morning when they noticed a bright
yellow light tinged with red in the
Eastern skies. and for awhile tele-
phones in the police station and
newspaper offices were busy answer
ing calls from people who wanted to
know the cause OF the light. Rain
was falling in torrents az the time.
and the skies TO the north, south and
west were banked with dark clouds.
The eastern horizon was aglow. and
to some persons IL seemed as If the
oil works at Marcus Hook were in
flames. Others thought the powder
plant az Gibbstown was burning.
Those who watched the light. how

from behind cloud and shortly after
