Blythe. Rocky Mount, president: Mrs. Stella H. Spen that the new pastor wouldn't re-j side in the parsonage but would make his headquarters in a neigh boring town, about twelve miles distant. A meeting of the church board i was held and it was decided to rent the parsonage. It wasn't long be fore a prospective tenant was found and the rent was agreed upon. Rut the tenant said he didn't want the furniture in the parsonage because he had furniture of his j own. The Ladies' Auxiliary held a , meeting, discussed the matter at some length and finally decided to go around to the parsonage, move all the furniture into one room, keep that room locked and let the tenant have access to the rest of the house. This was done. A few days later, the new ten ant moved in. He had been there only a short time when he dropped in to see a member of the church board and to lodge a protest. He claimed that he expected to get six rooms at a rental of $25 a month. One of these rooms'had been locked up. leaving only five. Therefore, he claimed that there ought to be a reduction in his rent. Another meeting of the church board was held that same night and they realized the justice of the man's claim. So they told one of the members to see the Ladies' Auxiliary and find out whether the furniture couldn't be moved to some other place. The ladies were glad to be of assistance. They scouted around the town and found a vacant store building which had formerly been used as a postofTice. They saw the owner and asked permission to \ j siaiR up ine parsonage lurnnure I within this space. Permission was ( given and the furniture was moved. Which made everything lovely. But two weeks later, the owner of the property called on the ladies. He said he had an opportunity to rrnt the store building and that the furniture would have to be moved unless the ladies were will ing to pay something. The ladies said they didn't have snv money. "Well," said the owner, "you'll have to move the furniture." "But where can we move it?" in nuired one of the women. The owner shrugged his shoul ders, as though to intimate that 'hat was their little problem, and "Ot his. The ladies made a thorough in '??stieation of all vacant jJronerty in the town but couldn't find an other available place where the furniture mieht be moved. So thev gave this information to ? member of the church board, "?ho oromotlv called a meeting of ?he full board. Some of the members, hv that i Mme were getting rather sick and 'i>-ed of the furniture business, but 'hev agreed to hold another meet ing and see what could he done. The meeting was held.

It also was obvious that some action would have to be tak en immediately or else the furni ture would be thrown out of the building where it was being stored.; They talked over the matter for an hour or more. Finally, one mem ber rose to his feet and said: "Gen tlemen, I think I have a solution to our prbiem." The others waited expectantly. "Let's store it in the church," he said. "It's the only thing we can possibly do."' "But where in the world would ( we put it all?" asked another mem ber. "Put it down the two side aisles." said the first speaker, "Nobody ever uses the side aisles anyway." They talked a while longer and then agreed that the suggestion was a good one. And so, the following day, they Campaign Launched For Reducing Forest Fires It's time to get outdoors again and the annual campaign by the Forestry Division of the U. S. De partment of Agriculture to prevent forest fires is being stepped up. This year an elTort is being made to enlist the cooperation of the na tion's youths as well a? adults.

For example, ar rangements have been completed for color display pieces depicting an appeal by Smokey Bear, official symbol of the fire-prevention cam paign. to fee displayed in A&P Stores across the land.

I Our informant tells us that the I church, in its present state, pre -mts a most interesting picture. | Hmvn one aisle you can see two dismantled beds, mattresses, springs and other bedroom furni j lure, Down the other aisle are a ' number of chairs, tables, pictures, kitchen utensils and so on. One piece is piled ud on another, with out much attention being paid to arrangement. In some places they | reach almost up to the ceiling. i All that's been several weeks ago. Sunday school and regular services have betn held in the church regularly since then. At first, church-goers regarded the un usual display with some degree of interest, but now nobody pays any attention to it whatsoever. Cupid Has Room NEW ULM. Minn. (AP> ? For the past 20 years.

Although the Smokey Bear Sym bol was conceived in 1945, accord ing to Clinton Davis, Director of Forest Fire Prevention for the Forestry Division, it was not adopt ed by the Forestry Division as a central figure until 1947, and has been used extensively ever since. There w'as an average of 210,000 forest fires annually prior to the inauguration of the Smokey Bear campaign. Since then the number has been reduced to an average of 185.000, even though thousands of additional people visit forest and woodland areas every year for pic nics, camping, hunting and fish ing expeditions. If it were not for the extensive fire-prevention program, of which the Smokey Bear symbol is the central figure, Davis estimates the number of fires woula be runnine at the rate of between 300.000 and 350.000 annually because of in creased use of forest areas. Be cause fires caused by people run in direct proportion to forest use by the public, we are grateful for as widespread support as possible to bring home the need for keep Hollywood Child!
