District Fire Chief J.D. MADDOX said the children were aged eight months and two years. He refused to release their names pending the notification of their father, who works out of state.
A neighbor who shares the other half of the duplex where the fire occured told investigators the mother of the children apparently had left them alone briefly while she went to the nearby grocery store.
Mrs. Pam STEPHENS said she fled through her back door with her baby and dog when she saw flames leaping across the front porch.
The fire department received its first call about the fire at 9:04 p.m.
ARTICLE: Pause and Ponder, Joe M. CUMMINGS and Gerald L. BROWN Jan. 1979
He who knows nothing, loves nothing. He who can do nothing understands nothing. He who understands nothing is worthless. But he who understands also loves, notices, sees...The more knowledge is inherent in a thing, the greater the love...Anyone who imagines that all fruits ripen at the same time as the strawberries knows nothing about grapes...Paracelsus.
One has to develop his total personality in order to achieve the capacity to love or be loved. Most people see the problem of love primarily as that of being loved, rather than that of loving. Love is not a sentiment-It is an art!

Under a cooperative arrangement the Southwestern Bell Telephone Co. also will use the poles carrying the 12,000 volt transmission line, for a communication cable.
