In addition 'te ~ keeping -the course in good shape for the aver- . are to be prepared so that schools can operate as continionsly and as efficiently as possible at all times, This involves protection and preservation of school facilities so that educational activities can be resumed in short order. Don't let trash pile up, keep waste paper in covered containers. When alert sounds, do all you can to eliminate sparks by shutting off electricity, the oil burner and covering all open flames. s Have emergency equipment and supplies handy. Always have good flashlight, first aid equipment and other necessary supplies in the school. If you have time when the‘alert sounds, close the school up tight to keep out fire sparks and radio active dusts and to lessen the chances of being cut by flying glass. Keep school closed till all danger is passed. Use telephone only for true em ergencies. Leave lines open for real -emergency traffic. The prevailing type of fire ex tinguishers is a soda-acid type. This is a conductor of electricity and should no’ be used where cur rent is operating. A dry .chemical type is much safer. Test and in spect fire hose regularly. Air Raid Alerts There are two air raid warning signals for the general public as follows: | 1. Red Alert: Attack imminent hostile air craft identified and approaching. It consists of fluctua ting or warbling signals of varying pitch by sirens, or a series of short blasts by horns or whistles and lasting three (3) minutes. 2. White Alert: All clear.

But the country club facilities are not limited to golfers alone. Those who like swimming are en tranced by the new pool com= pleted last year with its life guards and an engineer (the same specialist who handles all the other swimming pools in the eity) keeping constant watch on the water and pool operation to keep it perfectly ganitary. And then there is the fishing. Probably more and bigger fish are caught in the Country Club lake than anywhere in this vicinity. At least more are reported from that lake. ; Boating Enjoyed / And for those who do not care over-much about fishing but who ke to get out on a lake, there is boating., One can laze around in ' a boat, watch the fishing and golf ing, read & book, or just soak up ‘some sun.

Van Fleet Discloses Commies Have Built Up Force Of 900,000 Gov. Talmadge Addresses Law Students Here Addressing fellow classmates of the law class of 1938, faculty, stu dents, and other alumni of the University School of Law, Gov ernor Herman Talmadge yesterday outlined the duties of lwayers “in the preservation of American ideals and traditions” and express=- ed his pleasure at the recent achievements of the University and its outstanding law school. The Governor was in Athens for the first annual Law Day cele bration and addressed the assem bled barristers and prospective barristers at a luncheon at 12:30 Saturday. Featured on the pro gram was the annual “G” Day game which the alumni attended as guesis of the University. Governor Talmadge enumerated the ways in which lawyers and members of the law profession “can and do serve their country”. He recalled the fact that the rea son that Georgia lawyers are often addressed with the honorary title of colonel is because of the fact that lawyers in this state, dating back to Revolutionary days, were outstanding patriots and took leading roles as officers in the state militia. Mr. Talmadge, in conclusion, stated: “We in the legal profession must keep the faith and demonstrate by our works again and again the importance of protecting our ideals and traditions against the threat of communism and socialistic at tacks. We must speak out for America both at home and in the legislative halls.” The University of Georgia Law School is one of the oldest in the country having been founded in 1859 by Joseph Lumpkin, T. R. Cobb and William H. Hull, Many of the outstanding figures of the state are graduates of the school. Baker In Race For House Seas C. O, “Fat” Baker qualified as a candidate for the Legislature from Clarke County yesterday. In qualifying Mr. Baker chose to seek the seat that he had previous ly held and now held by Grady Pittard, jr. In qualifying Baker said, “I am running for the Legislature real izing that Clarke County, the home of the University of Georgia, needs a person to represent it who is qualified in law and business. “When I am elected I will fol low the same policy that I fol lowed the last time I was in the Legislature of cooperating with the governor and the administra= tion, when they are right and be ing against them when they are wrong. I will not be against prog ress in Georgia because it is spon sored by the administration or the anti-administration group. “I will not antagonize the ad ministration nor will I be a rub ber stamp for it, but will use my own judgement after listening to both sides of the question at issue, Cites Accomplishments “During my last term in the Legislature, with the cooperation of my colleague and the coopera tion of the city and county gov ernments, we accomplished more for Clarke County than has ever been accomplished befcre, “Mr, Jack Wells, when he was in the Legislature, got a commit ment from the Agriculture Depart ment to place a farmers’ market in Athens. A site was chosen and the Jaycees collected the money from the townspeople so buy the land. Then Mr. Linder would not build the market, My colleague and I along with Mr, Wells, who was then Mayor of Athens, carried a large delegation frony the House and Senate to call upon Mr. Lin der. I acted as chairman and dis cussed the matter with Mr. Linder and obtained a promise to begin construction immediately. Al though it had been hanging fire fer quite sometime, we now have the Farmers’ Market. “Since I entered the University in 1929 the road to Princeton has been in a dangerous state, es pecially the bridge over the Oconee River. With the help of the coun ty authorities we were able to persuade the Highway Depart ment to remedy this condition and the road was supposed to go through the University campus and come out on Broad Street. “Clarke County was served by three Highway Patrol Posts. Wash~ ington, Gainesville, and Madison, when I went to the Legislature. With the help and cooperation of the county authorities, my col league and I were able to persuade the governor and the Highway Pa trol Director, George Wilson, to place a station in Athens. “The University of Georgia was left about five hundred thousand dollars to build a library. This money would have been lost to the University by the terms of the will since it had not been used. Tarough the efforts of my col league and myself, we established ‘a building authority with $12.- '500,000. This money is prorated among the various branches of the ..

