Kent County rura l volunteer fire-men have perfected a n organixatlon of their ownjko fur ther the pro-gram of fire prevention and fire fighting. They call themselves "The Kent County Bura l Fireman." '

I t all started whan Dksk Machlele assistant county agent, called to-gether all the volunteer firemen in 16 townships to dlacuaa ways and means of bet ter f i re fighting. At the April meeting it waa suggested an orgaixatlon be set up. Directors were chosen f rom each district and these In turn elected the following officers:

President, E . J . Roblnette, Grand Baplds; vice-president, John Klein-hekscl, McCordar aecretary and treasurer, Richard Machlele, Grand Rapids. Directors: Lowell Ander-son, Kent City; Wayne WIHlams. Cedar Springs; and Forest Squires, Rockford. •

This group meets quarterly. At the meeting f ires tha t have occur-red eintje their laat meeting were dlscveeed, demonstrations given by equipment companies and o ther discussions pertaining t o the Job. Their next meeting will be held a t Cedar Springs, Saturday afternoon, November 9.

Another 4-H Clnb Fa i r is history and we can't help ba t feel It waa the best one y e t For one thing, more people had a hand in plan-ning the programs and helping a t fa i r time. There were by fa r the moat livestock exhibits we ever had: 181 dairy cattle, 20 beef anl-mals, over 100 hogs and 30 head of sheep. Buildings and tenls were taxed to their capacity. The poul-t ry exhibit was missed but the few rabbits helped. Big building waa full and we were glad to s^e com-mercial exhibits on hand again.

Where ahould credit go? Well, the Lowell folks hefced so much, sett ing u p and tak ing down. The program committcs did a fine Job on the evening's enter ta inment a

No Price bcrease On Pine Seedfings

For Reforestation There will be no Increaae In pri-

ces of the seedling pines available for reforestation plantings thla fall, but a top limit of 4,000 have been placed on all orders, the conserva-tion department's forestry division declares.

Suspension of nursery planting during wartime accounts for the current shortage of «tock. The 4,000 seedling limit, designed to spread the limited supply as far aa possi-ble, applies to cash customers. In-dustries and private persons, aa well as to public agencies author-ized to obtain stock free.

A fur ther limit of 1.500 for any single species, white, red or Jack pine. Is expected to encourage planting of mixed stands which are more resistant to the diseases and unusual weather conditions.

Three-year old white and red pine seedlings are selling a t $8 a thousand, two and three-year old Jack plno seedlings are | 2 and $2.50 and four-year old red pine trans-plants are 110 a thousand. No or-ders are accepted, for less than 500 trees or less than 100 In any one class.

Orders are being accepted now. but only on special application blanks obtained from the forestry division's Lansing office. Deliveries usually begin about September 15, af ter the first hard frosts a t the nursery.

Farmers catching up on tree planting postponed during the war helped set a seedling shipment re-cord in the spring of more than 5.000,000 trees In 2.000 separate or-ders.

LABOR DAT

Labor Day Is a challenge each worker should mee t the dedica-tion to promotion of Industry with a creative part and profitable gain from It, with reason and honesty. Taking advantage of good working conditions, Improving those not up to standard, co-operating with em-ployer;, seeking Just wages and hours, with service in return fo r pay, attaining the respect of co-workers, are a few of the laws fo r labor, i '

The Knights of Labor who ori-ginated this Idea, back In 1882. meant the day as a symbol of man's earnest and honorable toil. The radical elements that have since come to shock and anger many of our (people, tha t cause dis-satisfaction among the laborers themselves. Is harmful to the t rue meaning of our national Labor Day.

IMPERFECT WORK

A great deal of Imperfect work Is done in the world. If these Im-perfections could but be corrected, the cost of production would be less goods could be sold a t somewhat lower prices. The in-dustrial machine would run more smoothly.

A printer was telling one day of how he once set a green hand to printing some envelope*. He soon noticed that this youth took no pains to aee tha t the printing went on straight on the envelopes. Many lines were printed crooked, without regard to the top and bot-tom of the envelopes.

The youth defended his work by saying that the printing was all there, and It could be read easily. He couldn't seem to realize that to make an attractive Job, It was necessary to have the printing on straight and true. So the envel-opes were spoiled, and new s ta r t had to be made. If people could only realize the necessity of doing perfect work, a lot of trouble and expense would be saved.

EVERY family knows there ere dorens of things it needs and would like to get right away, but under present conditions they are just not to be had.

Well, we're facing exact ly the saraf situation in the telephone business.

To keep our telephone household going,

and to expand our plant and facilities to meet the great demand for telephone ser-vice, we need large supplies of lead, copper,

textiles, steel, rubber, lumber, brass and many other basic materials.

In some cases we can get only a limited quantity. In fact, a great many of the

materials vital to the production of tele-

phone equipment are in short supply for one reason or another.

Even so, we're hopeful that most of

the orders for telephone service received before January 1, 1946, can be filled by

the end of the year. In some areas, of

course, we expect to complete many orders received this year. But it may be late 1947

before we can return t o a "ready-to-serve" basis everywhere.

You can depend on this—we're moving just as fast aa existing conditions permit and, as supplies improve, we'll speed up the job.

Has it ever occured to you how difficult It has been

to maintain the hi^h standards of KING QU4LITY FEEDS

for the last th^ee or four years? We are proUd of the fact

tha t we have not changed the nutritive value of our formulas.

But in order to accomplish this we have had to scour the

highways and byways, hunt ing for meat scraps, soybean oil

meal, corn and many other hard-to-obtain ingredients. We

would rather have discontinued making KING^S FEEDS for

a while, then to change their feeding value.

There has been no time during the strenuous year j a s t

finished that KING'S FEEDS have not been obtainable with-

out change in quality. The price may necessarily be higher

at timea due to the higher cost of ingredients, but the qual-

ity is constant and will be constant as long as they carry

the KING name.

THIS

WEEK'S

SERMON "The Shepherd of Sacrifice"

by Paul Z. Hoornstra, Church of the Nasarene

Christ la the Great Shepherd. His greatness Is seen more clearly as we see Him In contrast with an-other. Let us contrast Christ with Abraham.

Abraham was a Shepherd-of-Sacriflce. He was wllllDg to give up his dearest possession. This sacrl flclng spirit Is seen as Abraham prepares to give up his own son; Isaac.

But Christ the Great Shepherd was willing to give up more. He was willing to give up His own very life. There Is real sacrifice. He loved you, dear reader, Juat that muoh. Have you returned that love to Him?
