Missing Boy Found Safe Bath "It behooves us as American citizens to keep our selves informed, keep our feet on the ground, and not to be swayed by radical ideas, no matter how fancy they may be dressed up," stated Judge George W. Pratt of lie was addressing the annual meeting of the Steuben Rural Electric Cooperative yesterday afternoon in FLAMES RAZE Basket Factory Fire Threatens Dozen Homes Penn Yan well over 5100.000." stated G. L. Barden, president of the Barden 6c Robeson Corporation, basket manufacturer, In speaking of the total loss by fire of the company's two-story Sheppard Street plant at 3:40 a.

m. yesterday. Declaring that the factory con-fo-'ji recently inventoried at and that contents, equipment, and were a total loss, Barden declined to give any closer estimate of loss until he has had an opportunity to check up. The plant made baby basinettes and doll baskets. Dozn Homes Periled The spectacular blaze, which threatened a dozen orore nearby homes, first was discovered by the erew of a northbound Pennsylvania Railroad freight train who turned in a box alarm at 3:40 a.

m. Almost simultaneously Forest Northrup, night fireman at the plant, had discovered flames inside the building and tried to quell them. Quickly finding that this was impossible, he tried to send an alarm from the hex at the corner of Sheppard Street and North Avenue, but was unable to open the door, which apparently was held shut by paint. He ran to the firehouse in North Main Street and turned in the alarm there. With all fire-fighting equipment quickly on the job, and 10 lines of hose attempting to keep the fire restricted to the elongated factory building which was situated on the east side of the Pennsylvania tracks Just off North Avenue, it frequently was necessary to divert streams to the dwellings 200 and feet away, on the opposite side of Sheppard Street.

'Penn Yan would have lost many ef its homes In the northeast section," declared Fire Chief Wallace Washburn, "if this terrible blaze had occurred during the dry season 2 weeks ago." A steady downpour protected countless homes in that part of the village from the embers which were scattered far and wide by the strong, shifting winds. Dense smoke rolling close to the ground hampered the efforts of firemen and made the homes in the section practically uninhabitable. The flames apparently started in or near the paint booths immediately north of and adjacent to the boiler room. A large stock of materials used in making basinettes and doll basinettes, including a fibre for padding the sides of the cribs, fed the flames which doomed the factory from the start. Supplies of paint stored outside the building and used to spray the baby baskets soon exploded under the intense heat, shooting flames more than 300 feet in the sir.

65 Km ployed In riant About 65 persons were employed In this particular part of the Barden Robeson business, but even more now are out of work because a new boiler was In process of installed in the home plant across North Avenue and steam was being piped under the road frcm the Sheppard Street system. The manufacture of fruit containers in the North Avenue plant, for which steam was required from the boiler across the highway, now will be halted also. The industry In the burned plant was started 40 years ago when George H. Frederick of Stark Avenue built a small canning factory there. New buildings and modern machinery were added in 1911 and when the late H.

C. Ovenshire and Fred C. Whitaker, now on Court Street, assumed an Interest In the business, operating as the Yates County Canning Company. Interlaken Wayne Brown, son of Mr. and Mrs.
