MARRIED TEACHERS MAY HOLD PLACES
Local Board Expected to Adopt Proposal; Fire
 men Given Raise

Favorable feeling toward allowing local women teachers who marry servicemen yo continue their educa- tional duties for the duration was reported by the rules committee at 8 Board of Education meteing last night, but definite action in mak- ing the necessary change of rules was postponed pending further study of local considerations.
 Commissioner Perry Graicerstein and Joseph DeLuca reported they were in favor of the change but wished first to study the tenure act and other technicalities hat would be involved If such action should be allowed.
 Commissioner Harold Parkinson asked that consideration would be given to young women whose names are on the waiting list and indi- cated he favored similar rights for them, without los sof place on t,ae waiting list If they should marry 8 Serviceman before obtaining m appointment.
 Pay for school firemen was dis cussed and the board voted raise from $28 to $35. It was pointed out the firemen serve seven days weekly, through holidays. Because of the present pay several pros- pective job-holders have declined the employment, it was reported. The recommendation of the board will be turned over to the mayor and the raise will take effect as soon as he gives his approvad, 1t was indicated.
 The question of dismissing high school students week earlier be- fore Christmas was suggeted but Dr. Thomas J. Condon pointed out the school schedules had already been made out and no early dismissal was planned. The suggestion was made at the request of Postmaster Charles A. Babin who said students would be needed to meet the holiday rush business. Similar requests are ex- pected from merchants who will need extra workers, it was pointed out, but no action was taken.
 A plea for greater attendance was made by Commissioner Graicerstein who urged Dr. Condon to conduct publicity campaign to show young people the importance of continuing their studies. He said high school boys should be urged not to enlist in military service but continue with their studies until the Selec- tive service regulations effect them. He said too many students may be tempted by the lure of war jobs or by desire for active military duty and later may regret their sever- ance from studies, he said.

Giroud Now 'OnIyWor'
BY REYNOLDS PACKARD


 United Press Staff Correspondent)
 Allied Headquarters, North Africa, Aug. 31.-(UP)-Gen. Henri Honore Giraud is devoting his entire atten- tion and energy to the war, and politics must wait until the Allies win it, the French commander-in- chief made clear today in an ex- elusive conversation with this cor respondent.
 Giraud also professed his satisfac- ton with the United States equip ment his soldiers have received, de- clarjng his confidence that 1t will enable the French to restore them- selves as fighting power in the near future.
 Those were the outstanding im- pressions I received from talking with Giraud for more than 30 min- utes. We chatted in his private of- flee, the walls of which were cov- cred with maps of North Africa and lined with books.
 My first impression was of the evident stiffness of his military bearing. But after we seated our- selves in spacious low leather chairs, he relaxed personally and physical ly. Smiles frequently punctuated his conversation, and he gestured at the maps to sections of which he spoke.
 Fairies Questions
 GiraudS handlebar moustache seemed less austere as he sat there his bluish eyes twinkling. Whenever I drew the conversation toward any controversial French issue, he quick ly switched the subject to the beau- ties of North Africa.
 After Giraud dismissed the inter- preter, who at first was present in case my French wasn't up to the occasion, we settled down alone, talk ing about the war and the French people.
 He told me about his experiences as a war prisoner in Germany, and I mentioned that I had been in- termed five months in Italy.
 "Allora Lei Parla bene -taliano' (then you speak Italian welD, he exclaimed, and went on talking to me in perfect Italian for some time
 He explained that when Arch bishop Spellman of New York came to North Africa, he talked with Spellman in Italian. They started out with an interpreter until he found that the visitor spoke Italian. Then Giraud, who dislikes interper- ters, dismissed the one they had.
 Giraud made it clear that he was in no mood to discuss the political side of the French question. To him 1t is a question entirely of the war effort; no politics.
 I had the impression, however, that he was satisfied with and proud of the unity achieved between him and Gen. Charles De Gaulle which enabled him to concentrate on his war task.
 Another impression I gathered was that Giraud was anxious about his wife and children. who still are in occupied France under the constant vistencs Of the osstapo.

PLEASURE DRIVES
 LEGAL TOMORROW

Local drivers were counting ths hours to midnight tonight when they will be able to take that long ruled- out pleasure drive. With the pleasure driving ban removed tomorrow, local traffic is expected to increase mo- ticeably, but dealers predict little more gasoline will be consumed.
 Present low value of "A" coupons will offset any large increase in use oof gasoline dueto lifting of the OPA ban. it is believed. Distributors, however. urged consumers not to flock to stations tomorrow as the current s>.Solies are not heavy and & rush may leave station gas line tanks empty.

FIREMAN, SAVE THAT COAL!

This b the last of six articles
 especially prepared for NEA Serv-
 ice by fuel consertion experts.
 From the first fire of the season to the last, the attention that you give your furnace is an important factor in helping you achieve indoor comfort in spite of zero weather and a not-too- plentiful fuel supply.
 If you have converted to coal, you will find that the more proficient you are as a fireman, the more heat you will get out of the fuel you do burn.
 To start the first fire, shake the grates to loosen the ashes and make them porous so that air can flow up through them. There should be two inches of ash spread evenly across the grate area. If ash is not avail able, substitute three or four inch thickness of coal. Put generous amount of papers and kindling on top of the layer of ashes or coal.
 For maximum draft and a rapidly burning fire, open wide the turn damper in the smoke pipe and the aShpit door. Then cover the burn- ing paper and kindling with thin layer of coal. When that is burning strongly, add enough coal to make a deep fire bed.
 USE PLENTY OF COAL
 A deep fuel bed saves you fre- quent trips to the furnace. Feed fuel into your heater so that the new coal is on level with the fir ing door and slopes upward toward the back of the firebox. At the fire box door, leave a bright" spot of burning coal to ignite the fresh fuel and burn off the gases. The number of times your fire needs tending will depend on the type and size of your heater and the weather.
 On mild days. shake the grates n the morning only if it is necessary to make room for fresh coal Then add your coal. Use small Jumps, which will the air openings and hold back the fire, in combination with large Jumps.
 Adjust check and ashpit dampers according to outside weather condi- tions. They should work alternately when one is opened, the other should be closed. If the weather warrants, leave them at nearly bank ing conditions.
 In cold weather, shake the grates until the first red glow appears in the ashpit. You're morning routine should include closing the check damper and opening the ashpit damper to point which will be adequate for weather that day. ADJUST DRAFTS
 In very cold weather, you will have to control the drafts, shaking the grates and adding new coal, during the day. Change the posi- tion of the turn damper only in case of extreme weather changes.
 Shake the grates in the evening only if this is necessary to make room for enough coal to last through the night. Do not neglect to use the smaller sizes of coal in banking. Open the check damper and close the ashpit damper. Remove any ashes from the pit.
 If you notice the smell of coal gas, close the check damper for a few minutes after adding the new coal, leaving the ashpit damper closed too, so as not to overheat the house and waste coal. Open the firing-door damper for minute at the same time.
