The Jp ^ol is in the Millwood Fire '.Sflstrict, and the firemen decided to lose no time in getting ac- '' quainted with their new respon sibility. Fire Chief Billy Rieger jgd his men drove up to the school from the Firehouse in the Company's two big trucks (time: '? minutes, 30 seconds), unreeled their hoses, tested the- water isur.e in the two nydranto on :hool grounds and generally fa over the lay of the lan.1. Tom the standpoint of fire safe- ty the new school, VviDh its con crete interior walls, floors, ceil ings and roof and its direct exit to the outside from each lower- grade classroom, is a fireman's aream — just about as nearly 100 per cent fireyrooi as a build ing can be made. DEEMS ELECTED The Millwood firemen had a busy week. Among other things they nominated new officers. Ro bert Deems was chosen without opposition as Chief of the Com pany for the coming year.

Charles Wertheimer, chair man of the membership commit tee, outlined plans for an active campaign to bring the Fire Com pany up to a strength of about to men. The firemen also awarded a contract for painting the outside of the Firehouse. Furthermore, as soon as the new Millwood playground is opened they will lay down the law, in the interests of dignity and safety, to young sters: no more playing in front of the FLahouse. Church Dedicates Pulpit, Lectern A service of recognition and rededication was included as part of the regular two morning serv ices at the First Congregational Church, Chappaqua, on Palm Sunday, March 18, in honor of the redecoration of the sanctuary just completed. The congregation dedicated a new pulpit and lec tern and new choir gowns, and rededicated the altar and other appointments of the church. The members of the congrega tion expect to be worshipping in the present sanctuary for an in definite time, since the new building, to be begun this spring does not provide for a finished sanctuary. The plans call for a church school wing, a social hall wing and a chapel. Eventually, the large meeting room will be appointed as a temporary sanc tuary, but the time for finishing this work is indefinite. With the completion of the work of redec orating, the congregation will worship in a sanctuary which, though small, is one of the love liest in this area. All the pews and other fixtures were re-stained a darker shade. The walls and woodwork were painted in lighter and darker shades of the same burgundy brown color. The new altar hang ings are of nylon velvet trimmed with gold brocade. The brass cross, candle sticks, vases and missal stand of the altar ensem ble are all new. Among the other new appoint ments, the pulpit and lectern are prominent. They were designed to be in keeping with the English country gothic style of architec ture of the church. The large, heretofore uncur tained window at the rear of the I sanctuary, has been treated with! a green aluminum Venetian blind, with a valance above of the same material as the drapes on the side windows. Those drapes are forest green in hue, and each can be drawn closed and open with pull-cords. The new carpet is cathedral red, is supported by a thick pad, and covers the entire area cus tomarily walked upon when the church is in use. The choir gowns are of maroon faille with white rayon over-gar ments. The decorator was David Flynn of Pelham Manor; painting con tractor was Fred Schuff of Chap paqua; the pulpit and lectern were designed by John H. Sund- berg, and the cabinet work and carving were done by Michael Gressel; the brass altar appoint ments are from Black, Starr and Gorham; the carpet was made by Bigelow, Sanford Company; the choir gowns were designed and made by the Ireland Needle- craft Company of Allentown, Pa.
