Furnace Rebels, Nearly Causes Fire,
Making Pandora Church Homeless

Worshipers at st. Johns Men
MONTE church, one mile east of
Pandora, have spent their past
two Sundays in the Pandora
school auditorium.
A faulty furnace in the church
has made them temporarily
homeless and, if not for good in
sulation, could possibly have
made them churches.
The near disaster was discov-
cred Saturday, November u,
when church members discover
ed the building icy cold when
they came with floral arrange

ming over the basement floor
while the furnace was red hot.
Turned on automatically by a
thermostat in the chilled main
auditorium, the oil-burning fur
mace kept running. A faulty wa
ter pump switch prevented water
from reaching the boiler and as
a result no steam was produced
to heat the cold church.
A safety switch shut off the
furnace but not before excessive
heat had ruined it. Only a good
job of insulating the furnace
room prevented a serious fire,
observers said.
A new furnace has been in
stalled to replace the ruined unit,
