Arson Suspected In Starford Fire Destroyed Building
Arson is suspected as the cause of a three story Starford fire that destroyed the United Mine Workers hall and damaged E. E. Napp & Sons window inventory valued at 40 000 to 50 000 dollars. Commodore firemen and Clymer volunteers battled the blaze from 11 40 p m Saturday until 10 a m Sunday with rekindling at ruins noted later. A state police fire marshal was called in to investigate amid a history of arson attempts and a 310 dollar reward from the Starford Development Corp. for arrests and convictions. The UMWA donated the building for a community center, funds from which are part of ongoing redevelopment efforts.
