conditions in that section of the town, it Is not likely that it will help mat ters out a great deal as it Is not go- ing to be a very large school and there are enough children in that part ot the town in which it is, to fill every room just as soon as the school is thrown open.
 If the citizens of Stratford. assem- b1ed in town meeting next week, vote to build another school, the question has been asked, why not vote to build new High school and use the pres ent High school building for gram mar school, instead of building an; other new grammar school in the town? If this plan is carried out, conditions in the High school which is much overcrowded at present, would be relieved, and there would be no need to build another grammar school in the town for some years to come That there will be some lively dis cussion. on the matter when it comes up in town meeting. goes without say ing.
 More DeHnquents. Four more men who were among the twenty personal tax delinquents in the town have settled up, the men in question being Homer Waterbury, James Connor, Michael Onosko, and Harry Ross.
 M B. Church Banquet.
 The Stratford M. B. church held it's annual banquet last night. Reports were given from the different depart mets of the church that showed it to be in 8 fine flourishing condition. Rev. EA. Burnes, pastor of the Wash fngton Park M. B. church was present and delivered a short address which was very much appreciated. The ban quet was largely attended
 A Country Club For Stratford. At a gathering of representative men a few nights ago a project was launched for starting a country club in Stratford. Another meeting was called to meet in the chapel of the Congregational church next Monday night at o'clck. Anyone interested is at liberty to come. A growing num- Der of people are becoming golf play CTS. And with the rush and hurry of modern life something of the kind is needed to furnish rest and recreation for overworked people.
 Too often Country clubs are clubs which only rich people can take ad- vantage of. It is planned that this one shall have moderate charges so that all who really want to join can do SO.
 Men and women may join, and whole families as well. It is probable that there will be several tennis courts
 
 is possible that in connection with the country club there may be field that will be open for the free use of the boys for playing ball, football, etc. If that is not found practicab bIe some other field will be found for them. Something of the kind Is the more needed now as the Mill Hill Golf club has had to abandon it's grounds as they have been cut up into building lots But the people from any where in the eastern part of Bridgeport can reach Stratford in very few min utes. -4-
 It is probable that the fee for chart CT members will be small, and may be the number of members will be limited
