Saved for 3 Years

The family bought the home and 57 acres of land twa months ‘ago. They had been saving for three years, “It's so hard to find a house when there are so many children.” Mrs. Lillian Scalf said. “They lived with me until they bought their own home.” Now I don't know what will happen to them.” “I had 97 cents in my pocket when I heard about the fire,” Mr Scalf said. “That's all gone now ahd the clothes the children are wearing are the only ones they have.” He was checking today to see if a $2500 insurance policy which he had taken out was in force at the time of the fire. “My wife and the baby and the

two girls and Michael will stay ’ with Mrs. Smock, but I don't know where Paul, Ronnie and I will go. We stayed in a hotel. M last night.” é | IS an Y
