Narrowly Escape Injury In Traffic Accident The Aloha Cleaners owned by Hans Rasmussen and tha Alohh Tavern owned by Molly and Jack Myers were burned to the ground early Thursday, July 17. The fire was discovered by Lloyd Rasmussen when he arrived in the morning to start delivery about 6:30. It is not known where or how the fire started, though it is be lieved it was in the cleaning plant. Inability to get through on the telephone to call the fire departments gave the fire too much of a head start. The Nancy Carol Coffee Shop owned by Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Young situated just east of the cleaning plant was badly dam aged. The entire west wall was burned and charred on the out side, the windows were burned and the fire came through to the inside wall in several spots. The restaurant suffered from water damage. A bed next the window- in the living quarters in back of the restaurant caught on fire and had to be removed and a small I>ortion of the wall above the bed was burned. This was cov ered by insurance. The Carlson Garage on the west side of the fire was protect ed by a fire proof wall which held, though their roof caught ikoth on the top and underneath. The fire departments with the help of Mr. Carlson and his son were alkie to extinguish the roof fire. The building housing the clean ers owned by James Jersey of the Aloha Feed and Seed Co., was covered by insurance, but the building housing the tavern and the Carlson Garage l>oth of which are owned by Matt King of the Aloha Lumber Co., were not in sured.
