NORTH WEBSTER - The Glory Barn - the roots of the local charismatic movement and the controversial meeting place of the Faith Assembly in the last decade - was destroyed by fire early Friday. Two youngsters were injured.

North Webster, Syracuse and Cromwell firefighters were summoned to the Glory Barn at 3:30 a.m. and battled the blaze for approximately two hours. Believing that the fire was of "suspicious origin," North Webster fire officials said Noble County police have requested that the State Fire Marshal assist in the investigation.

Warsaw salesman Howard Barrick, of 310 S. Columbia St., has been mulling over something he heard the other night - that three tobacco salesmen had driven an aggregate of 100 years without an auto accident. Barrick doesn't think that is much of a record. He has driven 40 years without an accident of any kind.
