ATKA. via Unalaska. Oct. 13.—
On Friday morning at 6:00 o’clock
A. M. the cry of fire was heard,
Wm. Gardner giving the alarm.
I quickly sprang out of bed and
throwing a coat over my night
clothes, ran to the scene and found
the large seven room home of Mr.
and Mrs. Cedar Snigeroff about to
burst into flames caused by a de
fectic.e flue. I found that Mrs.
Snigeroff and her three children,
as well as two adults and five ad
opted children who were sleeping
upstairs, were all out and safe, the
children having been taken to the
adjoining homes and ’ dressed. By
this time every one in the village
was aroused and formed a bucket
brigade and every man and wo
man worked heroically hoping to
save a portion of the house or fur
niture or personal effects, but to
no avail as when several boxes of
ammunition, and gasoline and
kerosene became ignited the house
was in flames and beyond saving.
Our efforts were then given to the
nearby houses, which were already
burning, the furnishings taken out
and a steady pour of water extin- j
guished these flames, so little dam
age was done to the other houses.
The Snigeroff home was just re- j
decorated and new linoleum laid on j
all the floors, new rugs and furni- I
ture. It also contained price-1
less oil paintings, dating back to!
the year 1783, with the nrecious j
icons that means so much to the j
Greek Orthodox members. Mrs.!
Snigeroff was one of the finest bas- i
ket weavers, her entire collection of !
these rare baskets lost in the ■
flames and her clothing and!

After the fire the stricken family j
was taken to my home; with j
a warm fire and dry clothing they
were made comfortable, and later
breakfast was served the family
and after resting they moved into
a vacant house, temporarilly, as
Mr. Gardner has begun a new
structure and in about a week they
will be back in their own home
once more, although not the same j
beautiful home. Mrs. Snigeroff will I
be very glad to be settled again.
There was no insurance.

“Patient research — that
factor has characterized
nearly every great scientific
achievement, and the more
public spirited the enterprise
the more carefid it is to insure
successful results. Anyone
tvho reads about your modem
use of the Ultra Violet Ray in
the ‘Toasting* of the LUCKY
STRIKE tobaccos cannot fail
to recognize the long, patient
research and experiment
that must have preceded it. I
regard your development as
an accomplishment wrought
in the finest traditions
¥
%
LUCKY STRIKE—the finest cigarette you
ever smoked, made of the finest tobaccos
—the Cream of the Crop—THEN—"IT’S
TOASTED." Everyone knows that heat puri
fies and so TOASTING removes harmful
irritants that cause throat irritation and
coughing. No wonder 20,679 physicians
have stated LUCKIES to be less irritating!
Everyone knows that sunshine mellows—
that’s why TOASTING includes the use of
the Ultra Violet Ray.
