and mayors of cities follow
suit. Fire marshals, fire, departments,
insurance organizations and other
public end private groups co-operata
in seeking to spread the ABC’s of firp
prevention and control *o tbe general
public—which has most at stake, and
which must accept .the responsibility
for almost every fire, large or small,
that occurs.
During the week every citizen will
have a chance to learn, easily, thor
t ughly and “painlessly,” tbe simple
lessons that will enable him to keep
his home and other property safe
from fire. He will be told of the men-
ace of old and improperly done wir-
ing. He will learn the need for peri-
odic inspections of his heating plant
—one of the most prolific sources
fire. He will be shown the vital ne
cessity of fire-resistant bull-ling, and
cf modern municipal build'njf codes.
He will hear of the tragic school, hos-
pital and other major fires which
have destroyed thousands of livfs,
and property valued at millions,
which were absolutely unnecessary,
To learn this, the citizen will have
to contribute a little of his time. He
will have to look at exhibits, read ed-
itorials, news reports and pamphlets.
He will have to listen to a radio ad
dress or two. He will have to keep
his mind open and his memory awake.
A lesson that is not retained is ob
viously useless.
In return for this small expend!
ture of time, he will receive know
ledge that may be the means of sav-
ing his property from destruction and
his loved ones from violent and hor-
rible deaths. It is worth it to you.

on evangelism and the preach-
ing of evangelical truth in any age.
We feel today it is more needed than
close of in many years. The great number of
protracted meetings by various
churches are not to force something
on a community or to weary people
with much speaking. The .efforts are
planned’for thiptirpofie df supplying
the needs of the people we serve. We
claim this fact to be true of any
church and that aim for one and all
is the same—the bringing into fel-
lowship with God those who are away
from Him, and to strengthen those
who are among the “saints.”
With these words, we again an-
nounce our Fall meeting of Oct. 9-20
under the leadership of the Rev.
Charles Malloy of Mart. We aren’t
afraid you will forget it; we just like
to talk about it and assure the entire
community that you will be welcome
in any of our services.

A commission headed by Vice Pres-
Garner was announced Sunday
to handle arrangements for proposed
to the late Will Rogers,
purpose, Garner said, is to crys-
tallize the Nation-wide sentiment
V
which calls for some tangible expres-
the regard in which Will
was held by persons in all
walks of life. The Vice President’s an-
nouncement said memorials have been
suggested for the late cowboy-humor-
ist’s native city of Claremore, Okla.,
and his adopted State, California, as
well as in other communities that will
want especially to honor his memory.
ICE CREAM SOCIAL
On Wednesday evening, Sept. 18, an
enthusiastic group of Walther Lea-
guers with their friends and parents
gathered at the home of Henry Wiede
for their monthly social. The main
feature df the evening was the sell-
ing and eating of the ice cream and
cake. After all had eaten to their
heart’s content, the following pro
gram was enjoyed:
“Little Goose”—Catherine Wiede.
“The,Middle Girl”—Esther Wiede.
“A Poleetical Speech”—Gerhard
Wiederaenders.
“Acrobatic Stunts” (jokes)—Rudi
Gohike.
After this program several interest
ing games were participated in both
by young and old until a late hour
when everyone bade the host and hos-
tess “good night”, having spent
very enjoyable evening.—Reporter.
BAPTIST CHURCH
Those attending -the revival meet-
ing at the Clifton Baptist Church are
receiving great blessings from the
practical, forceful, and challenging
messages from God’s Word brought
by Rev. V. M. Cloyd, who will be with
us through Sunday night, Sept. 29th.
Thank God for the rain and come on
to preaching. We earnestly beseech
every Christian to continue in prayer
and personal service to the end that
this revival effort may bring the
greatest glory to our Lord. Song ser-
vice starts each evening at 7:30. Sun-
day School at 9:45; Preaching at II
a. m.; B. T. U. 6:30 p. m.; and
Preaching 7:30 p. m. Sunday. Come
and bring some one with you.
G. B. Kendall, Pastor.
About the only groups that are
happy over the war scare in Europe
are the munitions manufacturers.
With each country looking over their
military and naval equipment and
hastily ordering additional arms, they
are reaping huge profits. Great Brit-
ain has just decided she will need
more ships to protect her interests
In the Mediterranean Sea and the
smaller countries in Europe are buy-
ing more munitions just as rapidly as
they can obtain a loan from a neigh-
bor nation. Seems the munition man-
ufacturers have an easy task to stir
up a feeling that each nation is try
ing to outdo the other, thus selling
arms at any price.
In the play-off series between Clif-
ton and Meridian baseball teams for
the championship of the Tri-County
League, the honors are on an even
basis; each team having won a game
of the three game series which
was agreed on to settle the honors.
Meridian took the game played in
Clifton on Sunday afternoon, Sep-
tember 15, and last Sunday on Merid-
ian diamond, the honors went to Clif-
ton in the tenth inning. Next Sunday
afternoon the dispute will be settled
no matter which team wins. At this
late season of the year the teams seem
to be quite evenly matched and it ap-
pears that the one getting the breaks
next Sunday should be champions for
1935. A very large crowd is expected
here next Sunday for this, the final
game, which is to be called at 3:30.
MAGAZINE CLUB
The first meeting of the Magazine
Club for the year 1935-36 was held
at the home of Mrs. Joseph Nelson
Tuesday afternoon, September 17.
Although all members were not
present, the enrollment now numbers
twenty-five, which makes it complete.
After the opening business session,
Mrs. Allison Miller conducted an in-
teresting round table discussion of
Italy, the first of the European coun-
tries that are to be studied this year.
Our gracious hostess served a re-
freshing ice course.
Mrs. Chas. R. Nelson was a wel-
come visitor.
On October 1, the club will meet
with Mrs. W. D. Nuckols.—Reporter.

Steadily rising postal receipts as a

A contract was signed last week by
Bureau of Reclamation of the De-
partment of the Interior with the
Doit Company, Inc., of Westport,
Conn., to wash the muddy Colorado
River. Six gigantic “washing ma-
chines” will be used in the settling
basins at the Imperial Dam, near
Yuma, Ariz., to cleanse the water to
be drawn off there through the 210-
mile all-American canal to irrigate
the Imperial and Coachelle Valleys
in California. The water is not too
muddy for irrigation, but if the silt
is not removed, constant dredging of
the long canal will be necessary.
The washing will be done by great
revolving steel arms, a dozen to a
set, each 72 feet long, looking like a
small bridge and devolving under the
drive of a motor mounted on it. The
battery of clarifiers will be capable
of washing 8,000,000,000 gallons of
water a day.

GARNER STUGK IN MUD
•Uvalde, Sept. 23.—Vice President
John N. Gamer got stuck in the mud
today.
The automobile in which he and
three companions were returning
from a two-day fishing trip became
mired, and a trailer containing their
camping outfit overturned.
The vice president piled out with
Ross Brumfield, B. Morrison and M.
B. Walcott, his fishing companions.
They righted the trailer, then pushed
their car out of the mud-hole, Garner
shoving with the others.
It was Gamer’s first fishing trip
since the adjournment of congress,
and probably will be his last this
season since he is leaving Oct. 12 on
an official good will trip to the Phil-
ippines and Japan.
Some folks are taking advantage
of this time of year to get their gar-
dens and flower grounds in condition
for the coming year. The Centennial
will bring many extra visitors thru
Clifton next year, and if everyone can
have their flower beds in good order,
Clifton will leave an unusually good
picture in their minds with our big
green trees overhanging the new
paved streets. We can make our city
the most attractive town in the State
with a little effort.
