Valentine Day feature Maurice Tour nier in a special production, Deep Waters will be teh feature. The game the High school girls team had booked for the weekend in West Haven with the West Haven High girls team was called off at the last moment because the ladies from Orange had no hall It would seem | that a trifling thing such as a hall to play a game in would hove been kept in mind by the West Haven girls be- fore they booked a game As a result | of the disappointment the local girls l were forced to remain idle, although l they tried hard to arrange a game | with shelton This week the schedule 1 calls for a game with the Norwalk | High misses, at Norwalk.
 It seems evident that the taxpayers
 in the Lordship section will protest vigorously any attempted raise in
 that they have not gotten proper re-
 turns in fire protection, police pro- | ection, and lights, from the town Igovernment of Strabford.
