who was coming home from church
and turned in the fire alarm. It
had not been known we had a vol
unteer fire department but we can
now prove we are well organized and
ready for any emergency. The car
had a tank well filled with gasoline
and the blaze was running through
the roof of the wooden garage when
discovered on fire. The garage was
saved with only a shall hole in the
roof and the car with the exception
of wood work and cushions, which
may be used for a bug or a truck.
Mr. and Mrs. Stewart were the early
arrivals at the fire and did very ef
fective work. It is thought a short
in the wiring somehow caused the Ig
nition and when the gas tank became
warm, the fire made rapid headway.
