$150,000 BLAZE — A fire gutted Jal's B&B Food Market
early Tuesday causing what first estimates placed at $150,000
in damage. According to George Jackson, assistant fire chief,
the blaze began either from spontaneous combustion or from
a freon gas explosion above the store's freezing units. Owner
of the store, David A. Boyd, was working in the store and
heard what he described as an explosion, followed by the
fire. Jal firemen arrived on the scene about 6 a.m., later
calling Eunice for another pumper truck. (Staff photo by Lee

Kermit Firemen
Win District 6
Man Pump Race
The Kermit Volunteer Fire
Department took the six-man
pump team trophy at the annual
Permian Basin District Fire-
man Association convention last
week;
Kermit men won the six-man
race with a time of 20.2 seconds
as compared to the 21.2 seconds
held by second-place Seminole.
The two-man team also held
low time in the two* man hook up
race but Seminole questioned the
time and, after a brief discus-
sion, the Kermit team was dis-
qualified.
This ruling p ermitted S eminole
to take the trophy for Best All-
Around.
In a non-contest extra test Ker-
mit won the two-man special.
This event was a duplicate of the
two-man hookup.
