In some areas crops were

heat and drought took an abnor-

Early Morning Fire
Razes 2-Family Cabin

An early.morning fire yes-
terday destroyed the log-cabin
home of two Portuguese famil.
jes and left the seven members
with little clothing or household
furniture,

Only 2 black, charred frame
remains of the small log cabin
occupied by the V. Correia and J.
Sequcira families at 613-7th Ave.
near Greep's Electric,

Neighbors of the two fami.
lies have come to their aid and
are coulecting beds, bedding mat-
tresses and. clothing. “I hope the
public will come forward and
help,” said Mrs. J. R. Parkin who
has made her home at, 551-7th
Ave. a collection depot for the
families.

“A blazing inferno... one
of the meanest fires I've ever
fought,” was the way Fire Chief
Ed Lewis described the fire
which took place ardund 1 a.m.
Wednesday morning.

One fireman, Freddy Fom-
enoff, was rushed from the fire
to the hospital by the RCMP said
the fire chief, where he was trea
led for a cut artery and tendon
in his hand.

The fire alarm was turned in
at 1.10 a.m. by Mrs, Alex Reiben

and was sotnded for at least five | by

minutes. The fire was out_by 3
a.m. but firemen were on the
job for two hours afterwards
picking up four blocks of lines
and putting the equipment back
into a state of readiness.

Cause of the fire, said Chief
Lewis, was the efectrical connec.
tion to the hot water tank. It
shorted out the system and_set
the house on fire. Electrical fla-
shes caused by .the shorted
wires could be seen from many
places in Castlegar.

The two families have been
im Canada four years and came
to Castlegar several months ago
from Vancouver. There are three
children in the families, two girls
four and two and a boy eight:
