Stratford, Sept 25.---The most i'm
 portant meeting of this week will take
 place in the Town Hall tonight. The
 school question which has long been
 hanging fire will be put up before the house for a decision. Notices relating to the meeting and to this question have for some time been posted on the Bulletin. The second in the series of resolutions to be acted upon calls for the vestment in the Board of Fi- nance, by the voters, the right to is- sue and sell serial bonds under the cooperative name and seal of the town of Stratford These bonds are to be
 known as the School Bonds of 1919. ! The proceeds are to be used for the purchasing of a proper site the cree i ton of a new school and making ad-
 dfuons to the present schools The i bonds shall be dated -ovember 1, and will bear interest to the amount of 5
 per cent. per annum.
 ! Was 1t the gowns of the girls or the
 shimmy dance which the people so
 strongly objected to? No matter
 which it might lave been both have been altered The shtmmy will no
 more shake Stratford and the Jazzer- inos will Iengthen their skirts.
 l One or the most lnL6reEC1ng person. ages at the Red Mems carnival is the
 man who keeps the Red, White and ! Blue candy booth. Few Of Stratford s sport friends know that this man is ! the famous qugiIist, Curley McGuire; 1 the same Curley who but six months ago met Jack Dempsey in the Majestic
 Theatre of Scranton, Pa, and after a
 four round bout with the worlds
 champion came out the fresher of the , two; the same Curley who during the
 six drives made by the Treasury De- i partment of the United States, sold l g, ,5OO. .0O0 worth of Liberty Bonds. At | Trenton, Mcclure boxed Philadelphia J~ck O'Brien and in the short time of two hours and ten minutes sold bonds
 to the amount of S17 o0O. Though he has never been through a kindergar- ten, an academy or any other curri- culum of knowledge, he has met the world and is one of the cleanest cut fellows in it and can see nothing that is wrong or anything liable to criti-
 cism in the carnival or any of its spe- cial features. At church fairs and plays I. myself. have witnessed fea- lures upon which more unfavorable comment is due than anything I have seen at the Red Mems carnival. As to the truth of this statement, I am
 willing to meet anyone who cares to debate upon it." said MT. Mcclure.
 The contractors for the sewer sys- tenn in town are progressing rapidly
 with their work. The large trunk
 sewer has been laid in the lower part
 of the town and on Elm street. It is
 expected that within a years time the
 town will have a fine sewer system. There Is much surprise in town at the news that Officer Barnum will soon leave the police force to become truant officer. The popular "cop' has ]. been on the force since it's organiza- tion about three years ago. Before that time he was town constable.
