 What Is Going On Tonight.
 Obwebetuck Lodge, No. 1s, I. 70. Q. F.. meets at S07 Main Street.
 Ladies' Catholic Benevolent Asso- ciation meets in St. Joseph's Hall.
 The April. meeting of the school board was held in the selectmen rooms at the town building Wednes- day evening, all members of the board being in attendance. The meeting was called to order at S.15 by Chair man F. F. Guild, who called upon Sec retary Edgar A. Case for the March report. As there were no reports from the committees. Chairman Guild took up the new business. Secretary Case told of the musicale given recently at the High School hall under the aus pices of the Blanchette sisters. This concert netter netted $25 over eX- penses and the Blanchette sisters had presented a check for that amount to the properties committee to be used for repairs on the high school stage or as they might see fit. It was voted to accept this gift and thank the don- ors for their generosity. The question of continuing the compensa tion insur- ance came up and MT. Case stated that the policy lapsed at the end of the current month. It was voted to continue the policy which would cost in the neighborhood Of $100 for the coming period. The reading of bills followed and were voted paid as read. The most important question before i the school board during the evening was whether or not Miss Helen Lin nell teacher of mathematics at Wind l ham High school, should be given her 1 full salary for the April payment. Ac- 1 cording to tho rules of the board at i the present time when teachers are unable to teach their classes they are i entitled to pay for a period of not over ten days. Miss Linnell is confined ! to her home with scarlet fever 1 and quarantine will last for some time l to come. It was the idea of the board | that as Miss Linnell was to be held i at her home as protection for the public and her classes at the higf | school she should not be compelled tC l forfeit her April payment as would b' the case with an ordinary illness. A motion was made that Miss Linnel 1 should be entitled to her April pay 1 ment and it met the approval of the board. It was. however, understood II that this decision. would not establish a precedent for sickness of teacher at some future date, but that it sim ply covered that illness which re luIIe0 IHe pSISOIl III uH til such time as there should be n, l danger of spreading the disease upol resuming teaching at the schools.
 The meeting adjourned shortly be fore o'clock.
