Mrs, A.lf Torgranason, wife of
the owner of the building, was in
bed in her home immediately be
hind the theater with their 7
children. She was awakened by
one of the youngsters telling her
the theater was burning. When
the fire broke from the inteiior
of the theater she said a wave of
hot air rushed through the house
and the home caught on fire.
She barely got the childien
out and friends joined in getting
the furniture and clothing out
through the windows The fire
on the house was extinguished
with only small damage to the
outside and around one window.
Tha fiie burned into Betty's
diess shop, located m the theater
building; although some clothing
was removed much wasdamaged.

The ©Id Women Who Lived
in a Shoe had nothing on most
people—a big part of everyone s
time is spent in shoes—that’s
why shoe comfort is of primary
importance.
Run-over shoes, leaky shoes
and shots in any kind of dis-re
pair are a detriment to health
and well being
That’s why it is so important
to keep foo’wear at the peak of
comfort as well as good looks,
and why we know you will wel
come the opening of our new
shoe repair shcp about Septem

It may be mixing a metaphor
but keep your eye® on our an

Mrs Don tfntshinga, of the
base, is walking around this
week with a cast on on* of her
feet, but she is having more
trouble explaining it than any
thing else.
She informs all questioners
that she slipped on the ice but
ince it is August and hot, sunny
weather has continued for sever
al days they don’t believe her.
But it is true. Only the slip
ocoured back when there was
ice. At first it was believed she
suffered only a sprain but her
foot continued to bother her and
recent X-rays disclosed a frae
tured bone—hence the August
east.
NOTICE
