TWO- -Section A ASHEVILLE CITIZEN- ASHEVILLE. N. SUNDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 1936 FIRE DESTROYS NEGRO SCHOOL Ridgeview Building Is Expected To Be Replaced HICKORY, Sept. 5. (Special) though fire of undetermined origin virtually destroyed the Ridgeview negro high school building shortly after midnight this morning, Dr.

R. W. Carver, city school superintendent, declared today adequate quarters will be provided immediately for 400 students so classes may start on the regular school opening date, September 16. "Either we will run 'two shifts' in the new East Hickory colored school building, or we will rent another building to use for the Ridgeview students for the present," Dr. CarVer stated.

For three hours, after an alarm WAS turned in from fire alarm box No. 533, Hickory firemen fought the flames, which were already raging through the second floor and had broken through the roof when they reached the scene. The he Ridgeview school was considered to be in very good condition. The first part of the building was constructed in 1916, and an addition built in 1924. The school had well -equipped cooking, sewing, and science departments; an unusually fine library, and a good lunch room, in addition to nine class rooms, lavatortes, and offices.

The East Hickory colored school, that burned during the Christmas holidays last year, has been rebuilt and is ready use this fall, Dr. Carver said, Rites Are Conducted For Thomas Clampitt BRYSON CITY, Sept. 5. (Special) Funeral services for Thomas Clampitt. 52.

Goodwin, the Cape Berton airman who surveyed the wreck, expressed bellet it would be extremely difficult to carry out the machine through the bog and underbrush. Talks To Husband In London Mrs.

Markham, after having her head wounds dressed by Dr. Freeman O'Neill of Loutsburg, talked with her husband and Jim Mollison, famous British aviator, in London. On her arm, still ticking merrily, was the wrist-watch Mollison gave her just before she hopped. Advised by Dr. O'Nelll to rest before continuing her journey, she had decided to remain here for the night.

Her New York manager, Harry Bruno, phoned her stating that a plane Was being sent to Cape Breton to take her on to the metropolis tonight, but Mrs. Markham decided to obey the Louisburg doctor's advice. Her predecessor, James A. Mollison. also fell short of his goal when he was forced down at Pennfield Ridge, N.

on Aug. 19, 1932, his gasoline tanks almost empty. Mollison was one of the last persong to wish her Godspeed when the British society matron gunned her fleet little monoplane at Abingdon airfield yesterday afternoon and started on her great adventure. She hopped from Abingdon at 12:50 p. EST) Friday and her forced landing was timed at 1:20 p.

today. Throughout the night she bored through westerly winds which cut her average speed down about 100 miles an hour over the 1,800 mile stretch of ocean. Her stock model plane, designed for 8 cruising speed of 150 miles an hour, was lost to the world from the time It was unofficially reported over Castletown Berehaven, Irish Free State, four hours after the takeoff, until it was sighted by A steamship 300. miles off Newfoundland early this morning. Then followed several hours of allence, broken suddenly by the telephone from Louisburg.

Encountered Heavy Weather News that she had cleared the ocean that had seemed "too vast" on her map, as sho expressed it before taking off, was greeted joyfully in England. "The blue seems so vast between the friendly pieces of land," she had said. Weather conditions off the Newfoundland coast early today were such that the New York weather bureau commented: "If Mrs. Markham has got through such weather, it is almost incredible." Even after first reports indicated she had sighted land from her little monoplane, there WAS grave doubt that her gasoline supply would carry her more than 1,300 miles farther to her goal, New York. Like most of the earlier transatlantic fliers, Mrs.

Markham carried no radio. Holding A true course along the Great Circle route, far to north of regular steamship travel, the aviatrix drove straight to the south shore of Newfoundland. Villagers reported seeing her turquoise-blue plane circling wide over Renews at 8:35 A. (Eastern Standard time) 19 hours and 45 minutes after her takeoff. After apparently checking her maps and re-charting her course over her firat landfall, she straightened out and flew in a direct line toward Cape Race.

