given a run at seven o'clock, We'd

covered in the Safeway store by a

a waste paper basket behind the
partition which separates the
store room from the office, appar-
emily within a few minutes after
six o'clock, when the store was
closed for the day, had got
ten a good start, but was soon
extinguished by the use of a small
amount of water from the fire
departments hand tank, without
material damage to the stock. The
cause is undetermined-probably
a cigaret stub swept up with other
debris and thrown into the waste
paper basket, or. possibly. a stub
carelessly Tipped into the waste
paper basket by a passerby.
As it was. the wooden partition
behind which the fire started was
charred over a space about eight
feet square, and the flames lick
ed off the end of the "Safeway
Store" sign which hung from the
ceiling. Immediately owe the g.

force of clerks worked a good part
Of the night, cleaning up and
placing thing in order, and the
store opened on time. Thursday

the fire being the charred parti-
ton and a slight odor of smoke.
Manager Kuehn CONGRATULATED

played in not running a lot Of

and chemicals. The loss. which is
nominal, was fully covered by in
