RandIe Highlands Portable
School Buildings Criticized

The two portable buildings of the
Randle Highlands School were crit
icized by the Southeast Business
mems Association last night as poor
ly heated and insanitary.
The association cited in particu-
lar the inadequate heat given out
by the old-fashioned coal stoves
and the necessity Of heating water

drains because the lavatories had
been stopped up with ice.
The nearest real school is the Orr,

~ the Associated Press.

9y the Associated Press.
BRUSSELS, Feb. ia retired
Belgian general who advised the
Finnish Army in the construction
of the Mannerheim Line says the
arrival of spring and warm weather
should make these defenses even
stronger than they have proved
during the current winter CAM
paign.
Gen. Emile Badoux, called to Fin
land nine months ago by Field
Marshal Baron Carl Gustaf Man
nerheim, explained in an interview

chieftain, have many water breaks.
Frozen over, these permitted con-
centrated attacks In many areas
where operations will be impossible
after the thaw comes.
At present these breeches are
under range Of Finnish artillery,
and when necessary the ice can be
broken by barrage.
Handicap In North.
Warm weather will work to the
advantage of the Russians, how
ever, military men believe, in the
region ranging northward from
Lake Ladoga to Arctic Petsamo,
where snow now makes forest at
tacks difficult.
Gen. Badoux, who returned to
Belgium shortly after the war be-
gan, said Baron Mannerheim feared
q Russian assault as long as a year
ago. The Belgian. who aided in
construction of Belgian fortifica-
tions on the German frontier, went
TO Finland as technical adviser.
Finnish officers, as well as the
soldiers, have strong nerves and
"cold blood" Gen. Badoux asserted,
and are inclined to be obstinate.
He said he had difficulty in convinc-
ing them OF the necessity for mod
ern fortif1cations, but won his point
after a lecture to army leaders.
Anu-Tank Guns Installed.
"In the very modern shelters I
had constructed" he said, "the OBJ
server, armed with a machine gun,
Is In little fortress. Like his COM
rades, he is invulnerable. The con-
crete protects him like the armor
OF an ancient knight.
He sees and cannot be seen. He
hres from an opening that cannot
be touched byshells. Two heavy
machine guns protect his fianks and
tie in with the field of fire OF neigh
boring blockhouses."
All openings in the line were
closed with defense barbed wire,
and Finnish machine gunners were
able to let the Russians approach
to within $50 feet before loosing q
devastating fire, Badoux said.
A great many anti-tank guns were
introduced after his arrival, Gen.
Badoux declared, and were per
