BUILDING LINE
 FOR STAMFORD
 EAST MAIN ST,

Members of the town council and members of the town planning board seem to be agreed on the question of establishing the 10 foot building line on the east of Main street, Strat- ford. The establishment of this line will be looked upon as a pre- eedent. so the proceedings of the nex. council meeting will be watched with interest by property owners throu.n- out the town.
 Donald Sammis, chairman of tho this building line. The opposition of some of the interested owners on the street drew the following state nent from MT. SaI,n,is:
 "Every move of this character un- dertaken in the town is certain to be opposed by some Eeople. The a1es- ton the council must decide, how ever, is whether the interest of one mount to the interests of the town as a whole.
 .sEstablishment of ton foct building line does not mean that the town is going to take away ten fee. of the land from the property owners along the street where the l,ue is established. It merely n.eans that danger of collision at street intersec- CTS of vehicles approaching from diff ferent directions, will be able to see each other in time to avoid accidents. It will also mean that irreparable damage will not be done to residen- tial property by having stores built out flush with the sidewalks, cutting off light and view from adjacent houses.
 Leroy Lewis, chairman of the Peo- ple's General Committee, today, is- sued a statement in which he stated that it will be necessary to continue the work of the committee as there are still some people in Stratford who are determined to oppose the Coun- cil-manager form of government and to bring it into diSrepute.

BIG FEATURE sEsURED

After the publication of Sinclair
Lewis "Main Street." which was
only half truth, it became the duty OF
some author to write a novel which
would present an exact picture and tell
the whole truth about American small
town life; in other words, to show both
sides of "Main Street, The talented
Zona Gale may not have had that idea
exactly in mind when she wrote "Miss
Lulu Bett," but at any rate the work
served the purpose and appeared at an
opportune time. From the fact that it
is filled with human, everyday truth
it has become the most talked about
and undoubtedly the most successful
story of recent years.
Only few novels lend themselves
readily to dramatization, but d work
Of genuine truth will be effective in
any form; 10 when the dramatized
version of "Miss Lulu Bett" appeared
it was almost as successful as the book;
so successful, in fact, that it won the
Pulitzer prize of $1,000 for the best
American play Of the year.
The fame Of this remarkable story
has spread everywhere and W know
that the readers of The Post are going
to thank us are going to commend our
enterprise and going to be convinced
more than ever that we keep IN mind
their interest and enjoyment, when
they learn that we are going 70 ss1es'
duce the story in these columns. We
ordered II just ss soon - we found
that II could be obtained for serial
publication. The first instaIlment will
appear In the issue of August 3.

TWO FAMILIES DIE
IN AUTO ACCIDENT

Those who read the press dispatches
telling of an auto and train collision
July 20, whom TWO families were ami
hilated, saw in it only q terrible acci-
dent such as happens altogether too
frequently in these days Of rapid tran
sit, but to Mrs. A. E. Wolf of this
city it carried deeper and sadder
meaning.
Daniel Fretz and wife, two sons and
one daughter, of Colorado Springs,
were killed instantly, as was also Jos
eph Baker. Mrs. Baker and her
daughter were so badly injured that
they died shortly after the accident.
The sad feature for Mrs. Wolf in
connection with the tragedy lies in the
fact that Mr.. Fretz was her brother,
and Mrs. Baker was her sister, and the
sudden humiliation Of the two fami.
lies is q severe blow to Mrs. Wolf,
who left at once for the scene, ac-
companied by her son, Howard.

TEACHERS INSTITUTE
FOR GLENWOOD

The Teachers Normal Institute for
the Thirteenth Normal district, com
prising the counties of Eagle. Garfield,
Grand, Moffat, Pitkin, Rio Blanco and
Summit, will be in session at the
county high school building in Glen
wood from July 81 to August 12 in
elusive, and large attendance from
the teachers of the aforesaid counties
is expected.
Without doubt it will be to the in
terest Of every teacher in the district
to attend and thus to take advanage
Of the excellent course Of training.
The advantage is not only to the teach
ers in personal and professional way,
but large benefit inures to the
schools in which these teachers will be
employed during the coming school
year.
Teachers, like the rest sf US, are in
no danger of being too well prepared
for the task for which they are en-.
ployed and, in the interest Of their
professional future, they owe it to
themselves and their employers, who
ever they may be, to make the most
Of every opportunity toward self i'm
provement.
The executive committee has planned
u splendid l'r0grum, having secured q
very uble faculty, headed by our own
Superintendent W. d. Blaine who in
addition to serving as conductor, will
instruct in classes in music, geogra-
ply, general sc:ence and arithmetic.
The fact that Mr.. Blaine has been put
In charge Of the institute is almost
enough in itself to secure Its success.
Bus he Is to be given able assistance
in the following Instructors and help
ers:
E. N. Freeman, superintendent Of
