Stub Schlndler, Alpine township

fire chief, became a volunteer fire-

fighter fourteen long years ago.

Those were the days when the fire

trucks were housed in county gar-ages, and the nearest truck for Alpine was on Webster St., In Grand Rapids. Charlie Momber organized the present group of vol-unteers six years ago, and the orig-inal crew is still active except Russ Joustra and Carl Atwood, who both moved away. These boys must practice how to meet any type of fire and be on call at all times (getting out in the wee hours of a winter morn, brrr!) . Now this Saturday night is their night to howl, with a dance for their bene-fit at Creveling's barn. Tickets are available from any firefighter and there is a space for your name as cash prizes will be given. You don't have to be present to win, so If you can't be there buy one

ROTARY NEWS

Two of our members are In the hospital this week. Dick Wolf in Blodgett Hospital and Barth Carl son, Sr., in St, Mary's Hospital, both are doing well at the present time and we wish them a speedy recovery and a early return to Rotary.

Bernie Hessel, program chairman was called away and Ed Lane in-troduced our speaker. Rev. Irvln L Piell of Algoma Baptist Church The subject of his talk "My Faith" a very worth while topic and of real personal Interest to everyone Every man must have a real faith to live by. He was not concerned with what your particular faith was but he knew very surely what his was. It was based on the Bible This book must have more than human origin or it could never have come down through the ages

as the world's best seller. His fai th

in God gives him hope and assur-

ance and helps to bannlsh fear.

Faith without works is dead. What

a man believes In so is he. We

will all be remembered more for

what we have done for our fellow

men and community than for any-

thing else. We are being watched all the time by others and we should live what we believe. He told several Interesting stories, held the attention of the club and proved to be a very worthwhile speaker.

Thank you. Rev. Piell, we hope you will come back again.
