Neighborhood Turns Out
To Fight Range Fire
By BELVINA w. BERTINO

A LIGHTNING-SET range fire fur
nished plenty of excitement recently
when the blaze, famed by high wind,
swept over large portion of the ranch
pasture.
The men were combining wheat
when they noticed the billowing smoke.
They rushed to the area with tractor
and pillow, barrels of water on the pick
ups and what fire-fighting equipment
they had at the ranch shop.
Last years grass was still thick. tall
and dry. The wall of flames, often
three feet high and pushed by a strong
westerly wind, jumped the 4-furrow
tlreguard repeatedly and raced across
the width of the pasture.
Tense Moments
AT one point the two men handling
the tractor and pillow had a few bad
moments when the tractor stalled and
the fire was sweeping directly toward
them at an incredible rate of speed
Before it reached them, however. thew
managed to get the motor perking
again and that bit of danger was
averted
The men on foot followed the edge
OF the fire, using wet sacks to beat out
the flames. At times, gusts or eddies
OF wind would pick up the flames and
swirl them back into the faces of the
lighters. One of the men had the hair
on his neck all singed, from his collar
to his cap-line
For four hours the men battled the
prairie fire. Neighbors gathered quick
ly to fight it on the opposite side. as
homes, grain strips and hay fields Law
IN its direct path. The Fort Peck Indian
FIRE Department was alerted and it
responded promptly. With its help. plus
the unflagging efforts of the neighbors.
all was saved, except of course. the
hundreds of acres of valuable RANGE
land.
Women Help
The ranch women, humping over the
rough prairie trails with the car skid
ding up and down steep ravines, brought
drinking water to the heat-exhausted
men. On one trail across a partly
burned section, the flames walled in
suddenly as huge clouds of broiling
smoke obscured the vision. The car had
to be put into reverse instantly and
backed out to safer ground.

r. II. Jackson, a Plain City
business man stated that he is
undecided at present what to do
about the shortage in the hundred
dollar payment which Plain City
woman made at his store in pen
nies about one week ago
The pennies were dragged into
his store in a three gallon bucket,
10000 of them which the woman
presented in payment Of bill. The
busy store keeper simply took her
word for it and did not make any
effort to count the pennies after
the lady had stated that it took
three people most of the night to
count the 10000 coppers. The next
day Jackson secured help to tote
the pennies to the bank and here
is the report which he received
from the bank after they had
counted and packaged the one cent
pieces.
His account was credited with
$9994, he lost six cents in the deal.
The actual bank count was $99.97,
three cents short, but there were
three other pennies which were
tossed out, one was a Lincoln
penny which the Government had
recalled in years past, one copper
had a hole in it and another was
badly bent and mashed up. This
account of the audit was made by
Mrs. Mary l.. Mitchell, bank teller.
Jackson says bankers are not
supposed to make mistakes so he
feels sure he has been gyped out of

hundred years there were annual
productions during the entire
month of Adar in the key cities of
Europe. Among the more popular
of these productions was "Haman
der Crosse Judenfresser." Most of
these productions were written in
Judeao-German, that is Yiddish;
Hebrew and English. In many in
stances these annual presentations
have a source of income for de-
serving charitable agencies. To-
day, there are literally scores of
Purim plays and each year more
are being added to the ever
growing list.
Much of the Jewish ceremonial
life through the year recalls the
tragic history of the Jewish peo-
pie in the Diaspora. However, on
Purim the Jew laughs at his
troubles. Purim has become the
symbol of the many Humans who
have sought to destroy the Jew.
On Purim the Jew remembers
that poetic justice has taken care
of all of >Israel's enemies from
Pharaoh, even until Hitler. AS he
reflects on the barbarities and
hatreds of history the Jew realizes
that Hannah has become merely
the sport of Jewish youngsters
who crack their rattles in the
Synagogue on Purim night. That
is why it is not hard to appreciate
the prophecy of an ancient sage
who said that even if all the Jew
ish holidays disappear, Purim will
survive to be observed forever.

Mr.. Gruber extolled the Con-
gregation's efforts. which. in only
four years. resulted in a MORT
gage-free house of worship and
meeting. He also thanked the
many men and women who had
contributed so much time. effort
and funds to make the Synagogue
reality.
The burning of the mortgage
was performed by Morris Jacob
son, Honorary President of the
Waycross Hebrew Center. Mr..
Jacobson was recognized for his
yoeman efforts on the Synagogue
undertaking. Before presenting
the mortgage to Mr.. Jacobson,
Mr.. Gruber said, I'm determining
the individual to actually burn
the mortgage, one head rises far
above the sea of others. In fact,
we can little dispute, that he
stands head and shoulders above
all in his efforts to make the
Synagogue a reality"

A Warning
To Our Advertisers

We wish to urge our friends
and advertisers to beware of
racketeers who are billing bus
mess people throughout this
area. The latest culprit is the
JEWISH FRONTIER of New
York City. which has sent out
bills dated January %. 1856 for
the Passover (Easter) issue.
Business firms receiving such
invoices are asked to please
send them to us together with
the envelopes in which they
appear so that proper action
may be taken.
Our friends are also warned
against Joseph Mileger who
has operated in this section as
The Southern Jewish Post. The
Florida Jewish Holiday Review
and other names. We have con-
siderable evidence that he has
taken with him copies of this
newspaper and has n1is-repre-
sented himself as one of our
statesmen. and has collected
funds under these false pre-
lenses.
