WILL NOT ALLOW DECREASING IN
 LIMITS OF CITY
Board of Health Will Not
 Issue Permits for Use in Bridgeport.

Fairfield county boys and girls will raise pigs, where suitable places for their keep may be found The Fair
 quarters in Norwalk have already pur- chased a carload of the young squeai-
 CTS from New York state, which after
 proper inspection tly the Connecticut
 state authorities will be distributed
 throughout the county at cost, banks
 making loans to the children who promise to raise them, that the initial cost may be defrayed and larger quan-
 titles brought into the county. The Bridgeport board of health will,
 however, permit no violation of the city ordinances restricting the keep of domestic animals. At the offices it
 was said that permits will be issued
 for outlying sections where proper
 places are established but that none
 woul5 be issued for the central DOT
 tion or the city, although it was sug-
 gested that permits for Seaside and
 Beardsley park might be- considered should permission be obtaineld from
 the park board.
 Under the plan outlined by the Fair field County Farm bureau one pig will be supplied to each family having proper facilities for it's care. A local oank Will advance money in Bridge port to those desiring to join the club before June 29 and state and county
 prizes for the best product at the end the season will be available to the contestants.
 It is likely that the pigs to be dis tributed will be Chester Whites of be tween 8 and 10 weeks old. The price not yet fixed probably will be in the neighiborhood of $10.
 The new club will be known as the Connecticut Boys and Girls Pig, clubs, and children must be between the ages of 10 and IS years. Full instruc- tions for the care and entrance of pigs in the contest will be mailed upon application to the Farm bureau at Norwalk

PARCEL POST OFFICE WILL REMAIN IN
 PRESENT LOCATION

The parcel post division of the Bridgeport hospital will remain in its present location in the Lincoln build ing in Cannon street, for three more years. Although it had been proposed to extend and enlarge the federal building at Cannon and Broad streets for thep urpose of combining thep ar eel post service with the other mails this plan has temporarily been aban- doned and yesterday Postmaster Greene was authorized to sign lease for a period of. three years on the space now occupied by that depart ment.
 The present quarters are large and commodious, giving entrance directly to the street and have greatly aided in the transmission of these rural mails which, under the personal su- pervision of Postmaster Greene have grown extensively as a medium of produce exchange between the farmer and the consumer in this county and elsewhere.

Dickens Carnival.

Charles Dickens, the famous English
writer. presented a variety OF scenes
from his many stories Thursday night
/. in the auditorium OF the high school.
before a large and delighted audience.
The entertainment which was a
Dickens carnival. was refreshingly IN
usual and most cleverly presented. the
actors throwing themselves heartily
into the spirit of the various charac-
tiers. with an enthusiasm characteristic
OF high school students This very
spirit OF enjoyment on the part OF the
actors lifted the entertainment to
plane by itself
The quaint costumes Of the period Of
which Dickens wrote, were most care
fully and correctly represented The
odd, dron. characters with their in
tensely human traits all were portrayed
in highly realistic manner.
Characters RevIviiied.
From David COpperfield's proposal to
the delightful Dora" to the rather
terrifying brutality of "Squeers'" school
and "Faein's den." each scene revivi-
fed the familiar characters of Dickens
and all were portrayed with very
skilful stage arrangement. The char
acters We're well grouped, the stage
business given careful attention, and
the whole was great success in every
way.
In Mrs. Jarley's Wax Works" scene
from The Old Curiosity Shop" the
take-offs on various important FL Paso
characters was very good. Erwin
Schwartz gave good imitation Of his
father. A Schwartz Bruce Geiger was

clever manner and received lots Of
applause

class was encored and gave "AllegretO.''
an aesthetic dance
The breach of promise trial scene
from "Pickwick Papers" was one Of
the most dramatic and best presented
of the program. The variety OF charac-
ter types depicted with their odd COS
tuning and make ups. was excellent.
A. G. Alexander. as one of the ushers
in this, was quite hit.
Characters In Procession.
Following the scenes, there was =
procession of groups OF characters
from the various stories. in which 4
large number of the students took
part The procession passed across the
stage and Up and down each aisle OF
the auditorium. Charles Dickens

ductOry remarks. preceding each scene
and led the procession of characters
The high school orchestra played
selections between the scenes. Mem
bers of the cadet corps served as
ushers.
Mrs. J. n. Frank directed the enter

school was in charge OF the staging Of
each scene. The entertainment was
given for the benefit OF the library fund

needed reference books
