play by Prisoner
|In Virginia 10 Go on
National Radio Net
BY the Assoeiofed Press

RICHMOND, Va, Dec. 23.-"If
a man has a talent and cannot
use 1t. he has failed. -"
Those words OF Novelist Thomas
Wolfe might easily have been true
in the case of Norman Walker, an
inmate in the State Penitentiary
here. But they aren't.
For Walker, a man with a tai
ent, is not letting the walls of a
Iprison and q criminal record pre-
vent him from following higher
pursuits.
Although only 80, Walker has
had numerous scrapes with the
law. His police record dates back
to 1889 when he was sentenced for
forging q money order. He drew
his present term for grand larceny
in 1949!
Had Varied Career.
Walkers case is q paradox be-
cause his life, despite the run-ins
with the law, is dotted with sue
cess In other endeavors. He worked
with amateur theatrical groups in
Richmond and Winston Salem,
N. c.. and while in the Air Force
during World War II, helped edit
service papers in Oklahoma and
the Philippines.
And now. despite his restriction,
Walker has successfully entered q
new field.
A play written in the penitenti-
ary has been accepted by the DR..
Christian radio program and will
be broadcast nationally tomorrow
night. The play, entitled Sub
stitute for Santa" netted Walker
$3.50.
Four Manuscripts Finished.
In addition, Walker has been
working on other writings and says
he has four novels which he plans
to submit to publishers. Core
spondence with one publishing
firm has given him hope they will
be accepted.
Ordinarily. prison officials don't
permit manuscripts to be sent out
by inmates. But Supt. Frank
Smyth said an exception was
made in the case Of Walkers play
after the prison chaplain inter-
vened in his behalf.
The warden labels Walker q
model convict who is eager to
learn. Since he entered the pris-
on three years ago, Walker has
added a new talent-radio engi-
neering. He picked it up through
prison course.
This week Walker is busy help
ing to produce a Christmas play
for the prisoners.
But Walker is looking forward
to next June when the prison
doors swing wide and he walks out
free man again.
What then? Back to the old
life?
Never again, vows Walker. The
rest Of the way it'll be the higher
things" he says.

This Fall

Retention of the Fourth street
wing of the present Oakland High
school building, to be used as an Oak
land Elementary school annex, was
recently decided by the Board Of Ed
ucation. The annex would make it
possible to add four more rooms to
the elementary system which would
allow for the reduction of pupils in
any one room to 80, 81 or 80, as pro-
vided by the State school law.
R. Bowen Hardesty, county super
intendent of schools, said the board
had planned to install standard light
ing in the four rooms, renovate the
walls, lay asphalt tile in the corri-
doris and renovate the laboratories,
in preparation for next terms classes

whether these rooms would house the
lower grades or the upper grades.

Fire Department
Prepares For Change
In Reporting Fires

Oakland fire department officers
are cndcavoring to make full prepare
tions for the changcovcr to the dial
system by the telephone company, so
that fire alarms still will be given
promptly.
A. G. Gortner, president, announced
the new dial number for the fire hail
would be 2-2222, and pointed out that
this number would be used to report
fires after May "a at midnight.
Formerly the fires had been re-
ported directly to the telephone OPP
orator who was able to release the
fire siren from the telephone office.
Under the dial system, telephone Of
ficials said it would not be possible
for the company to continue in this
capacity.
The new system is so set up that
by dialing 2-2222, not only the fire
hall will be obtained but two other
phones located in two other places in
Oakland where there would be twenty
four hour service. These phones, how
ever, will not be listed, since it was
felt that persons might try to use
them to find out where the fires had
occurred.
Mr.. Gortncr said it was very I'M
portant that people acquaint them
selves with the proper way to report
fire, so that property and perhaps
lives might be saved in the future.
After dialing the number he pointed
out that the person should wait for
an answer, then tell the exact loca-
ton of the fire before hanging up.
