UJ-Authorities intimated today that carelessness caused the fire which yesterday killed 30 patients of a sanitarium, most of them aged men and women. Maurice Baird, 37, a plumber, was working in the basement on the Lake Forest sanitarium's two oil burning furnaces, transferring their fuel connections from an inside storage tank to an outside one. He was assisted by one of the aged patients. Sheriff Harlan Callahan said a match was struck to relight one of the furnaces when tla new con- 1-4. 1 iL.l Here From Anna M.

One day on the approaches to Buna, a Transport Command delivery was scheduled. But someone had neglected to place signals indicating the unloading area.

When the planes roared over, their pilots didn't know where to drop the supplies. It happened to be washday for me, and my clothes were around to dry on rocks and boughs. Within a minute they were requisitioned, spread out in the code form.

Pilots take their chances in all kinds of weather, particularly on mountaia crossings, Many times, pilots gel half way to their goal only to be turned back by blistery winter storms among the peaks, or by impencr t'rable fog which hangs over mountains and lowlands for hundreds of miles.

The pilot's eternal question is whether to go on through and risk losing plane and precious supplies and one good pilot or turn back and deprive the men up forward of rations, ammunition and mail. One pilot tried for three consecutive days to get through to Wau, where food and other supplies were needed desperately. The fourth day, bad weather continuing he chanced it, encountering storms and fogs all the jway. He couldn't find the unloading area, but at tree-top level he spotted a primitive landing strip.

Be careful always but especially now! Impromptu Runways that wasn't enough. And it was the Transport Command which filled in the blanks and delivered the goods almost always exactly where and when they were needed most. These pilots would have been grounded for life, if, back home they risked lives and planes using the same kind of jungle landing strips or flying through the same kind of weather they have in New Guinea.
