inviting everyone to drive a Willys

"We are satisfied with the econ

"However, wc are staging this na

prizes to afford everyone the oppor

Willys economy before purchasing a
new car."
VILLAGE MAYOR READS
GAS METER AS VOCATION
Fairport, O. (UP); Mayor John
O. Rendrick, Fairport's versatile
village head, not only adminis'ers
the affairs of the village but also
serves as branch manager of the gas
company in Fairport.
In addition to attending to the
village'3 affairs, the chief executive
has charge of the servicing and in
stalling of gas meters in homes of the
village, maintenance of gas mains
and the reading of gas meters.
The two job3 harmonize, MayoY
Rendrick believes, as they provide
for" a more intimate contact with the
illagers under his administration.
When the mayor comes to read gas
meters, the residents register first
hand complaints, opinions on how the
village should be run and feelings on
administrative policy.

Fire Destroys
Home in South
Part of City
Frame Residence on Chicago Avenue
Occupied by W&de Porter Fam
ily Is Burned Down.
This morning shortly before 6
o'clock the explosion of a kerosene
stove at the residence occupied oy
Wade Porter and family on Chicago
avenue, caused the destruction of the
house.
Mr. Porter had gone to the small
summer kitchen built at the east end
of. the house and had started the
stove preparatory to the morning
meal. He had gone on back into the
main part of the house and shortly
after Mrs. Porter had arisen and
started to the kitchen when she dis
covered the fire raging from the ex
plosion of the stove.
The fire spread rapidly and it was
with the greatest of difficulty that
the members of the family and neigh
bors who had hurriedly responded,
were able to get a large part of the
household good.3 out of the rapidly
burning building.
The fire department was called but
it was found that the house was sev
eral blocks from the nearest fire hy
drant at Tenth and Gold streets and
made necessary a second call for all
of the reserve hose of the department
to try and reach the flaming house.
The house was completely gutted!
by the flames and it was very for
tunate that the frame house just a
short distance south was saved. Had
the wind been from the north it
would have been imnossible to save
the second house from the fire
One of the distressing features of,relatlvG3 , Birmingham and Lynn.
the fire was the fact that Mrs. Porter
has been ill for some tim? and while
she has been up anl around the
greater part of the time, the fire and
the sudden shock has greatly affected
her.
