The necessities of the Methodist
Sunday school demand more iroom to
care for tSue .comfort amd instruction
of the increasing numbers in attendance; attso for the Ladies' Aid and
young peoples' activities. The Sunday school board, ,as wel(l as the official board, have considered the question, the latter estimating with the
new heating pijant that would be nec-
siairy, at least $2,500 would be required, bo finance the' project. The Lad-,
ies' .Aid considered the question at
their meeting April 19, and practical
as always, headed the subscription
list with $1,000. Careful consideration will be gilven the project, and
when plans are adopted, iti is hoped
tq complete tlbe scheme in time for
next autumn's activities.
Each year there is set aside a week
which- 'is designated by fhse 'Governor
as Clean-Up-Week.
Statistics from the records of the
State Eire Marshal show that seventy-five j>eT cent of'the fires are due to
carelessness. Last year there was a
property loss of $17,'53B,"503.26 accounting for IS,309 fires. There were
73 schools, 70 churches, "23 hospitals,,
2S theatres, 137 hoteils nnd two children's homes damaged "by fire and in
addition there were 3'38 fatalities.
I tape our people will observe
Clean-Up Week by removing all rub-
>>ish nnd inflammable material from,
dangerous iproximity to "all buildings.
Local authorities are urged to give
•special attention to fire regulations
and where necessary, install addi-t
tional fire fighting apparatus; cause
fire drills to be conducted in aOjl public and private institutions, factories
and schools and ask teachers to in-
•struxit their pupils in'the work of fire
prevention.
The people of Michigan have tn
pay this tremendous fire loss of $17,-
538,^03.26. By their earnest coopera-
Hon ftoa citizens of 'tips state can obtain far-reaching resulfe aflong fire
-prevention 'lines.
I urge most earnestly that every—
■thing possible be done to minimize
the danger of fire, lessen fire hazards
■of every kind and reduce the loss of
"life *and property throughout this
•state. 1 recommend tiee installation
•of sprin-feling systems -wsherever possible.

^'The typical American." j
This was the title bestowed upon I
Eugene   O'Brien   by   Dimitri Bucho-!
wetski,    celbrated    European    direc- j
tor,   in   choosing   O'Brien   for   the
leading role in "Gr-austark," Norma
Tajlmadge's new starring production
made by Joseph M. Scenck for First
National.
As Grenfall Lorny, young American adventurer, O'Brien has a typical role in McCutcheon's charming
old world romance.
There are not ten actors in the
United States who could play the
part satisfactorily. Buchowetski
claims.
"Gr.austank" presents Norma Tal-
madge, once more In a young romantic role, following tremendous success of "The Lady" and "Secrets,"
both of which were character parts.
The new picture is expected to add
fresh laurels to Miss Talmadge's motion picture career.
It presents her as Princess Yetive
of the mythical kingdom of Grau-
stark, situated in the mountainous
south of Europe. Although surrounded by old-world conventions, she manages to break through and, with the
aM of O'Brien, win her way to happiness.
The picture is hooked for the Liberty theatre Saturday and Sunday.
