PAGE SIX [—section one Fire Marshal’s Report On School ) Some interest has been express ed relative to recent inspection made of the Edenton Elementary School building. Due to this in terest The Herald this week pub lishes the full report made by Kern E. Church, engineer and deputy State Fire Marshal. Mi. Church’s report in full follows: 1. The building is of ordinary construction, i.e., exterior walls of masonary and interior of wood joist construction and is two stories in height with basement. There is an auditorium at the rear of the two story classroom wing; 2. There is a masonry enclosed wooden stairway at each end of the building extending from the top floor to the ground with an open air vestibule at the entrance to each stairway at tne basement level and first floor level. The stairways are constructed of wood and the arrangement and conl struction of the open air entrance vestibules at each floor do not meet present day Building Code J standards for fire towers. How ever, these stairways probably met the standards at the time this building was built; 3. There are nine classrooms on the second floor of this building and the exit width of the present stairways was probably sufficient | when the occupancy of the class-' rooms was twenty-five or less, | but with presently overloaded classrooms the exit width for these stairways on the second floor does not meet present day' standards. In my opinion, the Edenton Ele- j mentary School Building is not in l such dangerous condition as to j warrant condemnation procedure i under the provisions of Section I 160-151 and 160-152 of the General Statutes of North Carolina. How ever, in my opinion, the following > changes and additions must be! made to provide a minimum of safety to occupants-<of this build ing: j 1. Remove the row of seats at ] the rear of the center section of ! seats in the auditorium area. The doors leading to the outside at the stage end of the auditorium ! must be put in operating condi- j ticn with, aisles leadrng thereto | kept free of all encumbrances at, all times. We would recommend that panic hardware be installed , on all exit doors leading from the auditorium area. The top floor should be restricted to not more than 280 occupants. In my opin ion, the present arrangement with the larger children on the upper floors provides more safety in this building; j 2. The exit doors from the j cafeteria must be hung so as to open out; j 3. The electrical wiring in the building should be checked by a local Electrical Inspector and brought up to the minimum standards of the National Elec trical Code to the satisfaction of •the local Electrical Inspector. In addition to the above items, th ; s Department would recom mend that the following changes and additions be made to this building and similar buildings lo- , cated throughout North Carolina the next time s ueh items are re-1 Re-Elect J.

This could be accomplished by the use of 5/8” gypsum board or % ” ver miculite or perlite plaster, or the equivalent. The acoustical tile does not give any fire resistance rating; 2. The wooden steps should be replaced with steel or concrete steps and the stairways brought up to the minimum requirements of Section 605 of the North Caro lina Building Code when such stairways are replaced instead of replacing them with wood. 3. All inaccessible areas such as •attics, boiler rooms, kitchen-cafe teria, storage areas, etc., should be protected with automatic fire detection systems bearing the ap proval of the Underwriters Lab oratories. ,Over 150 Attend Annual Banquet Continued irom Page I—Section 1 children from getting into other activities not altogether whole some.” He said mus : c is good for the soul but that there’s a lot of I “junk” broadcast over radio and ! television. “Music is the finest of I the arts,” he said, “and through music we meet and hear people t who will broaden the horizon. Music is one of the finer things ■ of life.” | Dr. Cuthbert dwelt at some ! length, on the music camp held l annually at Greenville, pointing j out its rapid growth and the I wholesome advantages it provides I for young people. He brought hi? position of the program to a ' close by demonstrations on play : ing the trumpet. At the conclusion of Dr. Cuth bert’s remarks Miss Lena Leary presented a gift to Miss Williams, i expressing the deep appreciation | and affection of the Band Parents ! Association for her efforts and re gret that she will leave Edenton. Percy Mclver also presented Miss [ Williams with a suitcase filled I with women’s accessories as a small token of appreciation of the senior members of the band.
