“Angel in Ebony”
To Have Premiere
Showing in Palmer
'Angel in Ebony,” new mis
sionary film released by Taylor
, University, Upland, Indiana, will
be presented in a premiere show
ing at the Church of God on Ma
tanuska Street on Sunday, Aug
ust 14. Scheduled for 8 p.m., the

the Church of God.
The full color, sound film, is
the story of a young African
prince, Sammy Morris, who at
tended Taylor University in 1892.
Jungle scenes actually taken in
Africa, and authentic period cos
tumes highlight the 45-minute
dramatic presentation. Produced
by Missions Visualized, Inc. of
California, the picture is non

Tortured by a rival tribal chief
tain, Sammy escaped into the
jungle, where he was miraculous

could about Christianity from a
missionary, and then hitched a
ride across the ocean to the Un
ited States on a tramp steamer.
A Christian man in New York
sent him to Taylor University,

diana, where he enrolled without
previous formal schooling. His
simple but earnest faith altered
the course of the University, and
has influenced many lives for
Christian service.

Fire Insurance
Agency Official
Makes City Visft
Loren S. Busn of San Fran
cisco, chief engineer for the
Board of Fire Underwriters of
the Pacific, paid a visit to Pal
mer last week and discuss
ed the City fire system and de
partment with city officials.
Engineer Bush complimented
the city on its new fire hall and
offered suggestions for improv
ing the present Department. “It
is of great importance that you
keep an active roster of volun
teer fire fighters. Just turning
out for a fire is not sufficient,”
he pointed out. Regular training
and practice sessions are of ut
most importance he said.
Bush was accompanied to Pal
mer by Anchorage Fire Chief
George Bums and Lieutenant
Stan Larson of the Anchorage
Fire Department. Bush and the
Anchorage men offered their as
sistance to Palmer in any way
in which they might be of help.
Fire Chief Ray Lancaster said
this week that the local depart
ment is short of men. “We get
plenty of help at fires, but in
order to efficiently fight a fire,
practice sessions are a must and
unless the volunteer fire fighters
are registered as such and attend
practice sessions once a month,
they can not be classified as a
member of the fire department.”
Lancaster pointed out that in
order to maintain the present
Fire Rating of 6, it will be neces
sary to have at least 24 volun
teer fire fighters registered on
the department’s roster. Practice j
Part-Time Employment
Defined in New Law
Pursuant to the provisions of
Section 2, Chapter 185, SLA 1955,
part-time employment will be
considered to be such employ
ment as does not require an em
ployee to perform any work, or
to be subject to call for work,
for more than 20 hours during a
work week, according to Henry
A. Benson, commissioner of labor.
Persons under the age of 18
years, except such as are engag
ed in newspaper delivery, baby
sitting, occasional chores in and
about a domestic home or in per
forming occasional errands, shall
be paid at a rate of not less than
$1.00 per hour for part-time work
as defined in the preceding
paragraph.
sessions are held the second
Thursdays and the fourth Tues
days at the City Fire Hall, from
7 to 8 p.m. If the present insur
ance rating is not held, it will
mean a terrific jump in insurance
rates in the City of Palmer, Lan
caster warned.
During the visitors stay in Pal
mer they inspected the fire
equipment and also visited the
Co-Op where he showed much
interest in the sprinkler system
installed this past year.
Fire Chief Lancaster reminded
home owners that this is the time
of the year to begin plans for
winter heating. “First check your
flues for accummilated soot,” he
suggested. “Inspect your oil
burners and if dirty, clean before
being put to use this winter. A
little work now may mean the
difference between having sev
eral chimney and oil burner fires
this winter—and none at all.”
