A theatre holocaust paraueling
that at Chicago several years
ago occurred at Boyertown, Pa.
An entertainment was in progress
Mt the Rhodes opera house when the
alarm of fire was given causing a
stampede and panic among the
audience. In the excitement the
stage footlights were overturned,
and soon the auditorium was il a
blaze. In the rush to get out Of the
burning building. people trampled
over each other and blocked the
door Of exits, with the result that
POO persons were cremated in the
flames. Nearly every home in the
town sustained the loss of one or
more loved ones. The entertain
ment was being given by local talent
for the benefit of a church, and, of
course, was largely attended by the
town people.

made up full sets of each kind are now either

various workers by county chairmen, for correc-
tion) finished, the supplies will be shipped all

the various forms, letters, report blanks letters,
with proper directions for each, so that the work
