THOMPSON in oUANDARY.
TownspeopIe in Doubt Whether New
High School is to Be Endowed. IL
Not, by Increase in Tax-Rate.

There seems to be peculiar lack
of information up in the town of
Thompson relative 10 the conditions
that surround the proposed acceptance
Of the Tourtelotee Memorial High
school by the town. The question that
the voters is whether the Tourtellottes
donors of the building, are to endow
it or whether its acceptance is going
to place heavy obligation of main
tenance uuon the citizens Of this town
without a debt.
One citizen of Thompson on pre-
senting the facts he possesses in the
case states that without any endow
ment that the difference Of cost in
maintaining the present system of nigh
school training and that of supporting
a high school in town. will be the diff
ference between the $l.320.50 now re-
ceived from the state, and which VIII
be lost if the school is accepted UNI
der the non- endowment plan. and the
$4,000 that it is estimated will be the
yearly cost of maintaining the school
by the town.
The acceptance of the school will
mean an increase of about % per cent
i'm the present tax rate of the town. II
is understood that special town
meeting is to be called to pass upon
the matter Of accepting the building.
sources of information IL has been
learned that the people Of Thompson
were under the impression that the
beautiful building would be turned
over to the town when it was COM
pleted with a sufficient endowment to
maintain * without expense TO the
taxpayers. Now that there Is uncer-
tainty of an endowment fund at least
during the life of the donors, there is
some hesitation about accepting it
among the citizens.
With this sentiment prevalent, the
school board has made contracts with
principal and teachers conditionally
dependent on the action of the voters
in accepting or rejecting the school.
The probable outcome of the matter
is that the school will be accepted.
though there has been and will be
much discussion Of the subject. The
chances are that If the school is not
endowed at once it will be in very
few years and he opportunity that
Thompson has to secure such an ex
cellent school is too good to be wasted

NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DROWNING.
Otis Warren, II, Pulled Out of Quine-
baus by Edmond Charbonneau.

Otis Warren, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Willis A. Warren of the West Side,
narrowly escaped drowning in the
Quinebaug river just above the Quine-
baug bridge, Thursday morning. Otis,
who is about eleven years of age, was
fishing with his brother Clarence as a
companion, from a canoe run in the
rear of the houses on the river bank.
Otis dropped his fish pole in the river
and in trying to recover it he stepped
on the wooden roller at the end of
the canoe run. The roller spun around
causing the boy to lose his balance
and to fall into the water. Clarence
gave frightened cry for help and
succeeded in attracting the attention
of Edmond Charbonneau, who lives in
one of the houses very close 20 the
scene of the incident When Charbon-
neau arrived, the drowning boy had
disappeared below the surface of the
water. Charbonneau Immediately.
plunged in and was able to get the boy
on the first dive and eventually pull
him out of the river up on the bank.
A few minutes of vigorous work were
necessary OF clear the accumulated
river water from the boys system but
after this had been accomplished he
was apparently none the worse for his
experience. His escape, however. was
