Ten Die as Store Fire Claims Ten Lives in Nova Scotia
A Christmas display caught fire in a Kay Ltd department store in Ralipax Nova Scotia. Police Chief Verdun Mitchell said the death toll could rise as searchers faced hazardous conditions in a crumbling building. Ten bodies were recovered, with damage exceeding 8500,000 and adjoining shops damaged by smoke. The blaze, described as the city’s worst since 1929, began on the third story towland just before closing time with about 30 shoppers and staff inside. An explosion sent debris and shattered glass into the street as firefighters fought the blaze. One woman suffered burns and a 10 year old boy, Ronald Mulholland, escaped while others were aided by passersby. The state building reportedly had a single rear door and no sprinkler system.

Plan for Civil Defense Heads Heated Congressional Debate
Washington debates a plan by the National Resources Security Board to create a single powerful civil defense administrator reporting only to the President.
