The meeting Was sponsored by the Senior Citizens tellowship of the Harbert Community church. Dr.

Mitchell, of Three Rivers, said state, county and welfare agencies have done an excellent job in caring for sick and aged but there are more needs than the local units can take care of. He explained the Kerr-Mills bill, which he said would only cover 14 percent of the aged groups against the Kind-Anderson bill with its wider coverage. "I am standing on record that am in favor of the derson bill. If I have the opportunity to cast my vote in gress, I will vote for it," he pledged. Hutchinson opened his attack by saying simply reaching the age 65 does.

not make a person old some are young at 80, some are old at 50. A good many people, he said, both under and over 65 doubt the wisdom of introducing the government into the care for the aged. It used to be primarily a family obligation, he said. The responsibility of the family seems to have slipped away in our society as compared to two or three generations ago.

Low Overhead Means Lower Prices Easy Payments No Money Down Up To 3 Years To Pay Open 9-9 Daily to nearby buildings, the closest of which is also a steel structural type. Three truckloads of packages were salvaged in the early minutes of the blaze, as well as all office records and equipment. VOLUNTEERS JOIN Many passersby pitched in to save what could be saved.

The source of the fire was suggested by firemen to be near the middle of the south section of the two-section building. An early effort to hook hoses onto a hydrant directly on the corner of Boughton and Ninth hampered firefighters as the hydrant's top knob could not be turned. Ironically, Litowich had kept the outlet shorn of weeds for a long period. It was believed a truck must have backed into it recently and made it unservicable. Heat palpitated the metal celling, then blew skylights and flames leaped out.

Long after flames were knocked down, smoke billowed upwards into a clear moonlit sky. What made the fire extra hazardous and hard to fight was close quarters. Smoke had only two openings to escape. A cutting torch and axe opened others. A special rig that helped most to master smoke was the aerial extension ladder off the pumper truck.

It was backed into the building with a wide-spray nozzle attached to a hose down the horizontal length of ladder. The spray allowed cover for men to attack. BACK INJURED Most seriously waylaid were Firemen Forrest Barker, Ralph Stanley, and Harold Gaddie. Barker's back was injured from falling debris, and all three were admitted to Mercy hospital for after effects from smoke. They were reported in satisfactory condition there this morning.

Also taken to Mercy, some of them by Mayor Wilbert Smith, were Ken Shonk, with another back injury; and, mostly with severely smarting eyes, Archie Davis, Roy Hearn, Capt. Ralph Hetherington, Eugene Miston, Ralph Moore, Sgt. Dick Nichols, John Sprague, Jim Stevens, Bob Treder, and Jim Woodley. Most other men needed some oxygen at the scene. Four Are department cylinders were used up.

Litowich, members of his family, and others arranged for coffee, sandwiches, and hamburgers to sustain the men through the night. Three Benton Harbor firemen missed the call. Gale Jones, however, out for several days with a baseball-incurred broken shoulder, was observed reeling off hose with his good arm and passing Mrs. Wycoff's Condition Said Good Mrs. Russell Wycoff, Eau Claire, manager of the Clark Credit Union office, is doing well at University Hospital, Ann Arbor, where on Thursday she underwent heart surgery.
