\ $21.000 Fire At Bachman’
Chocolate Company Plant Here
Cocoa Mill Is Badly Badly Damaged
Our Firemen On Duty 12 Hours

Fire which raged from midnight
Tuesday until 10 A. M. Wednesday,
ruined the cocoa mill of the Bach-
man Chocolate Co. plant here.
Company officials said it is im-
possible to estimate damage until
debris can be cleared away. But
according to fire chief, Ray Myers,
a similar fire in June 1933 caused
damage of $20,000 to the mill and
Wednesday's damage may exceed
that. They estimated that damages
are so serious that the entire cocoa
mill may have to be rebuilt or even
replaced. The fire is believed to
have started when a piece of metal
Yigg through the mill struck a
spark and ignited the cocoa dust
which fills the room.
The Friendship Fire company re-
sponded to the alarm at midnight
and were just coming in Donegal
street, returning from the fire when
the alarm again sounded and they
returned to fhe ! fire for another two

hours. This time the flare up was
caused by the wind fanning embers
in the cocoa powder when the win-
dows were opened in an attempt to
ventilate damaged section.
Chief Myers reported that firemen
were seriously hampered by the
dense smoke and fumes thrown off
from an ammonia tank in the mill
when a pipe burst due to the heat.
The firemen were forced to use gas
masks to fight the flames and work
in relays. Dr. H. C. Kendig was
called to take care of any emerg-
encies.
Rheems Fire Company was called
at 2 A. M. because of a shortage of
men to fight the blaze and a num-
ber ‘of the company responded.
The cocoa mill is located in a
separate department on the fourth
floor, and firemen kept the blaze
confined to that section of the plant.
However, there was considerable

Landisville Man
Will Remove Six
Toll Houses
I. Miller Eshleman, Landisville,
contractor, has been awarded a con-
tract by the State Highway Depart-
ment to remove the six toll houses
and the islands on which they stand
from the Lancaster York Inter-
county bridge.
Eshleman whose bid of $1,100 was
the lowest submitted to the depart-
ment, is to start work immediately.
According to Secretary of High-
ways John U. Shroyer his bid rep-
resented a marked reduction in the
cost originally estimated by the de-
partment.
This reduction was effected after
a visit to the bridge by Secretary
of Highways John U. Shroyer, and
his consequent decision to adver-
tise for bids. As a result of this
decision the department was able to
make the $1100 contract with Esh-
leman in contract to an originally
estimated cost of $5760 and a high
bid of $3800.
Removal of the bridges and the
islands on which they stand became
the obligation of the Highway De-
partment when the State took over
the bridge on March 3. After the
removal of toll houses and islands,
department forces will have the
sections where they stood.

Second War Bond
Sales Campaign
Closes Friday, Apr. 30
The second War Bond sales cam-
paign closes with the end of April
and only purchases actually made
and completed before the end of the
month are included in the quotas.
Plans for the solicitation of every
home in Mount Joy Borough were
completed but in many instances
several calls have been made to
some homes without finding anyone
at home. In a few isolated cases the
volunteers have been unable to cov-
er their territory as early in the
month as they would have wished
but all sections will be completed
not later than Thursday so that
purchases can be made before the
banks close on Friday.
It is not necessary to wait until a
solicitor calls at your home. Go to
the bank or post office immediately
and buy your bonds and when the
solicitor calls complete the sub-
scription and mark it to indicate
that the purchase has already been
made.
The County Committee reports
that a million dollars in bonds must
be purchased every day until the
end of April for the quota to be
met. If you have already bought
during April try but another
bond in these last few days. Either
of our banks will advance the
money to make the purchase now
and the loan can be paid in six
monthly payments.
You lend your money, they give
their lives.
