NO SCRAMBLING

Eggs Taken Out Safely During Fire.

Staff Special to The News.

IRVING, Texas.---Workmen carted out 28 cases---or 840 dozen---eggs without scrambling a one Tuesday when fire broke out in the candling house of the Johnson Poultry Company on Pecan Road.

County Fire Marshal Hal Hood said the fire apparently resulted from a cigarette or match thrown in a trash pile outside the building.

Damage was estimated at $800. He said about $500 damage was to the building and the remainder to machinery and paper egg cartons inside. He credited the relative low loss to fast work by the Irving Fire Department.

Mrs. J. E. Kelly of Irving was listed as owner of the building.
