Women evacuating Staber’s Beauty Salon because of a fire at the nearby Melody Lane Café. The fire began in the roof of the Melody Lane kitchen and high winds swept the blaze through neighboring Wilshire Blvd. businesses including Staber’s Salon, the Pig’n Whistle candy and pastry shop, Randall Optometrist, McKiernan’s Fashions, Horton & Converse Pharmacy. Capt. Noble Swanson suffered a back sprain, bruises and cuts when a section of roof caved in on him. No one else was injured but total damage was estimated to exceed $200,000.
