In much less than that time perhaps in as little as 15 minutes those caught inside had lost all chance of escape. ' The speed with which the fire brought death and ruin is one of the most shocking features of the tragedy that struck early Sunday morning. With the shock comes the disturbing realization that, in certain types of accommodation, the life of every guest depends not only on his or her own discretion but on that of all others in the building. It is understood that the King George Hotel was equipped with all the safety precautions, possible in a rooming establishment of old design and that these had been inspected just a short time previously.

Unless we accept this, we would be forced into the absurd position of suggesting that all but the most modern structures be condemned. In Prince Rupert particularly, such a course is entirely out of the question. For better or worse, a high percentage of the city's public dwellings is made up of structures built 40 or more years ago. Until we have something more up-to-date to offer, they must remain. Many of them are clean and well-run and, to the best of their capacity, are filling a pressing need at a time when suitable accommodation is scarce. Responsibility for preventing disasters such as ; Sunday's thus devolves on each and every individual j who happens to be in the building. Throwing away j a lighted match or cigarette, smoking in bed, leaving '' a burning cigarette on the edge of a table, carelessly knocking out a pipe any of these or similar acts is potential suicide, to say nothing of manslaughter.1 Tragic as it was, the King George Hotel fire again brought to light gratifying evidence that the people of Prince Rupert are always ready to extend a generous hand to those in distress. From all side3 offers have come to help the survivors whose plight inust surely be moderated by this proof that they are among friends. At the same time, it was painfully apparent tnat the city is not prepared for such emergencies, paving performed their valiant job of confining the flames, firemen also took over the duties of a ielief committee by finding beds at the firehall for GHie of the stranded guests. Other survivors made wt as best they could under improvised arrange-"ments. ;' In this connection, the Red Cross's appeal for iupport should be? given sympathetic attention. Here H "an organization dedicated to help those in ptd, but it can carry out its mission only if it has personal as well as financial support. Given this, it .could take immediate command in a calamity and 4ipise its mercies with dispatch. There are surely those in Prince Rupert with ,3'will to be on call to take over the emergent duties 'required in Ridden disaster. Perhaps they could form themselves into a standing committee which would act under the guidance of the Red Cross. Whatever the arrangement, something of the sort is urgently needed here.
