 If you are grown up yourself and don't like it be sure to come and renew your youth. Such chances don't come more than once or twice in life time.
 A nominal admission fee of 25 cents will be charged and the pro- ceeds turned over to the church repair fund.

REGARDING VACCINATION
Vote of School Committee Makes
 Enforcement Possible

Due to the recent smallpox scare about the state, the question has again arisen as to whether or not It was possible for the school committee to require that children be vaccln- ated. The Health Officers ' states that the following vote of the school committee makes it possible to en- force this order: !. It is hereby ordered that all pupils attending the schools of the Town of North Canaan after this date, will be required to be successfully vaccin- ated. A good scar is sufficient evl- dence, of a successful vaccination. Free vaccination will be provided for those on whom it would impose a financial hardship to comply with this order.
 Application for free vacelnatlon can be made to the school physician, Dr. F. H. Lee.

 Foster, Torrington High star, did stellar work for the visitors. Fogarty ably assisted him, but was trifie off on inshots. Baldwin played speedy game for the locals, sinking seven floor shots.

MISS ROXANNA STEVENS
 DIES ON MONDAY
Had Been Associated With Christ Church for
 73 Years

Miss Roxanna Stevens passed away at the home of her nephew Nathaniel $. Stevens, East Canaan, Monday evening after an illness of three months, following an attack or bronchial pneumonia. Miss Stevens was the last but one of a large fam Rily. She is survived by an invalid brother, Dennis Stevens who lives at York, North Dakota.
 Roxanna Stevens was born at Clayton, Mass. August 25, 1859, daughter of Jonathan Clark and Roxanna Durham Stevens. She was a sister of the late Henry C. Stevens of East Canaan, also Edward Stevens who conducted a hotel at Norfolk, Conn. for several years. She spent several years in Winsted with her brothers, who were proprietors of Hotel Winchester and the Beardsley House.
 Miss Stevens had been associated with Christ Church, Canaan for 73 years, first with the Sunday School and later a communicant. She was devout Christian woman, generous, loyal to her friends and regular attendant at church as long as her health would permit. She was of a retiring disposition, but the more intimately one knew her, the more respect was felt for her sterling qualities.
 The funeral will be attended at the home of her nephew, N. s. Ste vens, East Canaan this s(Thursdayl Afternoon at o'clock, services will be conducted by Rev. A. M. Griffin, rector of Christ Church, Canaan, assisted by Rev. Robert Fletcher of East Canaan. Burial will be at Hillside cemetery, East Canaan.

ODD FELLOWS DIDN'T PLAY
Masons Take Second of Setback t-s. Series by 30 Points

The second of the series of set back games was heldd at Masonic hall last Friday evening and while the Odd Fellows team was present it is said that they didn't play. This re- mark of course may be due to the fact that Masons gave them an awful rubbing-winning by 30 points. Possibly this also accounts for "Ves" Marshall applying at Scutt's barber shop for several applications of hair restorer during the past week.
 "Ves" had picked team of old Founders" in whom he placed such confidence that he was even willing to bet that little farm in York state on their winning. Sad to relate, however, when the scores were countedd up it was found that the Masons had won by 80 points. This decisive defeat is in some part due to the fact that "Ves" failed to instruct his men as on the previous occasion.
 This Friday night the games will be continued and the captain of the Odd Fellows team will have the following lineup: Dempsey, Wright, Roger, Stevens, Fraleigh, Moore, Scutt and Franks. If they don't win with this combination we will almost believe that their cause is hopeless.
 AS usual all Masons and Odd Eel lows are invited to see the fun. It is said that "Ves" has something up his sleeve. Come out-it might be worth seeing.

WHERE REGISTRATION FEES FOR AUTOS GO Five Hundred Miles of High way in Need of Re-
 Construction A

Automobile registration fees are of considerable import to almost every eastern state today, and Connecticut is no exception. The automobile has become of such proportion that con- siderable study is being made of it's many problems insofar as traffic and regulation is concerned.
 The fundamental of the automobile and the highway is contained in this statement: The automobile, which today uses the highways, should pay the cost of the highways. If the automobile rider cares little or noth- ing about the condition of the roads, very we'll. If he would have good roads he must pay for them The people as whole, who do not parti- cipate, should not be expected to pay. There are some who believe the highway proposition should be taken care of entirely by direct taxation If this is the case, where will this tax be placed? It is per tinent question. -..,.. .
 In Connecticut, there are 1,600' miles of trunk line highways. Out of this, $50 miles are roads built from time to time during the last 5 years and out of the 950 miles, 500 miles are in need of immediate re- construction. It is a fact that roads built as long ago as some portions of the $50 miles referred to are abso- lutely unsuitable both in foundation and surfacing as permanent high ways for the carrying of modern traffic. The modern use of these roads in volume, weight and speed of traffic is far in excess of anything for which they were ever intended. Conditions have changed so rapidly and traffic has increased by such leaps and bounds that they are no longer adequate. The future road building policy of the state must. therefore be predicated upon modern requirements of a tremenduous traffic. This. means that many miles of roads which are in immediate need of rebuilding, must be built shortly or else there must be a waste of the states money in replac- ing extraordinary wear and tear instead of expenditure on perman- ency.
 The fees from the registration of motor vehicles from the licensing of operators and from all the activities connected with the motor vehicle department of the state are devoted entirely to the use of the highway department. The process of collec- tion takes these fees through the motor vehicle department to the treasurer's office and from the treasurer's office the total collection is credited for use onthe state high ways.
 The reports of the highway com missioner show that in former years the amounts collected and credited have been barely enough to take up the wear and tear of the correspond ing year The result has been the expenditure of money received through motor vehicle fees actually only took care of the maintenance of present highways. @
 The legislature of 1921 had before it three taxing measures based upon motor vehicles. One had to do with the raising of motor vehicle fees, another with tax on fuels, and the third, which did not become law, with, the personal tax on motor ve- hicles. The first two measures were presented to the legislature with the full problem in view and it was
