BROOK, INDIANA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 13, 1945 50th Year Number 9 PREMIUM WINNERS AT NEWTON COUNTY FAIR Two Killed In Auto Wreck Nu-Joy Destroyed By Fire County Service Officer Appointed Sons, Lowell. Senior Yearling Sow: 1st, H. T. Tyler Sons, Lowell; 2nd, L. E.

The Nu-Joy restaurant at Kent-land, together "with all fixtures and supplies was completely destroyed by fire last Sunday afternoon shortly after noon. The fire, that started in the kitchen, spread so fast that one or two cash registers were the only things taken from the building. According to one of the employees who works in the kitchen, there were several large pans of grease on the range. He thinks that the flue was probably defective and that sparks fell from it into the grease and the entire kitchen "was immediately enveloped in flames. In addition to the Kentland fire department, the fire departments from Watseka, Sheldon, Morocco, Brook, Goodland, Fowler and Earl Park were called and they assisted in protecting nearby buildings.

The building was owned by Henry Reinhardt, of Kentland, and was leased to the Interstate Company, of Chicago and was managed by Harold Holmberg. A building housing a garage at the north side of the restaurant building was of fire-proof construction and did not burn.

MUCH COMMENT ON AMERICAN LEGION TENT The tent sponsored by the American Legion posts of the county at the Fair brought much favorable comment. Marked off to represent a cemetery, with 48 white crosses, representing the number of men from this county lost in action, it was a memorial to these men. Also a large white lighted cross represented the grave of the unknown soldier and a large plaque in the tackground gave the names of all Mien in the county who made the supreme sacrifice.

Much of the credit for the memorial is due Harry Blaney, commander of the Morocco Friday members of the American Legion and a number of service men lead the livestock parade. The American flags from the four posts -were carried by the Commanders and the post colors were also in the parade. The posts are already makiig plans for a much more elaborate dis play for next year. Monday, Sept. 24 ALBERTA, J.
