Dam- age was unofficially estimated at more than $300,000. Two fire- fighters went to the hospital. Captain George Arkwright was whisked off to the hospital with three broken ribs. He was back fighting the fire within half an hour, his ribs taped. Neil Mal- lette required five stitches to close a wound in his left hand, which had been cut by window glass. The building, owned by Term- inal Realty and Investment, On- tario, Ltd., housed Importhouse of Canada Ltd.; Magic Packag- ing Company; Donevan and Fleischmann, Surveyors; a Du- plate storage room, and a Smith Transport printing set-up. SULPHURIC ACID Peril for firefighters was in- creased by the presence of tanks filled with sulphuric acid and containers of peanut oil. The danger was made even more critical by the remnants of highly volatile isopropyl alco- hol in more than 100 barrels. Bloor, Simcoe Razed trucks and 70 men to fight the blaze. Across Bloor street from the fire, W. Hrycyshyn, proprietor of the South End Restaurant, also sounded the alarm. He telephoned the fire department and the police station after a girl ran in to tell him smoke was pouring from Importhouse of Canada. Firefighters played water on a safe in Donevan and Fleisch- mann's during the whole fire. This safe contained survey maps from lots all over Osh- awa. This company does all the city surveying. The loss of these maps could have been dis- astrous. However, after the fire was done, Chief Hobbs said only the top of the safe had been singed. WITHIN 10 FEET A huge 3500 gallon tank at the rear of Magic Packaging, contained raw sulphuric acid, to be used as car battery acid. The fire burned within 10 feet f this tank, but did not damage t. i Inside the blazing building there were two mixing tanks, containing 1200 gallons of acid solution, George Fletcher, presi- borers or troops, 299 passengers| jaa; rk made possible 3 These were quickly thundered|dent and general manager of and 34 'of the crew of 54 were ig hegiet Vo Sr ble; CAMP IRWIN, Calif.

More stock was stored in the basement. None of this was damaged, Chief Hobbs said. SAW SMOKE The alarm was sounded at 12:30 a.m. by Ernest Landry, of 595 Drew street. He said he had just come from Highway 401 when he saw the smoke. He didn't stop to find a telephone, but drove straight to the Cedar- dale Fire Station, located about two hundred yards away. He said it took the firefighters a minute and a half to get to the fire. Within seven minutes all its audience, the blaze fought through the roof and spewed a dramatic display of fireworks. For a long time, as the building was disintegrating into tangled debris, a lone television antenna stood in the centre, proud and unbending. Its final defeat was quick, and it crashed down, nar- rowly missing busy firefighters. ONLY CHARRED WALLS The fire was in control soon after 2 am. By 4:30 a.m. all onlookers had gone home. There remained only charred walls, a fire-ravaged interior, a pall of smoke and the firefighters working silently to put the finish to a hard night of work. | At Government Critics SAN DIEGO, Calif.

He kept a complete card index with infor- mation relative to crippled child- ren looked after by the Rotary club. This was the first thing he asked the firefighters to res- cue from the premises. They successfully wetted and remov- ed this index file from the fire. After the fire, rumors sug- gested it had started at the switchboard in Importhouse Canada. However, Chief Hobbs said he felt it had started far- ther back in the building. Six members of the Oshawa Police Department kept traf. fic from interfering with efforts to douse the blaze. The actual cause of the fire has not been determined, nor have there been any official estimates of total damage cost. Nordair Pilot's Body Recovered MONTREAL (CP) -- Divers have recovered the body of the pilot of an aircraft which crashed while landing on an northern Quebec lake Saturday, but there is little hope of find- ing the bodies of two other vic. tims, it was announced Mon- day. An official of Nordair Lim- ited of Montreal said the body of Capt. John Ward, 38, of Grand Bend, Ont., was found in the sunken Canso amphibian aircraft. The deep muddy wa- ters of the lake made efforts to find the bodies of Co-pilot Gas- ton Villemaire, 29, and Flight Engineer Jacques Durand, 23, both of Montreal, fruitless, he said.
