All of which reminds of si story unariey fciuiivan of Dur- nam told me once about hid experience in this connection with the Asheville fire depart- j ment. j Charley was and still Is quite; a singer, wnue He was up m'er?" inquired Chatley of the Asnevme, ne was a member of a quartet. He took care of vhe bass singing. One day the chief of the department 'called him up and said: "Charley, how about bringing your quartet over to the fire house next Sunday morning and singing a few se - icuwuns iui us.- j.ne Doys wouict appreciate it no end." Charley said he'd talk it over with the other three. He did, and they were all agreeable to the proposition. Friday evening, they held a rehearsal and decided on what hymns they were going to sing. Among them was the old fam iliar one: "We're marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion. We're marching upward to ZION, That beautiful city of God." If you know the tune, you ARTHRITIS?- I have been wonderfully bless ed in being restored to active life after being crippled in near ly every joint in my body and with muscular soreness from head to foot.

"All right," he said, "We'll sing it in the original key. You think you can make it all right, Sam?" i "I think so," saiJ Sam, "If you don't sing it top fast, and if you give me a chance to take a deep breath, I don't believe I'll have any trouble with it." So they left it like that. Came Sunday mcrning and the preliminary exe -cises were held followed by a splendid talk by one of the prominent Ashe ville attorneys. When that came to a close, the chief of the department rose to his feet and said: "We will now have a few selections by a local quartet." The quartet got up and moved over to the piano. The pianist took his seat. The first hymn 1 was "When the Rol is Called up Yonder," and the boys went through it in fine fakhion. The firemen indicated tneir heartv appreciation by applauding vig orously. ' Our next number," said Char ley, "will be that well-known hymn, 'Marchirig To Zion.'

Instead of starting the boys off in the man ner which had been agreed upon at rehearsal, he pitched it a whole lot higher than that. The members of tiie quartet looked at one another uneasily. "We're marching to Zion, Beautiful, beautiful Zion " Beads of perspiration began to put in their appearance on the forehead of the tenor. The third line was coming up "We're marching upward to ZI-ON." The third line was the one that had that high note in it. The quartet sang the first two words "We're marching " The tenor drew in a long breath and prepared himself for the worst. 'And then," said Charley, 1 "something happened. Bells be gan to ring. The firemen jump ed up. They grabbed their leather coats and other equip ment. Sirens started to wail, and in a few seconds everything was in confusion. The rnen ,hopped aboard the apparatus, and in less than a minute's time, every last one of them was on his way to the fire. "I'm telling you now, I've never seen anybody so relieved as that tenor was. He couldn't possibly have made that high note, and he knew it. It took a fire to rescue him from his predicament and it certainly came-at a most opportune mo ment. Thank goodness there wasn't much damage done." Music Director Hamlet Resigns Merritt M.

Young Snipes, who is 11 years of age, is the son of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Snipes of Rockingham. He entered Scout work about a year ago as a member of the Walker Bible Class Troop of the Presbyterian Church and took special training in life saving work under the direction of Ed Hurst and A. A. Walker. The ad vancement committee and board of review have found that it was due to' this training that he was able to apply artificial respiration in a manner that saved the life of his sister last July 11th. Mr. and- Mrs. Snipes and their - three children: Eddie, Susan; and Judy, were on an afternoon outing at a small lake near Rockingham. Mrs. Snipes was reading on the porch of a I small caDm near the lake; Mr. Snipes was fishing from a pier, while the two girls were wad ing in shallow water, and Eddie was tossing a beach ball near by. Mr. Snipes noticed that Judy age 3, was not in sight and looked closer. He was horrified to see her apparently lifeless body floating just beneath the surface of the water. Plunging into the water, Mr. Snipes carried the little girl to the pier, and called to the others. Eddie came at once and immediately applied the latest method of artificial respiration and in a moment a large quan tity of water was pumped from the unconscious girl's lungs. Both the father and mother stated they were so excited they probably would not have been able to apply the necessary treatment had they known how to do so. However, it appeared to them that Eddie was not ex cited, but worked rapidly and expertly until the water was removed from the girl's lungs and she began to regain con sciousness. She was rushed to the local hospital in the family car, given treatment to guard against pneumonia and in a few j hours was able to go home.
