Approach was made some time) ago to the Home Office by the County Councils' Associations, and these new regulations are the sequel. They asked for an even- ing up of the law regarding non- Ham and ordinary film.
The 'new regulations which are awaiting the Home Secretary's signature take especial regard of fast burning and slow burning. film.

AGED WOMAN PERISHES
One woman is dead and three other persona-a garage proprio- tor, his son, and daughter-ara lying in Weymouth District Hos- pital seriously injured as a result of a fire on Weymouth sea front in the early hours of the morning. It broke out in the drawingroom of a flat above the garage of Mr. Dan Guy, of Gloucester Row, Wey- mouth.
The flames aprend so rapidly that the people sleeping in the rooms above, by jumping in one caso, and by heroic rescues on the part of an hotel chef in another caso, escaped the fate of a 70- year-old woman, Mrs, Bloxham, of Choltonham, sleeping alone on the top floor, who was trapped in the blazing Ant with all monne of excape cut off, and was brought out dead,
The people in the flat were Mr. and Mra. Dan Guy, their grown. up son and daughter, and Mrs. Bloxham, of Cheltenham,
It was the terrifying screams of the women at the windows in their night attire which brought people to the spot, including Mr. Fenner, a chef at a hotel next door, who got a short Indder and, balancing it on the sign above the garage entrance, helped Mrs. Guy and her daughter down. Then helpėd the son. The two latter were bad- ty burnt. Mr. Guy, senfor, jump-i ed from a third-floor window and broke a leg.
At the window of a bedroom above appeared the lerror-stricken figure of Mrs: Bloxham, for one moment only. She was not seen alive again.
