London, the British and the Polish

whatever sabotage and unrest there

ing Home of Earl Roberts

Explosion Of an oil stove caused
8 fire Sunday morning which de-
stroyed the home of Earl Roberts,
Mt. Pleasant, at loss of $4,000,
and threatened nearby dwellings.
Mrs. Roberts had lighted the small,
two-burner heater, placed tub of
water on, and gone into another
part of the house when the blast
occurred. A neighbor saw the
blaze and called the fire companies
of Middletown and Odessa The
flames had gained such headway
that the fireen, handicapped by
lack of water, were unable to save
the house, although they made a
record run to the scene. The home
of Kenneth Wright, next door,
was saved, however, with only a
slight scorching of paint. All the
furniture in the Roberts home was
saved except that in the kitchen,
including a new refrigerator and
gas range. The loss was partially
covered by insurance. The firemen
were forced to haul water from a
tank nearly a half mile away to
use on the blaze.
