C. Thompson, in a statement yesterday, advised abandoning the building now occupied by the Athens High School “as soon as possible.” The Fire Chief said the building is inspected regularly by the Fire Department and the Board of Education has cooperated with the Department in correcting its defects. “But it is obvioyxs that such a structure cannot be made fire~proof.” The Fire Chief said he does not wish to alarm parents of chil dren who attend the High School in its present building, “but it would be foolhardy to continue using it as a school beyond the next two or three yeurs, perhaps less, with the enrollmenr steadily increasing.” i Fire Chief’s Statement : Chief Thompson’s statement follows: A “Without desiring ‘o alarm the parents of children attending the building now occupied by the Athens High School, it is my studied opinion that, as soon as possible, this building should be abandoned for school purposes. % “It is true that at the present time the building is being emptied in two minutes in the practice fire drills, But it is also ‘true that the building is not so constructed that, in the event of fire, it could be emptied as quickly as would be possible if the same amount of floor space was inside of a structure built especially for school purposes. : “No building shoulc be occupied by children unless it is_of fire-proof construction. Such is not the case in the present High School building. It was not built for a school, to house several hundred children. The condition of the bulding, of course, does not warrant its condemnation for public purposes at the presen§ time. But it would be foolhardy to continue using it as a s_chom for an indefinite period with the enrollment steadily increasing. “The Fire Department makes regular inspections of the H{gh School buildirg and the Board of Education has cooperated. with us in correcting its_defects. But it is obvious that such a structure ‘cannot be made fire-proof.” : SANFORD MEMORIAL IS UNVEILED BEFORE CROWD OF DIGNITARIES Georgia’s dignitaries, including Governor Ellis Arnall and thous ands attending < the Homecoming Louisiana State-Georgia football game, stood-in reverence yesterday as a memorial to the late S.
