B. Plum of Troy Knockad Un- conscious at Norfolk by Golf Ball Driven Wild. By the Assoclated Press. NORFOLK, Va., November 3.— Members of the American Newspaper Publishers’ Association this afternoon ended their three-day Fall convention at Virginia Beach, and a large num- ber of them got ready to go duck shooting. | Some of the publishers postponed their homeward journey to take fuller advantage of the golfing facilities of- fered at the Princess Anne Country Club. The first accident of the session occurred late yesterday when D. B. Plum, publisher of the Troy (N. Y. Times, was knocked unconscious by a wild golf ball. Investigation failed to disclose the driver of the ball. He was given first aid treatment and was re- vived quickly. The sessions yesterday were taken up in more “shop talk” and a discus- sion of the mechanical aspects of the publishing business. James Hogan of the Cleveland Press spoke on compos- ing room management, and A. H. Burns, mechanical superintendent of the New York Herald-Tribune, spoke along purely mechanical lines. A movement has been-placed on foot to have the Fall meeting, which principally is devoted to entertain- ment and play, held here each year. —_— VOLUNTEERS RAPIDLY ERECTING FIRE HOUSE East Riverdale Building of Con- crete Blocks to Be Protection of Four Communities.
