Vanu>r, who la International toes-,
surer of letory and pant presMent
of the Nauonalflrt Protection
Association, pointed to the recent
stories of disasters—Texas City,
Winecoff and LaSalle Hotel fires,
the HartfoiO circus fire, and the
Boston Coeoanut Grove disasters—
as proof that dving World War II
the American people became care
less about firs protection.
Already the aneual fire loss
amounts to $4.60 for every man,
woman, and child in the country,
Varner said. Faulty phyt'cal con
ditions and faulty human behavior
are the cause of dtoasters, he said.
Progress has been made in solving
scientific and engineering prob
lems in connection with fires, but
the human element shows for sighs
of improvement.
