Disastrous Fire Sweeps Big Poultry Hatchery
   Selbyville, Del., Feb. 12 AP -- The White Oak Poultry Hatchery was destroyed
 by fire near here early today.  Its owner, Gomer Bunting, 35, estimated damages
 at 50 to 75 thousand dollars.
   The hatchery had a capacity of 168 thousand eggs.  Bunting said he was
 operating at near capacity.
   The blaze was discovered by a passerby about 11 p.m. last night.  Fire
 companies from nearby towns in Delaware and Maryland fought the flames until
 nearly dawn.
   The hatchery and a storage house were burned to the ground.  A barn and
 Bunting's house were saved.
   Bunting said the loss was partly covered by insurance.  There was no clue
 reported as to the cause of the blaze.
  Selbyville is in southern Delaware, just across the line from Maryland.
