to have occurred on the lower level where most of the books
and periodicals were on display. Although, the fire appeared

the most intense on the upper floor, it was at first assumed
the firehad started there, by noon Wednesday, it had still not

been determined, where the fire had begun. Opened In

Terrace approximatey four

and one half years ago,, the

Winterland General Store is owned by Ray Jefferd. Ap-

proximately ten people, some of them part tIme are em-
ployed on staff. Jefferd told the Herald the business was
completely covered by insurance. Asked whether the fire
would mean laying off the staff for an indifinite period.
Jefferd said he carried business Interruption insurance, and
although he hadn't checked it out as yet, he was hopeful the
staff could be covered. The building is heated by natural gas.
The prompt arrival by the Terrace Fire Department resulted

in the quick arrest and extinction of the rapidly spreading
fire, and its ‘containment mostly to the upper level, Despite

the seriousness of the conflagration, the fire was out, ihe
smoke removed, and the hoses all rolled up and put away
within two hours of receiving the call, There were no injuires.
Cause of the fire and amount of the damage Is under routine
investigation.
