Trenton, Ga, Phene 22 THE DADfc COUNTY TIMES, TRENTON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MARCH 15, 1951 A well organized plan for emptying the building in case of fire was explained. This plan was set up with the assistance of the State Fire Inspector and has been carried out at several fire drills. Ch’-ldren as used as inspectors and appointed to look after certain rooms, seeing that all windows are closed and every child is out of his room. With the help of the children and teachers the buila’ing can be emptied in 35 seconds. In nine minutes the water pressure in Rising Fawn can be cut off, giving a 70 pound pressure at the school. The Rising Fawn School patrons and the people of the community are very much 'indebted to Mr. Mickler and those who assisted him in their untiring efforts to secure the materials and installing this equipment. This is only one of the many improvements that has been made in our school during the two years that Mr. Mickler has served us as prin¬ cipal and the parents of the school appreciate the interest that he has taken in the build¬ ing and the children. The fire inspector informed Mr. Mickler that the Rising Fawn school was the only school in the Eth district that had in¬ cluded the use of standpipes in their fire protection program. The Parents Club has assumed the responsibility of paying for the fire protection equipment and ways and means of raising money were discussed. It was decided that the ways and means committee, with Mrs. Lu¬ ther Allison as chairman, would meet and determine the type of entertainment to have, using lo¬ cal talent. This program will be presented at a very early date. March brought the attendance contest to a close, with the men losing to the ladies. Suggestions as to how this would be done were offered by the ladies pres¬ ent, but delinitely refused by the men. They stated they would have a meeting of men only and decided just how the entertaining would be done. The members of the Parents Club extend an invitation to anyone who wishes to visit with us. Our regular meeting Is held on the second Thursday night of each month, at 7:30, at the school building.

For broilers, provide fourths square foot per chick for chicks started in March. summer brooding, one square foot is recommended.
