A fea ; ‘ Letters fo the. Editor Terrace Omineca Herald fh to clarify the report of tne Canyon City fire which appear: ed in the ladt edition of your newe- paper. Hand-pump extinguishers and ladders were used by the men te prevent other homes from burt- ing, and a garden hose was attach- ed to a nearby water pipe after the fire was reduced to coals, The charred remains of the large house belonging to Mr. Percy Azak, and of five smaller buildings, were hos- ed down by men from Columbie Cellulose Company. The neighboring house, belong: ing te Mr. Edward Azak, had some external damage but was not part: ly gutted, thanks to the courage of four village man present at the time. They were Mr. Henry Azak, Mr. Chester Moore, Mr. Henry Azak Jr. and Captain Ron Share: gan of the Salvation Army.

The fire was reported by Mrs. Captain Sharegan while other vil- lagerg fought the biaze, with women and children taking a here- ie part as well,

Being a small community of Jess than 100 people, situated between Alyansh and Greenville, this has been a great loss to the village of Canyon City. Action has been taken to secure for the village, a water pump engine and adequate fire hose,

This has been the ‘second home destroyed by fire in the last four months.

Yours sincerely, —

Betty Sharegan (Mrs. Captain R.}
