CHILDREN MAY USE
FESTIVAL HALL
Agreement Makes it Available for Rec
reatiOnaI Purposes Coming Winter
Except When Rented.

An agreement providing for the use
of Festival hall for recreational pur-
poses by the children of the town the
coming winter was completed last even
ing in a meeting between the selectmen
and a high school alumni committee
headed by Martin Austin. Under its
terms the hall viii be available for GYM
nasium purposes every weekday after
noon from $50 to 80 from Jan. 3 to
March 10. unless otherwise rented, and
the high school management Will have
the right to book a schedule of FIVE or
six basketball games on Friday evenings
during that period, avoiding so far as
possible any interference with regular
bookings at the Auditorium. The school
district Is to provide a custodian for the
property during its use by the boys and
girls and to be responsible for any dam
age except normal wear and tear.
This arrangement obviateS the neceS-
sity of providing other recreational quar-
ters for the school children this winter
and does away with the likelihood of a
temporary gymnasium building such as
was considered at the last annual meet
ing of the high school alumni association.
