Firemen Respond Twice At Bendix Westinghouse Plant
Two Elyria fire companies were dispatched at 3 44 AM to a heat treating furnace exterior fire at the Bendix Westinghouse Automotive Air Brake plant. Firemen stayed on scene until danger passed as overheated tempering salts boiled over when cooling efforts backfired. Earlier in the afternoon a fire damaged a car owned by George B Demiesgal at West Avenue, scorching paint and wiring under the hood after alcohol and antifreeze ignited from the hot motor. In a separate matter, Russell C. Kreeger of Amherst was fined 50 and costs and given a suspended license for six months after a driving while intoxicated arrest before Mayor A R Agate.
