Mr. Boney gives statistics show ing that the state has made fine progress in cutting down the fire loss. The loss last year was a million and a half dollars less than the average for the last seven years r but, even so, it was $5,000,000, so evidently there is much room for improvement. Worse, of course, was the loss of life. Two hundred and seventy one persons perished in fires in North ; Carolina last year. "In his proclamation designat ing October 6 to 12 as Fire Pre vention Week, Governor Gard ner urges that fire drills be held in the schools, factories and stores, and that an inspection be made of schools, theatres. churches, hotels, and" other nublic and semi-nnbliV. build ings. I have been talking to the chief of the -fire- department, arid we are preparing to make certain1 'suggestions as ; to - how citizens can? help" the cause of fira protection." r (A 5 ; q u naer xne laws 01 is ortn uaro lina "every public school ; in this state shall conduct at least one - fife drill every month during the regular school session, such fire drills to include all children and teachers arid the use of all ways of ; egress." ; Superintendent Hoyle will see that this law is carried out in the - Ghapel Hill and Carrboro school buildings. Another provision of the law is that the state insurance de partment shall issue a pamphlet giving directions for fire drills in the schools, and such a pam phlet . has been prepared by Sherwood Brockwell, deputy fire marshal, and is procurable by all school officials. The ;-: point particularly emphasized by Mr. Brockwell relates to the use of exits. "Proper drills," he says, 'insure orderly exit- under con trol and prevent the panic which has been responsible 'r for the greater ' part of -: the - loss of life in the major fire disasters of history.::.::;::. ::cr:i:z,:ii J; ,. -ji "Fire being invariably unexpected,- drills should be - so : ar ranged that they will ; insure orderly exit1 under the unusual conditions obtaining in case' of fire. These should be conducted at unexpected times 'arid never at times when the children are accustomed tq leave tfie. budding. A enod riraptifp ia r riUa while the children are changing classrooms or coming in' 'from , recess periods. "It is better f irst to .train the children to use the. regular ways of egress arid ' all of : the ' exits, but,j to insure effective drills in case of fire, as soon as they have become. proficient in the use 01 an exits ana accustomed to fire exit drills, assume that one exit is blocked and use the others, changing the blocked , exit from time to time." The series of alumni dinners which university of North Caro lina alumni are in the habit of conducting: : on the university's birthday; October 12 will be held this year on the evening of . Oc tober 11, according to the an nouncement made here yester day by Mr. J. MarybriSaun ders, executive secretary of the university.. Alumni Association. The shift of theciate' fro'rii the 12th to the 11th has been occa sioned by the fact that it has been found that Saturday is not an effectiveday to hold; alumni meetings. i --.j ; :T Too, this year there will be no celebration in Chapel Hill on the 12th. The - celebration i -which had been planned for that day has been postponed I until the 19th, .when the university's new $625,0Q0 library will be dedi cated in the presence of the sec ond annual meeting of the southern educational conference, and when there will be a general alumni homecoming for.: the dedication ceremonies and for the University of Georgia foot ball game which will be that, af ternoon in the Kenan stadium. This year, the theme of prin cipal interest at the local alum ni dinners will be the Alumni Loyalty Fund and . its work of building systematic, private in come for the, university.

Over 100 candidates for the Vir ginia first year football team are drilling out on Lefevre field in preparation for the five games scheduled for them. , Their sea son will open with a trip to Lex ington to play Virginia Military institute October 18. Joe McConnell, former star center at Davidson college and later coach at Woodberry Forest school, is head coach of first year football. He has two assistants, Kenneth Abell, former Colgate back and later coach at Fish- bUrrie Military school and at St. Johns in Wisconsin, and R. L. Lincoln, one of the best ends ever ; produced at Davidson. Abell is a brother of Earl Abell, varsity head coach.' These three tutors divide the large freshman squad between themi Mcfconnell taking the cen ters,' guards ' and . tackles, Abell the backs and Lincoln the ends. So far most of the drill has been in fundarrieritals with but little attention to team play. The first year squad seems to be iri trie ' same fix as the var sity. There is an abundance of fine v backfield . material but heavy linemen are scarce. There will f (be j ust about enough big men s who l combine speed and weight to ( fill : out a ; crack first team with little line material left over for reserves. But there rinay be two or three :backfields of almost equal; ability. ' The first year schedule in-cludes-five contests. It follows : ; October 18, Virginia Military institute in Lexington. - ij October 26, Maryland in Col lege Park. : A November 1, Washington and Lee on Lambeth field. November 8, Virginia Poly technic institute- on Lambeth field, " November 23, North Carolina on Lambeth field. . ' Greensboro, Oct. 4. (Special). N: C.

Virginia is relying upon the ser vices of a fistf ull of big tackles this fall. Coach Earl Abell Has j been workingwith three huskies who ' weigh s more . than . 200 pounds" and' he has iri xeserve twa others who scale above .190. f Hunter Motley; , who , weighs5 210, "arid Dick Day, vwhb: tips the Wniaid5; both woii ttWJ fast ffaii.Y;; Larry f Whaleri, 225 pound lad from Boston, who is the fastest of the trioj has been alternatingwith them in the tackle positions ;-; :- $ 1 0 H fCoach Abell started Day and Whalen against Randolph-Macoh and held-Motley in' reserved But Motley will probably be in the opening lineup against T ? South Carolina i in : Columbia on Satur day and against Swarthmore when the Cavaliers return to Lambeth field on October 12. Motley is a heavyweight boxer of great skill. Johnny La Rowe, coach of the leatherpush ers, has taught the big fellow how to use his hands and how to shift his weight so as to put all his force behind a charge, a body block or a tackle. Last season Whalen started practice with the varsity but was injured . before the first game and was unable to play. Earle Neale who was head coach last season, rated Whalen as one of the best tackles he had ever seen before the big fellow was laid up. . .-.7 n - : . ' r , . ; Coach Abell plans to alternate these three .- big boys in action. If he needs reserve strength he can call on the two men who were freshman tackles last fall, Gordon Fuller, 195 .pounds,, and Bill, Williams, 19lpounds. These men lack experience in line play, but both show great promise. - Loud Speaker Overrides Din in Filming "Noah's Ark The loud speaker has found a new use on the motion picture lot. Director Michael Curtiz used it not only to direct scenes in "Noah's . ArkL the Warner Bros, vitaphone super-special, but also utilized it'to broadcast music for the marching thous ands participating in the festi val procession. ; .: . ' ' Even a brass; band, would not suffice to drown out unrelated sounds -when the great pageant wended its , way majestically through the fopourt of the Biblical temple .of tlie produc tiori." Clashing: cynihals of the dancing girls, the beat of huge ilrunis mounfed; on the backs 0f camel's and elephants, the blare of trumpets arid other " sounds defied dominance by any con veyor of sourid other than the loud speaker. 1 Hence, in filming "Noah's Ark," a buzzer system to musi cians in an adjoining stage, sig naled when to strike up, and cease the martial iriusic.
