NENyVTOVIN COMMUNITY SCHOOL
 HAS 42 STUDENTS; HICF'
 SCHOOL REPAIRS TlNEnTY-SIx

Newtown, Nov. 14-Herewith is sent a list of the pupils who are at tending the Community School, which is correct in every detail.
 With one exception the 45 students who went out on October 20 from High school remained out and are at tending the new private school. One girl attends school out of town and one boy has taken a, position to work out of town.
 The new school shows registration of 42 students as follows: Misses Marguerite Bradley, Helen Northrop, Helen Mead, Edna Hopkins, Emma MoIler, Rose Evans, Natalie Read, Helen Joy, Hannah Corbett, Agnes Glover, Helen Howard, Esther COger, Edna Stowe, Gertrude Wellington, Lillian Strisik, Evelyn Tobias, Mildred Cuff, Ethel Peck, Isabel Tieman, Alice OImstead, May Sturgess, May Platt, Ruth Hanlon, Laura Ruffles, Phillis Wentsch.
 Boys are: Jacob schoch, Earle Smith, James Corbett, Ellsworth Case, John Rave, Seaman Mead, Willis Arndt, Earnest Hawley, Clark files, Francis Vaneck, Harry Null Ter, Joseph Mccarthy, Robert Mitch ell. William Duda, Raymond and

 The High school roll call of 26 is as follows: Misses Jennie and Cath erire Lundgrin, Catherine Kelly, Anna ScanIon, Agatha Kennedy, Hel- en Campbell, Mary Kinery, Louise Keane, Gertrude Grove, Catherine Sheehan, Helen Egan, Anna Cava- n2ugh, Mary Heating, Mabel Lock wood, Nora MahOney, Leona Bale.
 Boys are: Charles Leiss, Donald Meeker, John P. Keane. Edward Me Ginley, Cornelius Houlihan, Charles Bartran, Arthur Carmody, Thomas Heating. Maurice Carroll, Benjamin Schaeffer, Joseph Heating.
 The new Community school faculty will be reinforced on Wednesday of next week by Miss Lucetta Roster, whose resignation was handed in to the supervisor of schools to take eff feet in 30 days, which time expires Nov. 20. This leaves only one teacher at High school besides the teacher of sub-freshman department.
 The town is not entirely pleased with the article on the school situa- tion, which was printed in the Times recently, and presumably written by regular staff writer of the paper. Vio- fence, such as was considered neces sary behind closed doors should have remained there to serve it's ends. However, if the spirit of charity so lavish among the so called supporters of the supervisor during the inycs ti- gation had been even noticeable dur ing nearly two years previous, fewer rumors would have spread and no in Testigation would have been neces- sary. Indiscretion is not immortality to De sure, but we believe a man or woman who is qualified for the posi- tOn of principal or teacher in any school, not to speak of high school, should be above reproach Neither do we call it a square deal to defame any one citizen to protect another. The witness in question is longer in Newtown than the super visor and is a useful, hard working man. Many parents who are the support of schools are here lifetime and hope to remain if their children are educated in a satisfactory man ner.
 The writer is of the opinion that the town s interests were better served by keeping so many unpleasant stories unpublished. As the towns corre- spondent in this particular matter 1 feel justified in sending the above and am prepared to give detailed ac- counts if needs be to prove faith to both sides so unnecessarily made sec tarian and so bitterly contested by many who have no vital interest in the children concerned

OBSERVE FIRST CLOSING AT 6
 WITH A DANCE
5000 Invitations Issued for Celebration at
 Casino

