cellent class demonstrations in read
ing and language. Mr.. Cooper of
the Wisconsin University Extension
and Mr.. Smith, Manitowoc County
Agricultural Agent spoke on Boys
and Girls Club work. 1t is hoped
that this work will be taken up by
the teachers and boys and girls, and
that many clubs will be established
this winter. Several teachers have
already reported that they have be-
gun the work.
Mr.. Groth of the American Ex-
change Bank of Manitowoc outlined

New doors and escapes to eliminate fire hazards has been made, know it. The boiler and the ash com- partment are completely freproof, enclosed in dreproof vaults with heavy two inch metallic doors New panic bolts have been placed at the doors, and the whole house could be emptied in very few minutes.
 From the gallery there are new exits leading into the office building and in fact, MT. Shea has made his theatre as well equipped against fire as any house in New England, ana that is something that people should | know about, for the recent theatrical | fire in New Haven brings out the fact that precaution is an excellent remedy | to take early in the spring, before the chills and levers come around. Man ager Shea is proud of the fact that he | is a little bit countrifled when it comes
 to being on the safe side of things. and he wants to have Bridgeport peo-
 pie know that in the Park, everything
 has been done to prevent trouble that his long theatrical experience knows
 how to do.
 MT Atwater and MT. Rowland have both called upon the manager and thave both expressed delight in the l changes made there, and all who have
 seen the metamorphosis will realize
 that their delight is symbolic; of the feeling of the hundred thousand
 Bridgeporters who will surely want to
 enjoy the Paramount screenings. l A full orchestra, augmented by the tbest musicians obtainable will open the Sunday night show with an over
 ture and will accompany the picture. Rent Free" with the one great idol of the screen, Wallace Reid. Waffle Reid as he is familiarly known to mo- tion picture lovers will make his for nal debut to the Park City public, in a laughing show. filled with comedy and joy. On such an occasion, MT

 shown, and he has daded Tooner- vile Trolley comedy.

Myron H. Osborne. valiant mail carrier who daily explores the wilds Of Paradise Green and Paradise Lawn ct al, had the time of his life yesterday. With all the snow, and all ahe rain, and all the Christmas rush. the Ford machine, of all days in the year, fractured a cylinder, and everybody got their mail too late for supper.
 Only first class mail could be dis tributed and Osborne had to borrow an old fashioned lanten and do a Paul Revere on foot until a, late hour.
 Going rom the end of Windsor ave nue down towards Horace street, with the last street light on Windsor avenue out of commission, Osborne almost got lost, but finally, by using the headlights of Berglund's car for s.eering point he again got his bearings. At Une time he feared he would have to summon Pomepoy rom the main office to bail him out but he finally finished the route without any real casual Ies.
