better than it has been for many years
 Fairgrounds

Certain of our backgrounds, how ever. need attention. This is true at South school. where the playground is both too small, and very muddy in rainy weather.
 At the Worthington school what would be a fine playground is so cut up by walks and driveways, as we'll as blocked by trees, that much of it is wasted so far as organized play is concerned.
 At Percival school there is no playground at all. When the build ing functioned as a Towh hall there was no need for a large lot. That does not hold true now that it is a two-room school. The only play ground the boys and girls of this school have is that of the public highway.
 The playground at Blue Hill school is one of the poorest we have. To the north lies a swan1py lot which gives off noxious odors and serves as a center of dampness for the school The playground is low, below the level of the road, and in rainy wealth CT is always wet and muddy. If the school is to be maintained the lot should be filled in with cinders or screenings to secure a good dry surface.
 Water Supply
 With a supply of running water available at the Percival, kensington and Worthington schools, definite plans should be made at once to modernize these buildings through the installation of modern sanitary toilets, and drinking facilities. At the Percival school we are compelled to depend upon the good will of the neighbors for water for the children. This school should therefore receive the first attention.
 At Warrington 1t will be possible to install sanitary toilets for the boys and girls without any extra building, since there are two small rooms available for the purpose. At Ken sington it would seem wise to build a small brick addition at the east end of the building, over the pres- ent basement area-way, to house the toilets. By placing them at this point they would be made available from the first floor landing. At Per cival it may be possible to partition off a portion of the large room which far exceeds the requirements for normal class. At this school 1t will be necessary to install the anti freezing type of toilets, since there is no furnace.
 A Good Candidate
 Several people of the town have said that while candidates for the po- sition of representative are being thought off, why does not someone suggest the name of some member of the new voting power in the country, the ladies, It is thought by many that Miss Marjorie Moore would make a good representative in the legislature. While not a politician, Miss Moore is thoroughly familiar have suggested her name. However, it Is not known whether Miss Moore would enter a contest or not
 Reunion of Veterans,

 Barn Dance Tonight
 Suggestive of old-time country af- 'airs are the dances which are held weekly in the barn of Emil Woke of Cromwell.
