WHITE SPOT TOTAL L0SS
 AFTERFIRE
Early Morning Blaze Was
 Threat to Large Busi- ness District

Shortly before 5 o'clock this morn ing, the White Spot Liquor Store at the corner of Second and Seward Streets was destroyed by fire with quick work of the Juneau Fire De- partment confining to the liquor store a blaze that might easily have swept a portion of the business dis trics.
 Origin of the blaze was behind the plywood partition separating the main store and the back room office. The immediate cause is unknown.
 White Spot owner Ed Sweum this morning said his business was a to- tai loss, valuing the store at $3500 tai loss, valuing the store at $3,500 A year ago, Sweum said he had S8,50O insurance coverage, but yes terday his coverage was but s2,700.
 At 3:30 this morning, Sweum and his wife stopped their work on year-end billing in the office and W6llG IO d QOHllOOWll lCoOaui dA4O 1OA breakfast where a short time later friends rushed up to tell them the store was ablaze.
 Blaze Put Down
 morning in the liquor store in the than an hour, but little remains this morning in the liquor storre in the way of valuc.
 Boomers in the Winn Apartments upstairs hurried out in their night clothes and many of them worked frantically removing their belong ings from the threatened building. Police stood guard to prevent New Years revelers from pilfering stock.
 Business men in the immediate vicinity of the White Spot, which is ironically anything but a. white spot this morning. were warm this morning in their praise of the fire department and noted that a half million dollars worth of frame structures are in the same block with the White Spot.
 Fortunately, a brisk breeze that had been blowing earlier in the night, had abated at the time of the fire.
