Tess Town Solemnly Marks Anniversary of School Blast

NEW LONDON, Tex., March 18 (U. P.).—One year ago today an explosion wrecked the New London school. Two hundred and ninety-four children and teachers were killed. 5 Today, in commemoration of the disaster, the school buildings tnat escaped the blast were deserted. Instead of attending classes, the children who survived the tragedy laid wreaths on the graves of their former classmates. That was the only observance of the anniversary.’ “It was definitely realized that ad

memorial service would only make|.

it more difficult for the parents,” the Rev. R. L. Jackson, Methodist

minister who preacned the funerals of scores of the: victims, explained. “Our real memorials will be in a greater school, a finer community, more sacred homes and better churches.” > ¢ Already the greater school is developing. A new, $300,000 building is going up to replace the one destroyed. In it, the school trustees are taking no chances on ‘another -explosion. The heating plant is in a separate building. Precautions were taken to prevent the accumulation of gas that caused the disaster. Schools, theaters and other public buildings in Texas also have been resurveyed in the past year to prevent such tragedies elsewhere. New building laws have been put into effect. All gas used for commercial purposes in the State . must be mixed with malodorants so that leaks can be detected.