For the first time in the business history of Bridgeport the principal places of business will close their doors at six o'clock on Saturday nights, commencing Nov. 18th. This is in line with the progressive move ment by the up to date business man of today who is willing to close his place of business on Saturday night so that his employees will enjoy prac- tically the same working hours that
 their fellow employees in the factories
 enjoy.
 Bridgeport will celebrate the Yale Princeton game on Saturday night
 and will also celebrate the inaugura- { ton of the. Saturday night closing. Over five thousand invitations have been issued by Bridgeport's progress sive merchants to their employees and friends to celebrate the Saturday night closing at the Casino tomorrow night.
 Mayor Clifford B. Wilson will open the program with a brief address and the entertainment committee have ar ranged for an extensive musical and
 literary entertainment followed by dancing.
 Bridgeport is the first city in the New England States to officially eel
 eorate the Saturday closing and it simply marks another epoch in the business progress of Bridgeport. Our city has enjoyed the enviabIe reputa- i ton of going over the top in every movement that it has started since
 the beginning of the world war and it is safe to predict that the Saturday
 night closing will go over the top the came as all other live progressive movements in Bridgeport. i The following is the official pro gram arranged in celebration of the formal Saturday night closing: i Overture, Coast Artillery Band. Address, Hon. Clifford B. Wilson. | Selection, Murray's Orchestra l Singing, led by MT. Alvin S. Bruel; accompanist, Mrs. Walter Lindley. Song composed by Frank Braith- i waithe.

Imagine being given a job as ex- tra in the same picture in which YOU are starring!
 You say it couldn't happen?
 Just listen to this. During the filming of Hive Sparks, 5 J. Warren Kerrigan's latest Brunton production, the star spent many of his off hours roaming about Old Sonoratown, the Mexican district of Los Angeles, gathering material for film play, which he is writing as a vehicle for himself. When on these excursions he was generally rigged out to match the scenery in a batter ed Stetson. flannel shirt and heavy work shoes.
 One morning he stood on a street corner in Sonoratown talking with a group of MeXicans. Down the street an auto bus backed tip to the curbing A man jumped out and entered d poolroom. A minute later he emerg- ed with a small army of Mexicans at his heels. The Mexicans climbed into the bus and the man ran toward Kerrigan and his friends.
 You boys want Work?" he de- manded

 All right said the Me-icans.
 "AlI right said Jack. At the Brunton studios the mob was rehearsed for a thrilling fight scene by Ernest Warde, Kerrigan' s director. The moment Warde yelled 'Cameran' Jack began laying about him like a mad bull. One Mexican after another closed his eyes blissful- Iy and wilted to the ground. In the heat of the conflict Kerrigan lost his hat.
 Warde rubbed his eyes increduous- ly, yelled "Cut!" and ran over to the grinning super.
 "Jack!" he roared. "What's the big idea! What the blankety-blank are you doing here! Hey? You don't fig ure in this scene! By golly-'

100000 bags (of 132 pounds per bag), while the quantity entering the United States in the ten months of 1919, for which figures are available, is slightly more than s,0O0,000 bags. and while the quantity re-eXported during the full year may reach a half million bags, it is apparent that the coffee consumption in the United States in the calendar year 1919 will be more than 50 per cent. of the worlds production in the crop year 191S-19. which was. however, but 13,64O,000 bags against 1S,S47, ,00O in 1917-1S.
 Per capita consumption, despite the fact that the cost is now nearly three times as great as formerly, is running very high, and may "break the rec ord'' in the calendar year 1919. The average consumption, which was slightly less than five pounds per cap ita in the period 1861-7O; eight and one-half pounds per capita in the period of AS91-5; about nine and one half pounds per capita in the period 1906-12, has averaged over ten pounds per capita since 1912, and seems likely to be fully twelve pounds per capita in 1919, irrespective of the question of cost. The average i'm port price of coffee, according to the official figures of the Department of Commerce, was in August 1919, the latest official record, 21.sc per pound as against 9.4c per pound in August 1918, these figures being the average wholesale price of the coffee in the countries from which imported into the United States.

STILL DRINKING COFFEE DESPITE
 RAISE IN PRICE

Whether Prohibition has or has not increased the use of coffee, it is at least a fact that the people of the United States are now consuming more coffee than has been their GUS tom and paying far greater sums for it than ever before. A statement by The National City Bank of New York shows that the quantity of coffee brought into the United States in the calendar year 1919 will probably be greater than ever before notwith- standing the fact that the cost is about three times as much per pound as formerly. The imports for the ten months ending with October ap proximate LAO, 0,00o,000 pounds against 40,000,O00 pounds in the same months of last year, and 1,122,- O0o,Oo0 pounds in the corresponding months of 1917, the former high rec ord year in importation.
 In fact, says the Banks statement. the people of the United States are consuming this year over one-half of the worlds coffee crop. The total crop of the world for the coffee year 191S-19 is, according to the latest avai1a h1a hG,lrAs- slightly .sless than
