Flamo Explosion, Fire
Wrecks Gallagher Home
Considerable damage was done
to the Dick Gallaher residence on
1st Ave. just before noon today
when a Flamo tank exploded. .It
is reported that the explosion oc
curred when the tank, a leaking
one, was being hooked up. The
tanks were located in the fur
nace room.
Most of the fire damage was in
the attic and between the walls.
The fire was very hard to get at
the fire department explained,
due to the fact that under the
asbestos 'siding, the house is com
pletely covered with galvanized
iron.
The entire interior of the house
suffered water damage.
No foam was used, explained
Fire Chief Marvik, as it is not
used on wooden houses unless the
fire is of oil or gasoline nature.

MERCHANTS. HORNETS BOTH
RELY ON STARS TO CAPTURE
TONIGHT'S HOOP TRIUMPH
The first game at 7:30 tonight
will pit the improved Nanooks
against the league-leading Na
tional Guard. Although they lack
height, the Nanooks will be
hustling as. usujl, against their
taller, and more experienced op
ponents, resulting in a match that
should not be too one-sided.
The main attraction of the
evening, at 8:45 p.m., will be
the much-discussed game between
the Polar Hornets and the Mer
chants. The Hornets have their
star of former years, “Tony” Wil
loya, back in the line-up, while
the Merchants have added the
towering Will Strane to their or
ganization. With, two such fine
players in the game, there is no
question of its being a terrific
contest.
