 Pomfret Pupils Coming to High School
 There seems to be general satisfac- tion over the adjustment of what ap- peared to be a difference of opinion in Pomfret over a proposal to discard the plan of sending high school stu dents Afrom that town to Putnam High school in favor of a plan of sending them to the Tourtellotte Me morial High school at North GrosVen- ordale. The school board of Pcmfret decided to mako the change after the Putnam town school committee an nounced an advance in the tuition fee from $50 to $65 for out of town pupils The rate at the TourtelIotte High school is $40 year, and this was a consideration with the Pomfret towrl school committee, which was honest ly seeking to conserve the towns funds.
 Parents of the students in Pomfret who are to take the high school course objected strenuously, however. to the longer trip to North Grosvenor- dale and the school committee has ac- ceded to the representations and will Putnam, it was stated here Monday.
 Need of Signs.
 The need of signs directing touring through the center of Putnam onto. state highways leading to various cities has never been more | manifest than during Sunday and 
 Captain Ryan said Monday after ] noon that he had directed scores of parties on to the routes for Norwich, Worcester and l Providence. Strangers all, these tour l ists found it difficult. especially at l Putnam Center, in finding their way | on to the routes theE wanted to take. l
 The suggestion was heard that ar | row signs placed on poles at this cen- l tral point and bearing the name of l the city toward which each arrow i would point would be a fine help to i the travellers and much appreciated by l them.
