E. Okerstrom, 15011 Lyons avenue, early Sunday morning. Most of the damage was caused by water :used before the arrival of the department. Some time was lost in locating the ad- dress due.to excitement over the phone in giving correct informa- tion as to location. Residents of the township are requested to be calm when phoning in the loca- tion of a fire and .to :be sure and give a clear- and correct address or cross streets so that no time will be lost in arriving at the fire as soon as possible. If this is not done, valuable time is lost which might .be the difference between the saving of a home from complete loss or a total loss which can occur in a very short time. A large amount of dairy feed probably will be available to farmers in feed deficiency areas as a result of a neve maximum price regulation.

Last Monday we went to the Northville training school for 4-H achievement. We ;got our cer- tificates and chevrons. The fifth and sixth grade boys played the seventh and eighth grade in baseball. THE OLD JUDGE SAYS... Miss Hersch, county music teacher, came to our room to hear us sing. The sixth grade is studying about ancient cities and the fifth grade is studying iron ore. Seventh and Eighth Grades Friday, April 20, the seventh and eighth grade girls are having a baseball game. They are going to play the girls of St. Michaels school. Ilene and Genevieve McDonald moved up north this Wednesday. The eighth grade is giving a play called "Cora's Callers." It is about a girl named Cora who has three callers in a row, each one a boy, just when her aunt is going to come. The characters and their players are as follows. Cora, Inez Daniels; George, Bob Graham; Harry, Bob Shelton; Tom, Tom Hollowood; Marie, the maid, Thelma Mahoney; Aunt Cornelia, Marguerite Op,per.

Mr. and Mrs. Coe Bennett, who occupied the first floor of the house, and an- other family that had just re- cently moved into the second floor apartment, lost all of their be- longings. The house some time ago .had been converted into a two -apartment structure. The fire, which started in the base- ment, was not discovered by Mrs. Bennett until the flames had made so much progress they could not be checked. The Salem fire de- partment answered the call, but there was no aid that could be given. The farm, known as the old George Van Sickle place, was some years ago converted into a horse ranch by Mr. Porath, where he has :been raising pedigreed Belgians. None of the barns was damaged by fire. Goethe had a formula for think- ing. First he filled his mind with data—with the facts and ideas that he wished to think about. Then he had a rest, a walk in the garden, or a sleep, and when his brain was rested he began to think. "When my brain is fresh, the 1�3eas come," said Goethe. "Some- times they come in the morning os soon as I am awake, and some- times they come while I am walk- ing in the wooded mountains near my home." We can learn to think by study- ing the methods of the great' thinkers of the world. In his book, "Thinking in Business," Herbert Casson, the London efficiency ex- pert, tells us something about the methods of great thinkers. Napoleon said that he had "drawers" in his mind and that he •could, in a moment, shut one drawer and pull out another. His mind was adaptable. He could change it in a flash from one _t ,bject to another. While waste paper collections' have been increasing steadily, OWI said, they still are behind e_� timates.
