The raging flames of two widely

raced through a small Matanuska
Valley community and threatened
a fishing village on Kodiak Island
Monday.
Both fires still burned uncon
trolled at reports yesterday.
A combination brush-f orest
blaze swept through Wasilla Flats
in the Matanuska valley. It de
stroyed three sheds, a cabin and a
barn, and threatened numerous
other homes.
Two below zero weather ham-;
pered a force of 200 men brought
from the Elmendorf Air Force
Base at Anchorage, 50 miles away, i
On Kodiak Island, flames fan-!
ned by a strong wind advanced
on a 15-mile front toward the tiny
village of Ahkiok. The village of
200 population was less than two
miles from the flames. The million
dollar canneries of Pacific Amer
ican Fisheries and Libby-McNeill
& Libby also lie in the path of the
fire. |
A force of 100 men was flown
in hastily from the navy base at
