LOUI'S Budweiser 307-1 Two Rockbridge School Buildings Are Condemned Lexington, Oct. Superintendent of schools, R.

M. Irby has recelved a report from state inspectors who recently visited Natural Bridge and Brownsburg high schools. Other buildings in the county will be inspected later. The schools visited were subject to the following criticism: Natural Bridge school "The classroom in the basement and the laboratory in the basement were very unsatisfactory and inadequate. The classroom has only about 8 per cent light, has no adequate ventilation, and is utterly unsuited for instructional purposes.

The same criticism would hold for the combined laboratory and Home Economics room. Brownsburg High school (old building) "The old building is structurally in extremely doubtful condition. It is difficult to say with any definiteness just how serious the structural hazard is. "The partitions have sagged badly, the floors are inadequately supported, causing them to shake badly when you walk over them, and the south exterior wall appears to have bulged considerably. The floors to the auditorium also have sagged badly and indicate a serious structural weakness.

Part of the foundation under the south wall has caved in. We did not crawl under the building to examine the footing and foundation, but obviously there has been serious settlement, causing a structural weakness. We recommend that the second floor of the building be not used for any auditorium purposes, and we further urgently recommend that this building be abandoned at the very earliest date possible for school purposes. "Aside from an obvious structural hazard, the building fails to meet the state law with regard to light, ceiling height and ventilation." At a meeting of the county school board on Oct. 1, the auditorium of the Brownsburg high school was condemned and the principal authorized not to use this part of the building for any purposes.

Raymond V. Long, state director of school buildings, has sent out this week a list of rules to be observed for fire prevention week. Copies of this were sent by Mr. Irby to all of the school principals with a request that they report on compliance not later than Oct. 15.

The requirements include the checking of stoves, pipes and chimneys, lining of boiler rooms, and cleaning out of waste and accumulations. MAKING GOOD IN JOURNALISM FIELD Lexington, Oct. 8. Achieving fame in journalistic circles is St. Clair McKelway of Washington, D.

The Literary Digest of last week reports the resignation of Managing Editor Walker of the magazine "The New Yorker," and the appointment of St. Clair McKelway to that position. The excerpt from the Digest says: "Into Walker's job at the New Yorker will go St. Clair McKelway (who with A. J.

Liebling did one of the most talked about "Profiles" on Father Divine this summer.) Pink-faced, brilliant McKelway was a reporter on the Herald-Tribune until he met King Prajadhipok of Siam and was hired away for three years to edit the Government Gazette at Bankok."

SEWING ROOM MOVED Moving the equipment of the Jocal sewing room from the old Baptist church to new quarters on Johnson street was completed Wednesday, and workers were busy in their new home yesterday.
