PLYMOUTH 0 Rialto Picture misadventures of a Michigan backwoodsman on the assembly line of a Detroit automobile plant, and his romance with a lunch wagon waitress, "Reach ing for the Sun" is said to be one of the brightest screen stories of the season. SUDDEN FLAREUP Leo Newman, 1018 West 11th street, suffered a burned left arm to the elbow when gas in a water heater he was investi gating last night at the home of William J. Burbidge and Mr. and Mrs. H. V. Olson. 138 Wil lamette avenue, suddenly ig nited. The burn was not con sidered serious. Some paper near the heater caught fire but though suffer ing from the burn, Mr. Newman put the blaze out before the arrival of firemen who answer ed a ward alarm. Harold W. Wilson, service superintendent of the California-Pacific Utilities company, said his investigation indicated that the pilot light of the heater was too low so that when the gas came on automatically it was not ignited. Some gas col lected and when Mr. Newman opened the heater door the pilot light flared up and ignited the collected gas, Mr. Wilson reas oned. The pilot light had been turned down, the investigation showed, but when or by whom he could not tell, Mr. Wilson said. Mr. Newman, son-in-law of Mr. Burbidge, who owns the property, was called by Mrs. Olsen when she smelled gas, firemen said. Automotive exports from Canada during May were more than three times those of May, 1940, the department of com merce reports.
