Fire Escapes By providential blessing Norwaik folks were only startled on Saturday morning. when the Evening Sentinel's early "extra" announced the Clifford Hotel contlagration. by accounts of heavy loss and effects. It might easily have been a frightful record of verit- able human holocaust. however. in- stead of merely material losses, re- grettable as they may be to the suf- ferers. That the city was not shocked to its depths by such news would 'seem to be attributable largely to the presence of mind. courage and promptitude of rescuers. and not to any of those ordinary material pro- visions which most city fire depart- ments have with which to work. 'It is appalling to reflect that, if a fire started and had caused the flames. to spread even more fiercely and. rapidly than they did. horrible death for many of the guests and occupants might have resulted. That we were spared such a tragedy as would have cast a. pull of horror over Norwaik is cause for gratitude and rejoicing. But the lesson will surely penetrate so deeply into the civic consciousness that Norwalkers in addition to better fire-lighting equipment will de- mand the immediate installation of adequate fire escapes on all its public buildings. “Experientia deceit." but a. modern sage has substituted for "experience teaches" oi‘ the Latin philosopher. a 'more up—to-date adage to the effect that "the fool learns by his own ex- perience. the wise by that of others." Our readers will remember that, after the disaster last year in \Vashington. D. 0., when a moving-picture theatre collapsed inflicting heavy loss of life, the most. rigorous means were im- mediately adopted to ensure certainty that the construction of other thea- tres was sound. Where doust existed. as tb their complete safety they were peremptoriiy shut up until the re- quired changes were made. Note. however. that all this thought and energy and precaution were taken after the sacrifice of many lives had saddened many homes! Norwalk cannot and will not wait for a second visitation of fire to lea'rn its need of adequate fire-escapes inI premises where the public is invited to gather and stay. A salutary object- lesson has been staged for the city's thoughtful consideration. It calls for prompt and decisive action. “HO ‘ Tut A modern witch do ctor in Denver syn that Henry Ford is the rein- carnation of King Tut. That's a. new Ford joke. false like most of the others. If Ford in a once had really been King Tut. those chariots they have been taking from the tomb in Egypt would not have been so crude. Scientists say that Tut's tomb yielding priceless treasure. through their eyes. But few of us would give attic space to the tomb's contents. if we didn’t know its source. Values are largely imaginary, price- 'less to some. junk to others. It all depends on the viewpoint. —___ “Smut” Police charge that thousands copies of an obscene "Smut" have been sold high school boys and girls. this, many grown-ups will shake their heads and comment that the rising , generation certainly is going to pot.
