the Smouldering ruins of an old

Seventy of the 155 inmates, in
Guiding As women, were reported
missing in the disappearing
fire. A ripping explosion follow

tire building was aflame in three
or four minutes. Another said
about is minutes.
Authorities were puzzled by the
speed with which the flames rae
ed through the two-story brick
building.
Tighter Rules Demanded
The fire brought quick de-
mands for State legislation that
would tighten safety regulations
for nursing homes and inStitu-
lions for the aged.
DR.. James r. Amos, director
Of the State Health Division
said the home was inspected re-
Gently for a license renewal. He
said one recommendation was to
have electrical wiring checked by
a competent electrician. He added
he thought the home could have
complied with the license re-
quirementS.
The charred bodies of the vic
tins were buried in a pile Of
twisted iron beds, plumbing fix
lures, brick and mortar in the
basement.
Searchers moved about one ton
of debris to locate each body
Some were all but cremated.
Floors Collapse
The building went down by
floors. The roof fell in. The Sec
ond floor followed and it all COL
lapsed into the basement.
The ruins were cooled BY blasts
Of water. Workers then went
into the isolated section for their
grim task. When it got too hot,
they moved on.
None of the 10 inmates re-
ported missing had turned up

Iects under construction involv-
ling some So million in estimated
costs.
During the years 1852 through
l956, Methodists in the WASH
Iington area undertook more than
Ills projects at a total cost of
more than $7.25 million.
Use Of Credit Cited
Financing all this work is
approached in a number of ways.
Few parent churches" have the
strength to make an outright
lgift of a $65,000 building to a
new church they are seeking to
start. but many use their credit
standing to back up a construc-
ltion loan.
The Baltimore Conference of
the Methodist Church. which
includes the District and nearby
Maryland, has a Church Build
Iers' Club. The organization has
200 members, all agreed to give
$40 each on call not more than
three times a year. to help es-
tablish new church.
Many denominations have re-
volving funds of some type
which will make loans to new
lchurches starting up with the
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1957-01-27

agreement that the money be
repaid as the church strengthens.
Several problems face church
building. One is the current tight
mortgage market. Another is
that by the time an area develops
to the point where it will support
a new church, land costs Of suit
able church sites will have shot
up fairly high.
Meeting q Need
The Comfy Commission tries
to help out on the second one by
keeping an eye on planned de-
velopment and passing its infor-
NATION along to its member de-
nominations.
However, no letup is predicted
in the pace Of religious construc-
ton. According to Vladimir E
Hartman, director of the Depart
Iment Of Research and Planning
of the Federation.
Church building continues al
an all-tirne high in spite of fl.
Inancing difficulties. The need
exists and the churches are meet
lit as rapidly as possible because
the people in new communities
want and need new churches"
