PREPARING FOR FAIRGROUNDS SEASON

The annual meeting of. the Norwich Fairgrounds Association was held on Tuesday afternoon at 5 o'clock at the Chamber of Commerce rooms. Reports Of last years work were made by Miss Mary F. Mckay, who was in charge of the playgrounds in the city. Miss Me Rays report showed that while haAdi- capped because of lack of funds large amount of work had been accomplished. Her report follows:
 The tenth season of the Norwich Play ground Association was 8 very successful one, although due to lack of funds, only two grounds out of the usual five were opened on July IS. These grounds were located at Lake street and at the Falls, and each was in charge of a competent supervisor. The hours were from nine to twelve in the morning and from one-thir- ty to live in the afternoon with half day on Saturday.
 The equipment includes swings, large and small see-saws, sand boxes, croquet sets, slides, and at Lake street there was also a wading pool and baseball equip ment. All the apparatus at Lake street was repaired and one new baby swing was purchased with the proceeds turned over from the fresh air fund to the Play ground association. At the end, of the season this was the only one of OUT baby swings in good condition, So that another year 1t will be necessary to replace at least three or them. These swings are the only equipment that we have for the use of babies and small children, and at Lake street, especially there is usually a large number to be taken care of. which makes this apparatus very Aee- essary part of our equipment.
 The attendance was larger than for the previous season. The daily average at Lake street was 1S0 and at the Falls 70. and the children seemed to enjey the playgrounds more than ever before. Spe- ciai attention was paid to games, as this is the best means of installing the prin- ciples of fair play ,honesrS and kind ness, as well as giving all the children the same opportunity for recreation. Such play is also one of the greatest aids to Americanizatien.
 Part of the time was devoted to handi- work. The larger girls engaged in em- broidery, ereeheting and knitting, while

 Many interesting circulars and pamph- let's have been received from the New York office of the Playground and Rec reatlon Association of America, during the year.
 Before closing my report I wish to take this opportunity to thank the execu. tive committee for helpful suggestions, my assistants for hearty co-opera glon and all who helped in any wa9 to make the season a success
 Plans For Coming Year.

VOTES TO COMPLETE
 oTAKER HILL AcMOOLMoNSE

At a special town meeting IT the Wa terford town hall at Jordan the voters decided to have Attorney Charles P. Gal lup. secretary of the .nee-ng, draw np a petition asking that Sae Waterford rail- road station remain open, sne send 4 copy to the New Haven rad and a copy to the public utilities commission. The motion was adopted hut o'ily about one third of the assemblage voted. First Se- lectman George E. Fodsythe presided at the meeting.
 The voters ged in a spirited dis cussion of expenditure of town money when action was called on the comple- ton of the Quaker Hifl school building. Quaker Hill residents were present in large numbers. with Attorney Jehn c. Geary as the spokesman as well as chair man of the board of school visitors. The opposition, represented by James Floyd. had very little chance to do more than vote a minority of 12 against 115 in fa- vor.
 It was said that the pupils are now so crowded together at the Quaker Hill school that the teachers cannot get even ordinary results and cannot attempt te do the btst work that could be done under less crowded conditions. For this reason, the board of school visitors had specifications made and plans drawn for the completion of the schoolhouse build ing to make the second hoor into two ad- ditional school rooms. This would re- quire the expenditure of ss,ooo or little less, and this was asked of the voters The request was granted, but, according to the opposition. no provision was made to secure the fund, and nc money can be taken from the town treasury for the work unless by permission of the voters at another special town meeting.

"They are enthusiastic, healthy and happy, and are fast being whipped into shape" Gen eral Cole said that though approximately so per cent. of the 2,600 guardsmen were raw recruits, the morale of the ex-service men was such that by the end of two weeks he thought the rockies would be equally as good at drilling as their com rades with the benefit of previous train ing. The enthusiastic willingness to work was common to every single man at camp, General Cole declared, and the re- ception which was given the governor at Liberty hall was pleasure to see.
 GeReral Cole expects to make trip to Mantle shortly to inspect the cavalry troops before they go to East Haven for rife pracice. He has set no date as yet, howevE.
