Mrs. Anna Miller, 55, and her son Lowell, 25, were among the many persons who opened their doors to the fire refugees. Lowell said the flames tried to follow the injured. "A lot of sparks flew over to our roof," he said. "I got our f garden hose, but there was no pressure. I guess it was all going into the hospital. "Then I climbed on the roof and kept dousing it with water that some fellows passed me in buckets." Mrs. Miller said they took care of three women and three men. She said they were "all pretty badly burnt, and one lady had a back injury." Mrs. Walter Laue said that she took four patients to her home. about a half mile from the hos- pital. Two of them were bad-ly bad-ly burned. "All they did was call for their families," she said. "It was just terrible. We're still not over the shock."

Mining For War Waste Profitable DENVER (U.R) Thomas A. Gra ham is doing a little "mining" these days at the abandoned Remington Arms plant. Graham, a contractor, is digging dig-ging as deep as ten feet in the ground at the plant here, and has so far turned up metals valued at more than $6,000 which the government had given up as lost material. The "miner," a former secret service operator, couldn't see why test bullets, metal shavings, scraps and pipes which were buried during the war should be completely com-pletely wasted. A contract was worked out which permitted Graham to dig out the metal and market it, with about one-third of the profit going to the government. govern-ment. chop up the tires while the car was in front of her house.

THE '49 FORD AS "FASHION Blaze Labeled One of the Worst In U. S. History By United Press The fire at St Anthony's hospital hos-pital in Effingham, 111., believed to have killed 57 persons, was the nation's second worst hospital hos-pital fire. The most disastrous hospital fire was the one which swept the Cleveland Clinic hospital on May 15, 1929, killing 125. Third largest death toll in a hospital fire was recorded after the Lake Forest Park sanitarium sani-tarium in Seattle on Jan. 31, 1943 in which 32 died. In other major hospital and asylum fires, 26, aged and infirm in-firm persons died at the asylum of the Little Sisters of the Poor in Pittsburgh on July 25, 1931, while 22 patients and three guards were killed in a fire at a hospital for the mentally ill at Wards Island, New York, on Feb. 18, 1923. Other major fires in recent years and the death tolls were: Dec. 7, 1946 Winecoff Hotel, Atlanta, 120. June 5, 1945 LaSalle hotel, Chicago, 62. July 6, 1944 Circus fire, Hartford, Conn., 168.

Joseph Brummer, whose 12-year-old daughter, Doris, was in the hospital with a broken leg, groped through the smoke-filled corridors corri-dors in a fruitless search for her. "I got so far," he said, "and then the smell of burning flesh got me." He fainted and was carried from the building. Outside, witnesses cduld hear the screams of the trapped patients. pati-ents. Firemen, nurses and volunteers broke into a store room for mattresses, mat-tresses, spread them beneath the windows outside and pleaded with the patients to jump. It was doubtful if some of the bodies, burned and crushed in the debris, ever would be identified. Firemen said the thick smoke choked them and hampered their efforts. What caused the fire had not been determined, but firemen said the flames raced through the clothes chute and were carried swiftly to various sections of the building. Outside, witnesses could see the flames spurting from many of the Iwindows. Nurses from the hospitals nurses' home a half block away were awakened by the screams and ran to the scene to help administer ad-minister to the injured, to give them morphine to ease their pain. The hospital was supposedly fireproof and was equipped with its own fire extinguishing system. You notice the new "feel" of Ford's King-Size Brakes, too. "Magic Action" helps them work 35 asier.
