Auditorium to Remain Intact
1t was announced this week that
the high school auditorium would re-
main intact this fall and winter, and
would not be divided into classrooms
as previously decided.
The question of dividing the audi
forum as a means of relieving con-
gestion while the new high school was
being completed, has been ruled out
as impractical and too costly for the
temporary nature of the change. In
stead, Mr. Hardesty said that four
one-room school buildings are to be
moved to the school property where
they will serve as four temporary
classrooms.
With the addition of the seventh
grade in the high school this year,
there is an anticipated enrolment of
,701 in the five high schools in grades
seven through twelve.
F. D. Bittle, high school supervisor,
said he had estimated the probable en-
rollment as follows: Friendsville, 225;
Accident, 1888; Grantsville, 345; Kitz-
miller 17S; and Oakland, TO.

'chimneys. Others are caused by
rusted or cracked pipes and fit
tings. Look over your heating sys-
TEN now. If your chimney needs
it, clean it out. If the furnace
pipes and connections are cracked
and rusted, replace them.
Teach your family not to put
magazines, papers, or clothing on
radiators or near open flames.
Don't hang fimsy curtains near
your kitchen stove. Don't allow
lamp shades to come in contact
with light bulbs. Remember that
such things don't have to touch
flame to burn. They will catch fire
simply because they are too close
to the heat for too long.
Gasoline, benzine, naptha, and
similar fluids should never be used
indoors. When mixed with air,
their vapors can be ignited by the
spark of a light switch or an
electric fan, or the tiny flame of
pilot light. Keep such fluids in
tightly closed metal containers
outside your home.
And remember: oil-soaked rags,
especially rags that have been
used to spread quick-drying liquids
such as turpentine, paint thinners,
and some furniture polishes, can
catch fire by themselves. Oily rags
should be stored in air-tight metal
containers. 1t is best to keep them
outside the house.

The majority of all fires start in
trashpiles, rubbish, or stored odds
and ends that accumulate around
the house. Closets, attics, and
cellars are the main source of
home fires, and plain ordinary good
housekeeping is a strong line of
defense against them.s
Clean out your storage places.
You will be surprised at how many
burnable odds and ends are really
useless to you. Don't let them
make your home fire hazard. Get
rid of them. If local welfare
agencies can't use them, call the
junk man.
Don't stop when you've cleared
out the inside of your house. Go
after rubbish in your back yard, in
alleys and in vacant lots near your
home. Collect the rubbish and burn
it. Don't leave it around to burn if
an enemy bombs your city. Be
sure to burn rubbish in metal
containers.
Take a look at your electrical
system. Buy new plugs and cords
if yours are worn. Get advice from
an electrician if your fuses blow
frequently. They may be danger
ously overloaded. His advice may
prevent a bad fire.

started by faulty furnaces, stoves,
and other heating plants. Some

Ships Trading With China
Traced 10 Foreign Capital
BY the Assoeiated Press

Admiral Forrest P. Sherman
said yesterday the number of
Panama registered ships trading
with Communist China had ''in-
creased threefold" since Novem-
Der, 1850.
But the Navy Chief of Staff
disputed popular belief that
most Of them are owned by
United States capital.
Admiral Sherman told the Sem
ate Armed Services and Foreign
Relations Committees he had a
study made of 81 vessels flying
the Panama flag. which he said
are currently operating into Red
Chinese ports.
He found, he said. "a Of the
ship owners were British, eight
Chinese, four, Greek and one of
them "a man in New York with
a Greek name"
Admiral Sherman said a survey
showed that the volume of ship
I ping to Red China in Greek
registered vessels also mounted
swiftly after the Korean war
started. and reached a peak in
December. He said it has de-
|clined sharply since then, but he
did not give the figures.

