Milasis' Luck Turns

By Rita Fisher

The Paul Milasi family, routed from their own home by a bad fire which burned the entire contents of their dining room and living room last week, have found temporary quarters. They are living together in the home of a Greenbelter who will be out of town for a few weeks and who graciously offered his home as a refuge until the Milasis can move back to theirs.

The response of the people of Greenbelt in their offers of furniture and items to replace those lost in the fire has been greatly appreciated by Mr. and Mrs. Milasi. As yet they do not know when their house will be ready for occupancy again. Though the fire did not work its way into the kitchen, their appliances and equipment were damaged.

One of the things lost in the fire was a good set of dishes which Mrs. Milasi used only on special occasion. This set was lost because it was kept in a buffet in the rooms burned. Through the good graces of GCS, Mrs. Milasi will be receiving a new set of dishes to replace the valued ones she lost.

A number of the people have offered household items to the family.
