Ell Centre Experienced the
most hazardous fire in its
history Sunday when the Union
Oil barrel storage plant and the
California Pine Box company on
Orange between Bird and New Streets
were destroyed by flames,
Loss was estimated at approxima-
tely $4,000 but firemen still were
checking on the destruction at noon
Monday.
One special fireman, A. c. West,
was badly burned by flaming oil
which cascaded over his back from
an exploding barrel. One regular
fireman, Cecil Johnson, and two
auxiliary fireman, Art Sparks and
Jack Lay, were overcome by the
intense heat while battling the
flames. Assistant Fire Chief G. c.
Ferguson said All will recover.
GASOLINE THREATENED
Hundreds of thousands of gallons
of airplane gasoline, cleaning fluid,
oil, and automobile gasoline were
threatened by the flames and heat.
Expansion of these liquids caused
the fluid to boil over the tops of
the huge storage tanks within the
danger zone. Firemen shot streams
of water on the outSides of the tanks
to keep down the heat and prevent
them from exploding.
Barrels of oil shot into the air 35,

that rain would delay completion OF
the grounds. This year the Office

denied fuel for the association s

Whether the years influx Of war
workers into the Philadelphia-Cam-

question that didn't seem to bother