Army Speeds Work
On Guided Missile as
Anti-Aircraft Weapon
BY the Associated Pres,

The Army is hastening to catch
lup with the Navy in getting guided
missiles to knock down high-alti-
Itude, high-speed enemy planes.
It disclosed today-through is
suance of a picture and brief
Icaption-that two companies are
developing jointly for the Army
Ordnance Corps some form OF
missile. The Army announcement
followed by several days q Navy
statement saying a Navy anti-air-
craft guided missile already is in
production.
Working on the Army project
are the Bell Telephone Labora-
tories and the Douglas Aircraft
leo. Beyond that fact. the Army
said only the weapon is an Army
surface-to-air guided missile"
However. the photograph indi-
Gates the missile is either Of boost
Ter or twe-stage type. 1t appears
Ito be composed of two parts-the
true missile and a base section de-
signed either to get the missile
started from the earth "a booster)
or to continue propelling 1t high
aloft until the rocket fuel is ex-
hausted and the missiles own
power plant starts "a two-stage
device). In two-stage missile
the first stage separates and falls
of the missile at the instant the
initial fuel source is exhausted.
Apparently to produce better
horizontal flight. the missile is
equipped with small dart-shaped
fins or wings forward and larger
control and stabilizing fms aft.
The picture gives no clue as to
Its "homing" or "target-seeking =
mechanism, although 1t may in
clude some such gear in view Of
Its designation as a guided missile.
It is not clear why the Army
and Navy need different missiles
to hit the same type Of target.
One explanation may be that a
missile launched from the COM
lparatively unstable platform of a
ship may require different char
acteristicS than one fired from the
firm, fixed position Of a launcher
mounted on the ground.

Hazardous duty wins extra pay fo1

lor survival on the front lines
have little time to complain and
they know it wouldn't do any good
anyway. However. a soldier risk
ing his life expresses his disgust
when he reads about a dock strike
back home holding up Army
equipment or labor unions dicker-
ing for more vacations and COM
pensations.

When do we go homer"

when do we go home?"
That's the question put to me
by GIs on all sides. The rotation
system that went into effect Sep
tember l has lot Of them ever
more confused than when they
left home. Although rotation is
catching up. there are plenty OF
front-line soldiers already cele-
brating their first anniversary in
Korea. Unless Gen. Ridgway
makes good on his promise to get
these boys home for Christmas
there'l be plenty of squawks.
The long, drawn-out peace talks
never inspired too much hope in
most GIs; consequently, as the UN
fails to do business with the Com
mics their morale doesn't drop
The boys are inclined to resent
the overoptimism of folks back
home. They are in a better posi-
ton to realize that the Korean
war may drag on indefinitely" "
My nom stopped writing when
she read about the peace talks.
She thought I'd be coming home!"
This I got from one GI. It's true
that when peace talks are going
on there are fewer casualties up
front. A young platoon leader
argued with me as I listened.
You can't blame guy for not
taking risks if he thinks there's
some chance the war might be
over" he said.
The Commies are just stalling
for time. in the opinion of lot
of GIs who believe they're trying
to build up their supplies while
destroying the morale of Allied
troops. Anyway. if a cease-f1re
comes off, the boys feel certain
another war would soon break out
In Iran or in French Indo-China.
The farther up front I went. the
fewer complaints I heard from the
men. Naturally there is more
time in the rear areas for grippe
sessions. It's hard for the G1s
as a whole to understand how the
rotation system works.
ST don't think the present ro-
tation system is fair 8. but what
can we do about it, anyway
asked a combat soldier who can't
understand why some guys go
home sooner than others with
more points stacked up.
Rotation Plun
Actually the 81 point rotation
plan works like this: Every man
In a combat zone is given four
points a month, and a man be-
hind the lines including corps
headquarters receives two points
per month. A point and a half
monthly goes to a single man in
Japan, and a married man serving
In Japan with a family gets one
point. In the old rotation system,
q soldier officially remained ION

months. whereas in the new plan
he's up there for nine.

as I had been drilled when first

time, he's got it figured out to
the day when he's due for rota-

the welcoming speeches delivered
by commanding officers were al
