Fire at 158 Front Street Sets Back Room Ablaze
A Saturday evening fire at 158 Front Street caused about 1500 in damage, starting near a stove in a first floor rear room used as a radio repair shop run by Shaw R Church. 80-year-old Mrs. Manfred Knight, occupant of the second floor apartment, was away at a beano party and escaped unharmed. Fire Chief Richard J. Frates said the blaze, discovered about 9 pm by Lester Savoy, raced through a stairwell and into the second story. Firefighters, braving near zero temperatures, contained most damage to the rear of the building, tarpaulins covering merchandise to prevent water damage, Salvation Army aiding Mrs. Knight, and the property owned by Hon Arthur J.
