Nichols rection of fire chief Gary Tem pleton and assistant chief T. Lloyd Watkins, quickly extin guished a blaze in the office of John Kennedy Scrap Iron and Metal Co. shortly after 7 a.m. Wednesday. The fire apparently was start ed by bad wiring.

The fun eral services were for Mrs. Breathitt’s husband. The Chronicle regrets this in- advertant error and is happy to make this correction.^ College To Reduce Number of Athletic Grants In Future Presbyterian College trustees Tuesday authorized a realign ment of the college’s athletic pol icy to reduce athletic grant-in- aid by one-third over the next three years. The governing body headed by chairman Robert M. Vance of Clinton, gave unanimous ap proval to a report of the P. C. athletic council designed to re strict the total number of such grants to 35 by the 1965-’66 school year. They would include a max imum of 25 full grants for foot ball. eight for basketball and two for tennis. .The present total for all sports is 52. President Marshall W. Brown, in announcing the decision made at Tuesday’s annual meeting of the board, said the trustees fur ther stipulated that the cotinu- ance of athletic grants at the re- adjused level depends upon alum ni and friends providing a min imum of $30,000 annually to help support the program. He pointed out that financial reasons were instrumental in the trustee action and the realign- met in football grants would be accomplished in these states: 32 limit next year, 28 in 1964-’65 and 25 in 1965-’66. Basketball grants ! will not be adversely effected by the reduction since the Blue Hose cagers currently are within the maximum of eight. The present tennis commit ment is only 1% grants over its two limit. Aid specifically for baseball and track now amount ing to less than one full grant will be eliminated. Dr. Brown said that the plan for gradual reduction will enable Presbyterian College to fulfill all present commitments. It also will permit the football and bas ketball programs, where turnover is heaviest, to provide a few new grants for the coming year and taper off toward balanced allot ments within the maximum limi tations. Tennis recruiting of last year and this spring already has assured this program of grants beyond the two limit for the next three years. Although the new plan will place Presbyterian College in line with the grants-in-aid re strictions of the Carolinas Con ference, the college will not seek membership in this small-college athletic organization inthe near future. P. C. has not tfEuTan of ficial conference affiliation since the Southern Intercollegiate Ath letic Association folded two year ago but has regulated its sports program by adopting rules sim ilar to those of the Carolinas Conference. ' The decision represents an im portant development by the P. C. trustees, who have had the en tire athletic program under study for the past four years. They in stituted a matching gifts project three years ago, seeking $31,000 in gifts to underwrite one-half of the cost of athletic grants. During this period, contribu tions to the Walter Johnson Club, the alumni athletic organization, followed this, pattern: 1900—$20,- 339.42; 1961—$26,193.10; and 1962 -$25,338.76. The report introduced by trus tee George Cornelson of Clinton, stipulated that “We attempt to implement a program within the financial resources of the col lege." It spelled out the steps of the realignment for grants to inter-*' collegiate sports and reemphasiz ed the importance of a full pro gram of intramural sports. The report also bestowed “the responsibilities appropriate to the MR. AND MRS.
