LESSONS FROM THE FIRE
The Seward Gateway in a recent issue published the
following editorial on “ Lessons from the Fire," and empha
sized the efficiency of the recently installed high pressure
pump that was acquired by the city council after many years
of futile effort to obtain this end. It may not be amiss to
call attention to the Nome City Council to this high pressure
pump apparatus and investigate as to its feasibility here.
“The fact that only two buildings in the business section
were burned to the ground in the recent fire instead of the
entire business section or city, is credited to the efficient
Seward Volunteer Fire Department in the use of the recent
ly installed high pressure pump, a pump that was acquired
by them only after years of appeal to obdurate city councils,
and then only after the firemen had personally contributed
S150 of the total purchase price of $380.
Without the pump the story undoubtedly would have
been different. Not only the firemen themselves, but gen
eral observers give the new piece of fire-fighting apparatus
and a 100 per cent water system full credit for halting the
spread of the flames to adjoining buildings.
The new pump paid for itself many times over. Seen
functioning, a double sense of security from fire is felt by
residents and the hazard of loss is greatly lessened. But
even this is not sufficient.
“It might be well for couneilmen in authority to wisely
consider proposals made by experts for the welfare of the
city. The fire department had never any thought in mind
but fire protection from the first appeal made to purchase
this high pressure pump.
“Above all else adequate fire protection is paramount.
Certainly so over police patrol. Couneilmen have said in
numerable times that night fire patrols cost money. We can
name many other things that cost money, too. But a de
vastating fire costs not only much money, but puts in jeo
pardy the livelihood, the property and the lives of our citi
zens. It may be pointed out to couneilmen that lives come
first before money.
It was tortunate lor Reward tnat one oi oui ciuzens
was aroused from her sleep by a cat disturbed by the fire.
But it would not be well to place too much dependence upon
such fortuitous circumstances. There may not be any cat
in the vicinity of the next fire.
“The taxpayers furnish the capital, the sinews of city
government. Let the taxpayer, the citizens, in turn be pro
tected. Put a fire patrol on the job !”
DID YOU EVER STOP TO THINK?
t . By Edson R. Waite, Shawnee, Oklahoma
Did you ever stop to think that this is your state and
your nation, and that it is incumbent upon you as an indi
vidual, as well as upon public officials, to do your duty?
Did you ever stop to think that you ARE your brother’s
keeper, and that it is easier to criticize than to perform?

Steve Mills And
Another Pilot Saw
No Signs Hines
(By The Associated Press)
ANCHORAGE, Sept. 11, —Smoke
curling up from a camp fire in the
Lone Butte area one hundred and
fifty miles northeast of here yester
day gave hope that it may lead the
way to the missing Art Hines party.
However, pilots returned yesterday
to Anchorage saying that there was
no sign of the party.
Steve Mills reported the smoke
on a flight Tuesday but was 60 miles
North of the Butte and didn't have
gas enough to fly the extra mileage.
He returned here, refueled and took
off accompanied by pilot Don Good
man to visit the camp fire. They
were equipped with sleeping bags
and field glasses.
Lone Butte is far south and East
of the Dawson Fairbanks route, but
fliers believe Hines might have been
forced off his course. Anchorage
added one thousand dollars today
to aid in continuing the search.