Ten minutes later she was reported over place, with 1,200 airline miles still between her and New York and a dwindling gasoline supplied Adventurous Life The flight from Abingdon airport, near London, to Floyd Bennett field, New called for A total journey of 3,450 miles, She had hoped to set her plane down at journey's end within 24 hours of the time she took off. Mrs. Markham, whose adventures have carried her to many countries, including Africa for big game hunting, had waited nearly a week for favorable weather reports. She was noticeably nervous just before the takeoff yesterday, striding up and down beside her plane and smoking many cigarettes. Harry Richman and Dick Merrill.

Thirty -mile headwinds met her almost at the outset, and she was bucking stubborn winds even before she left the Irish mainland and pointed out over the challenging Atlantic. "The Messenger" carried what seemed like a pitifully scant gasoline supply-260 Imperial gallons. Her plane, however, is much smaller than those usually used in transatlantic attempts, and the fuel supply was considered adequate.

tirely on her own skill as a navigator. The monoplane was powered by a single motored engine. The cruising range of the ship was 4,000 miles adequate for her flight provided she did not lose too much time getting off her course or bucking unfavorable weather. Mrs. Markham launched her flight with the knowledge that no woman ever had succeeded in an east west flight of the Atlantic to New York, although Amy Mollison, flying with her husband, James, on his second flight got AS far as Connecticut in 1933.

Amelia Earhart Putnam, the Amer1can flier, crossed from west to east alone. Several women have taken part in attempted transatlantic flight, all of which failed to reach their objective. Mrs. Markham has been flying five years. Once she flew from Africa to England and WAS forced down in the jungle.

"The Messenger" same plane Mrs. Markham flew when she crashed in Germany In 1932 while touring Europe by air. She had a narrow e5- cape from death then, even 88 she had today. Her only food when she started her flight yesterday Was A package of fruits and nuts, and a jug of coffee. "I believe in the future of transatlantic flying, and I want to be in it at the beginning," WAS the explanation before she started the flight.

"It is A difficult flight, I know." The flight was made possible by a Kenya syndicate. "They are backing me right through," she said. The flier's -old son, Gervis, waiting excitedly behind at their home in Hurst Green, England, clapped his hands and danced when told tonight his mother had succeeded in crossing the Atlantic by air. Mrs. Markham's husband said he was "tremendously proud of my wife.

I admire her pluck. I wouldn't have done it for a million pounds -I would have been in a dead funk." Loulsburg, Nove Scotia, near which Mrs. Beryl Markham, tranatlantic aviatrix was forced down today, 18 one of the most historic spots on the North American continent. The French, early in their colonization of Canada, erected an almost impregnable fortress there which became in later years the object of long sieges by British and American Colonial troops.

Amelia Earhart, first woman pilot to conquer the Atlantic, said today of Mrs. Beryl Markham's flight from England "I am delighted that Another woman pilot has done a solo across the ocean." Asked if she might try an eastwest crossing of the Atlantic, the tousel-hatred flier laughed and said: "I don't know--you know. I've seen that ocean twice, and it doesn't get any prettier."

PERSONS DIE IN PLANE CRASH (Continued From Page One) Two miles from the field one or more of the motors failed and the crash followed. Mrs. Harry Bruce and her husband, farmers of the vicinity, apparently were the first to reach the scene. Pushing through heavy undergrowth in Buttermilk Hollow they came upon the scene to find Miss McDonald wandering dazedly about, hysterical. Mrs.

Bruce said she and her husband saw at least four bodies in the wreckage. Airport attaches said this indicated most or all of the passengers may have survived the crash itself only to die in the flames that followed. The only way would-be rescuers could reach the scene itself was by walking A slender pipe line and scrambling the rest of the way through the thicket. Ambulances and police could not get within many yards of the crash, Roads were blocked by the rush of traffic from the fair and from parks and night clubs in the vicinity. Mrs.
