A small fire accompanied the
blast at Bethesda. but went out
before the Bethesda Chevy Chase
Fire Department could reach the
scene. The explosion was heard

volts to $4,000 and 1000 volts for

Residents living nearby saw
several preliminary flashes and
heard dull explosions prior to the

Whiteville Queen
To Receive Trip

The 1850 Farmers Day Queen
who is to be chosen in the pag-
cant on Friday, September ~,
will be the luckiest girl to emerge
as winner in the Whiteville cele-
bration.
She will receive a three-day
trip to New York City.
The trip was authorized this
week by the executive committee
OF Farmers Day which rejected
the idea of bringing Mutuals
Queen for a Day to Whitevllle IN
preference for a Columbus Coun-
ty girl.
The Civilian Club and Mer'
chants Association, sponsors OF
Farmers Day, felt that the mon
ey could be spent more wisely
by giving the Farmers Day
Queen a glamorous trip than by
bringing an outsider to the city.

Der of shows, visit New York
