Saturday afternoon g group of scout masters and scout officials who assem- bled at the Congregational church, Taft vile, hi11ed to Riverside. following the trail across the dam and along the She tuckct. Victor Davis. scoutmaster of Troop 3, Taftville, furnished transpor- tation by boat across the river to a high rock island in the vicinity and rowed the various loads across to the camp site.

Noren. scoutmaster of troop 2, had invited each man to bring eats and everyone was pre- pared to cook his own. Some of the in teresting and appetizing things on the menu were roast pork chops, broiled steak. kabobs and potatoes baked in the embers. An excellent brand of coffee was prepared by Chef Davis and a supper attended happy appetites. Stories songs and Indian history enlivened the evening and all had a good time.

CRYSTAL AVENUE BRIDGE
 NOW USED FOR TRAF]

Crystal avenue in New London is now open to vehicular traffic. It has been closed during the greater part of a year, and all users of the trunk line east and west have been obliged to make detour in New London.
 Trolley cars of the Groton-St tonington line are operating through the avenue On a half hour schedule, but the sched- ules is maintained with some difficulty at times because of the necessity for opening the draw of the Thames river bridge to permit the passage of boats on the river. There will probably sl- ways be such interruptions the draw must be opened to accommodate river traffic and this will sometimes occur al about the same time that trolley cars arrive on the bridge.
 When the line was opened last week a 15-mi,, ute schedule was maintained for a couple of days, but the schedule is now half-hourly. It is understood that the 15-minute schedule could not be harmonized with the schedule operating to the west out of Groton. and then again, it is reported that the present patronage does not warrant any more frequent service.
