.
All these votes were by secret
ballot after delegates refused 70
give the officers voice votes Of
confidence. There was much agi.
tation against reelection Of these
men. The vocal and physical dem.
onstrations slowed down the busi-
ness, and the counting Of votes
took up q lot Of time.
Excitement stirred up by these
debates. however. was mild CON-
pared to the troubled atmosplAsra
towering over the conference until
action was taken on the Judicial
Council.
Leaders Of tine Action
