1 was 3,166 for the year ending May 31. Director of Adult Education Carl H. Medlin Jr. said he was looking forward to "improvement and expansion of the program to meet the needs of Florence County residents" during the forthcoming session. The 1969-70 program will represent greater involvement by community agencies, he stated.

Medlin said that a "new learning lab approved by the division of adult education will meet educational needs of adults ranging from third grade through high school." Greater numbers are also expected to participate. The "lab" program is a highly individualized one in order to enable each student to work at his own level and progress at his own rate. Emphasis will be placed on English, math, social studies and reading. The T-Square basic education course for ac adults drew the biggest registration, 588. The evening basic adult course drew 301.

Ohers with high attendance were "slimnastics for women," 150; "personal sewing," 198; "production agriculture," 396; and "ceramics," 125. Majority Of Newark Firemen Out NEWARK, N.

Newark Fire Director John P.

Caufield said, "The situation is deteriorating. There is a definite emergency in the City of Newark." Caufield said that, in addition to the failure of 85 per cent of the 200-man night shift to report, "more than 30 men have walked off" the day shift in defiance of orders to stay until relieved. He issued a total recall of the force and placed men from salvage units, rescue and arson squads in fire houses to meet any emergencies. He said he had alerted fire departments in neighboring communities but had called none into Newark. The fire director said "any man who walked off the job or refused to come onto the job will be suspended." Earlier Friday, a Superior Court judge had issued a temporary injunction against any fire department job action.

Last November, police and firemen joined in a one-day "sick call" strike over pay increases, but that action ended when a court injunction was issued. 4 Return From Key Club Meet Four officers of the Florence Key Club have returned from the International Key Club convention in Miami, Fla.

Rogers, responding to a speech by Soviet Foreign Minister Andrei Gromyko, politely prodded Russia Friday for an agreement on starting talks for curbing nuclear missiles. In a statement Rogers said that a speech delivered to the Supreme Soviet (parliament) in Moscow Thursday "seems to be positive in tone regarding relations with the United The speech is being fully analyzed, Rogers continued, adding: "He referred specifically to the willingness of the Soviet Union to enter into talks on strategic arms limitations. As you know we believe that this would be a significant step forward in our relations with the Soviet Union and we are awaiting their response to our proposals for a time and place for such meetings." State Department press officer Robert J.

McCloskey said that so far there has been no discussion between Moscow and Washington on the time and place for starting talks. Rogers several weeks suggested the talks could begin between July 31 and Aug. 15. President Nixon said they might be held in Vienna or Geneva or some other place. McCloskey said the U.S.

is "open minded" on the site -a comment prompted by reports that Helsinki, Finland, was under consideration. The Soviet Union had previously expressed readiness to discuss nuclear arms limitation and reportedly pressed the Nixon administration in its first month in office to begin discussions promptly. Nixon delayed response pending a policy 1 review and consultation with U.S. Groundbreaking Slated Sunday For New Church Groundbreaking ceremonies will be held at 1 p.m. Sunday for a new Southern Methodist Church in Florence.

Officials said that Gromyko's confirmation of interest in the arms talks was encouragingis but Rogers made clear by his emphasis that the Nixon administration would like the Soviet Union to go beyond speech making and come to terms on time and place for discussions. State Department officials said the U.S.

government is carefully studying Gromyko's remarks about summitry (he held the door open for an eventual U.S.-Soviet summit) and his suggestion that some kind of East-West meetings on Berlin would be useful in avoiding future trouble over that divided German city. U.S. officials carefully avoided any show of interest in Gromyko's talk about a clear free zone in the Mediterranean. The United States has been cool to such suggestions in the past. "We shall continue," Rogers said, "to examine other aspects of the speech to see, in consultation with our allies, whether any of them may offer themselves as vehicles for early resolution of outstanding problems between us." The Gromyko speech encouraged the Nixon administration officials who hope for an era of improving East-West relations.
