have reported for company drill, the reservists being dismissed after roll call. Under the new arrangement the roll will not be called on Wednesday nights and the reservists who attend the drill will not do 50 under com pulsion.
 Considerable interest is taken in military instruction even by the men, who because of their age or duties as heads of families, were not put in the active company. and the Wednesday night drills are expected to attract many of them.
 When the conscription measure goes into operation the uniformed company will probably lose some of it's members who will be called into the service and their places will be filled from the list of reservists.
 School Teachers Plentiful.
 Members of the school committee report that they do not expect much trouble in filling whatever vacancies exist in the teaching force at the local schools when the Spring term is ended. Applications made by indt- viduals and through agencies indicate that there are plenty of teachers seek ing positions this year.
 The local committee has concluded that all of the teachers at present em- ployed. with tho possible exception of four, and more likely three, will accept contracts to return next fall. The petition of the teachers for an increase in salary because Of the high cost of living was granted last month by the board, and Principal Judas as- sistants. except for a few, immediately signif1ed their willingness to make contracts for another year.
 Mrs. Harold L.. Newell and Miss Johnson have advised the board that they will not return next year. Mrs. Newell does not wish permanent position, although she has advised the board she is willing to substitute. Miss Johnson has accepted a position as teacher in Bristol, her home city. There is a possibility that one or two of the others will decide to go else where in the fall.
 The staff will be kept practically intact, however. judging from the who have already signed con- tracts. Two new teachers will be re- quired next year for the rooms in the addition now in course of erection.
 The board has sent contracts to three applicants for places, and even should four of the present instructors resign, the staff will be complete, in the opinion of the committee when the term closes.
 No stranger to sheriff.
 John Dyer, a travelling painter, ar- rested for intoxication Monday by Constable Marino, made a strong plea for leniency yesterday afternoon when arraigned before Justice Condell. He wore a humilated expression when he faced the court and claimed he felt badly over having been arrested. par ticularly because of the fact that he had never before been in the clutches of the law.
 Justice eondell was not inclined to place much confidence in his story. but he let him off with a fine of $1 and costs.
 Dyer had spent all his money over the bar on the preceding day and he posed yesterday.
 Az q result he was taken to Jail to work out the penalty. Despite the fact that he professed absolute ig- norance of court methods and denied with jail authorities. Dyer was not unfamiliar with the or flcials at the Seyms street institution when he was brought there by the officer. He was greeted as an old timer who had ''done his bit in the 1ail on a number of occasions.
