3 Blocks Burn in
Vancouver Fire
Vancouver, B.C., June 15
(CP) A four-alarm fire raged
uncontrolled for nearly two
hours through a main industrial
section of east-central Vancou
ver early today. Fire Chief R.
M. MacDonald estimated the
damage at "easily more than
$1,000,000."
The blaze consumed a cluster
of lumber yards, a paper fac
tory, a stone cutters plant and a
welding shop.
A 30-mile-an-hour east wind
helped the fire leap Main street
here to endanger at one point
additional industrial buildings
worth millions of dollars. The
advance was quelled however.
About 500 firemen every
available man, including off-
duty men fought the blaze.
Every available piece of appara
tus was brought into play.
A district chief described the
blaze as one of the most serious
and most spectacular in the
city'i history.
An area three blocks In length
and with a two-block front was
swept over.
At least one casually Is
known.

11 Drown in
Texas Flood
Dallas, Tex., June 15 u
The Trinity river rose toward
flood crest today after killing
11 lowland suburban residents
and wreaking an estimated $1,
000.000 in property damage.
Sheriff Bill Decker said lie
believed flood damage at Gar
land, a suburb of Dallas where
four persons were drowned,
would reach 11,000,000.
Three of the dead at Garland
were members of one family.
They were A. R. King, 39, his
wife, and their son, Buddy.
The U.S. weather bureau here
said the Trinity river was at 37
feet, nine feet above flood stage
and probably would crest by
mid-morning.
Barring heavy thunderstorms,
the weather bureau here said, no
major flooding was expected on
the Trinity. Flood warnings re
mained in effect for the low
lands downstream however.
It was a fork of the usually
placid Trinity that flooded Fort
Worth and caused millions of
dollars In damages last month.
Reconstruction Finance Corp.
appraisers and a group of insur
ance experts estimated damage
to homes and business establish
ments at Garland would amount
to at least $250,000.
