NORWICH BULLETIN WILLIMANTIC OFFICE Telephone 105 23 Chursh The five ton truck used by the Dexter Bread company of Springfleld to trans- port fts product to cities in this section of the state, had two mishaps Wiednes- day night while in Windham. As the truck reached the Willimantic cemetery the ariver found his truck blazing and went a call to a local garage. The. fire was extinguished after a hard fight The Bre was caused by ovi brakes »n the transmission shaft. " The truck sontinued on its way but about 10 o'clock while at South Windham anothar blaze broke out. Members of the South Wind- sam Fire Company secured a line of hose and soon had a stream playing on the fire which was again extinguished. The fifteen thousand loaves of bread were hastily pulled from the truck to save them from destruction, but several hun- dred of them were spoiled by smoke and water. The delivery to cities further south was made by othe rtrucks se- cared to carry a portion of the load. The truck was not damaged to a great extent and some of the bread was ear- ried in the truck.
