Victims on the roof were lowered to the ground in stokes baskets. Above, firefighters in airpacks assist a victim trapped in the area exposed to chlorine gas. Top right, with the stokes basket secured to the basket of the aerial, firemen on the ground take charge of moving the injured person to the staging area. Right, a helicopter is used to transport critical patients when speed is a necessity. Bottom right,; a physician from NIMC tends to the injured as they begin to arrive in the staging area. Bottom left, the only way to move the injured from the building was by legging it to the staging area. Coats and blankets were used to keep the victims warm. P P . Doctor can tell climate best suited for needs byCarlRlbletJr. --"I walk with a crutch because both of my hips were broken. I am 74. Not having much education, I have always done hard manual labor. I have seven children scat tered around the country. They seem healthy and so do their children. If I had known that I would live this long I'd have taken better care of myself. I have great pain. Do you think a drier climate would help me? I feel better out of the sun."--Victoria M.J. --Only a physician can properly advise Victoria, but if the sun bothers her, she had better think hard before going to a sun drenched, drier climate. It would seem that anybody who has lived all of 74 years and can get about with two broken hips, albeit with a crutch, would do well to stay put. --"Our house was robbed by burglars when we were out to a movie. Those awful people took our heirloom silver, valuable wat ches, $30,000 in government bonds and my father's priceless violin. Our insurance covers only $1,150 of the loss. We feel soiled. Now we have nothing. How can we live w i t h s u c h a t e r r i b l e thing?"--Marietta. --It's awful, I know. Some I have talked with about burglary in their homes say they feel the same--soiled and invaded. Nothing anybody can say will ever erase the memory of the invasion of her home from Marietta's mind. A police detective told me of the difference in insurance recovery by those who are well off and those who live in modest cir cumstances but have some wealth in valuables handed down in the family. The rich are loaded with insurance. They collect the limit when they are robbed and then purchase even better stuff to replace the stolen stuff. Those who - are not so well off never have enough insurance. It is too expen sive. Therefore, as anybody can see, they can never hope to recover the value of what is taken by burglars. There is only one sure protection. Valuables such as 'diamonds, silver, antique jewelry and bpnds must be kept in a safety deposit box at the bank. The pleasure of frequently handling and viewing them from time to time is denied, but the valuables will be safe, and always available when desired and needed. --"I am motivated for the first time in my life, ever, to write this kind of letter. I hope nobody in your office throws this note away as coming from some kind of nut. I have the feeling that Elizabeth, who wrote that she was lonesome and wanted to meet some men, and I, have something in common. I arrt a widower over 65.1 consider myself a gentleman of principle. So if you can find a chink in your wall of resistance to giving out ad dresses of those who write you, will you put Elizabeth and me in touch with each other as a big favor? I will not reveal the source or hold you responsible."--R. A. --I'm sorry, but I cannot. Many h a v e w r i t t e n a s k i n g f o r Elizabeth's full name and ad dress. I don't have it anymore. I destroyed it. For R.A. and others who may want pen pals, I suggest they write to the International Friendship League, 22 Bat- terymarch St., Boston, Mass., 02109. The league arranges for pen pals from all over the world, from youngsters of 10, to oldters of 80 and up. --"I am 62 and never worked under SS. My husband and I walk ed into a church in Baltimore in 1940 and said our marriage vows at the altar. After raising four children, now all over 25,. we decided to get married in the court house in Baltimore two years ago. My husband is drawing SS. He is 67. Am I eligible to draw SS on his past work record?"^-Mrs. Louis P. * --A great big resounding yes! to Mrs. Louis. As darkness comes earlier, accidents are more frequent With the return to Central Stan dard time, darkness is comiftg at an earlier hour, making driving especially hazardous in the late afternoon and early evening. The fatal accident rate in Il linois also increases sharply bet ween 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. when many motorists are returning home from work, according to the Illinois Department of Transpor tation. Be prepared to turn your headlights on earlier during winter months. Reduce your speed and increase your following distance as soon as it starts to get dark. Watch for children playing near the street who don't realize that your visibility has been reduced. Parents can help by dressing their children, in light-colored clothing and decorating coats and jackets with reflector tape. Fatal accidents decline between 6 p.m. and 9 p.m., but start to rise again and reach a peak around midnight. The Department of Transporta tion explains that the high fatality rate between 11 p.m. and 2 a.m. is caused primarily by intoxicated and sleepy drivers. Light traffic on streets and roads during the late night and early morning hours encourages unsafe speeds. These hours are 50 percent more dangerous during winter months. Fewer fatal accidents are reported during the morning rush hours between 6 a.m. and 9 a.m., because drivers are more rested and visibility is better.
