' f PAGE EIGHTEEN The OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Friday Morning, February 11, 1938 Insurance Is Firemen Plea Scio Council Takes Steps to Protect Volunteers Injured at Blaze SCIO Preliminary action look ing to insuring Scio TOlanteer firemen was taken by the coun cil at a recent meeting when the city recorder was Instructed to take up the matter with an in demnity company. The procedure followed rep resentations made by a delega tion of local firemen composed of George ; Stoddart, ' Hobart s Hoag land and Elmer Behrand. Haz ards faced by firemen at fires and going to and returning from fires were cited as actual dan gers that should be provided for.

Young Cow's IQ Quick Enough in Handling Heifer AUMSVILLE Mr. and Mrs. Grover Phelan have a young cow, Marjie, whose IQ if cows are credited with an IQ 4s high. Recently they acquired a four months old heifer, Beauty, from Albert Ham, trading a young bull calf for her. - Marjie had always bossed him I around and when the trade was made, promptly started getting snooty with the young heifer. However, a few evenings ago. Beauty stayed out in the pasture long past the time to come up to the barn. Marjie tramped rest lessly about the barnyard, bawl ing and watching the calf out in the pasture. At last unable to put up with such nonsense longer, she trotted down to the pasture and nudged and pushed and coaxed the young heifer up to the tarn and seemed perfectly contended when her charge was safe inside.

Local Store Has Heavy Fire Loss A loss that will total around $25,000 occurred late yesterday at the Metropolitan store, 148 North Liberty, when fire prac tically destroyed all the stock of the store and did serious damage to the building. Nat Kuznetz, man ager of the store, today made a rough estimate that the stock damage was 120,000. The, build ing damage may run to J5000. The stock was owned by Simon Director of Portland and the build ing is owned by the P. H. d'Arcy estate. The fire started from an un known cause, apparently at the rear of the main floor, worked down into the basement and ate upwards Into the attic, but the flames did not get outside the building. Smoke was dense, mak ing the work of the firemen dif ficult. Lines of hose were laid from three directions. The stock of the store was of variety nature, and counters and shelves were heavily piled with Christmas goods. All of It was virtually destroyed, and Mr. Kuz netz said today he did not think the store would be opened for business this week. Spectators who jammed Liberty street by hundreds kept police busy directing traffice and keep ing pedestrians out of the way and added considerably to the spec tacular nature of the fire. Smoke poured from the upper part of the building and fogged the streets. Much of the damage was caused by water, which was unavoidable on account of the location of the fire. The fire started about 4:35 o'clock.