Van Fleet disclosed today the Chinese and Korean Reds have built up a force of about 900,000 men in Korea, but there is no indication of a spring offensive, The U. S. Eighth Army commander said in an interview the Reds had more men, weapons and planes, but that the Allies have enough to stop any attack. He said about 450~ 000 Reds are in the front lines. & US Mission Will N A' B davy, Al Dases By JOHN M. HIGHTOWER WASHINGTON, March 8— (AP)—A special United States mission with a 100 million aollar bankroll will go to Madrid in a few weeks to negotiate with Gen eralissimo Francisco Franco for naval and air bases in Spain. Officlals said today the bases are desired on a standby basis for use if and when needed. Large installations such as the United States is building in French Mo=- rocco, North Africa, are not plan=- ned. But even the limited facili ties to be negotiated with Spain will require extensive highway and rail development and prob=- ably considerable harbor dredging. " Indications are that whether the United States provides arms for Franco’s military force probably will depend on what the Spanish leader insists on, from his side of the bargaining table, But Amer~ ican experts say that available American funds could most prof itably be spent to meet more basic Spanish needs, such as roads. Certainly it appears that the United States will urge that arms deliveries should not get first priority. Conferences on the United States” negotiating position have been going on for weeks among the State and Defense Depart ments and the Mutual Security (Foreign Aid) Administration. These three agencies are trying to determine precisely what the United States will want and what it will propose that Franco get, andd obtain approval of the agreed position from President Truman. What the President approves will provide the instructions for the mission to be assigned. Officials said the group will be headed by a military man but will include State Department repre sentatives and other civilian of ficials, Negotiation of a two-way mili tary alliance with Franco was described as out of the question; what is planned arther is a prac tical, working agreement between Spain and the United States cov=- ering their extension of aid to each other. : Mr, Truman told Congress yes terday that the program for Spain ds being worked out “for use in forthcoming negotiations with the Spanish government.” Firpo Price | Fitzhugh (Firpo) Price yester=- day qualified with the Clarke County Democratic Executive Committee as a candidate for Sheriff jn the County Democratic Primary to be held on March 26. Mr. Price is a native of Athens and most of his life has been spent here. He is the son of the late E. S. Price, who served as City Re~ corder for a number of years, and Mrs, Price. Mr. Price is unmarried and he and his mother reside at 575 Har ris Street. He attended Athens High School and Carlisle Military Academy. He is a member of First Methodist Church. For five years Mr. Price served as Chief of Police at the Milledge~ ville State Hospital and later was with the State Department of Pub lic Safety in Atlanta, Mr. Price said that he was the first "Chief of Police at the Milledgeville Hos pital who caught, convicted and sent an attendant to the chain gang for fatally beating an immate. He said two former attendants are to day serving life terms. In qualifying as a candidate for Sheriff, Mr. Price said: “TI want it known and it can go in the record that my people and myself were all Sheriff Jackson folks. He was my friend and my dad’s friend before me and we didn’t like it when the voters in this county, by about 300 or 400 voters, fired one of the “greatest sheriffs in Georgia, a man wao gave his life in service o the peo ple of Clarke County. It must be a source of great satisfaction to old Sheriff Jackson for him to know that when he left the sher iff’s office the powers that be saw fit, for some reason, to put on, or found it necessary to put on, eight county police and six State Troop ers to fill his place. They didn't put them on as long as Sheriff Jackson was sheriff, They didn't need them then, or if' not why?” | Van Fleet added that*he would be “surprised” if the Communists attempted an offensive similar to their costly but unsuccessful ma jor drives in April and May of last year. “I am confident we could stop any attack the Communists might throw at us, he said. “It would be a good thing if we could get those people out of their foxholes and dugouts to mow them down the way we did last April and May. “We still have an intense de=- sire to do it. We have enough equipment, men and ammunition available. We could do it just as effectively as we did last year.” Difficult Task It has been a difficult task for this general of action to become accustomed to the change of -pace the Korean conflict took last No vember when action across the front slowed to a snail’s pace. 1f Van Fleet had the decislon to make, it seems certain he would have preferred to continue offen sive maneuvers such as “Opera tion Rollup” and “Operation Kill er’—tactics that cost the Com-- munists heavily in mem and equipment. But with the armistice talks political considerations veighe!i heavily as Allied military opera tions. “It was thought we could ar range an armistice If we slowed down in accordance with the wishes of the people baek home who did not want heavy easual ties when there was a :gmce for peace, he said. “The future operations of the Eighth Army are still on the con ference table at Panmunjom.” Van Fleet said the Chinese and North Koreans have twice as many artillery pieces as the Unit {Continued On Page Twe) {Cell'st Kratina | Concert Series | J | Rudolpn Kratina, ‘cellist, will be featured soloist iln the second of the University’s current series ~of concerts which will be heard & the University Chapel this afters - noon at 4 o’clock.
