TOWN PEOPLE VOTE
 ON SCHOOL MATTER
Thompson Holds Meeting To- day to Settle Mechanicsville
 School Question

What was characterized as the larc- est meeting ever held by the town of Thompson was held this afternoon at the town house at Thompson Hill. The matter of business that was responsi- ble for this unusual turnout by towns people was the proposal to appropriate S35 ,000 for new four-room modern. fireproof sehoolhouse at Mechanics vile. Feeling on the question ran high, Mechaniesville being opposed in advocating the proposition by resi- dents in the northern part of the town, including Grosvenordale and North Grosvenordale.
 North Grosvenordale feels that it's school needs are more acute than those of Mechanicsville, and there fore if any school construction is go- ing to be authorized, North Grosven- ordale should have first consideration. Mechaniesville agrees that North Grosvenordale needs better school fa- eilitise. but does not aceede to the con tention that the north village should have first consideration.
 Supervisor Approves
 F. s. Camp, supervisor of elemen- tarY education in the state of Con necticut. for the State Board of Edu- cation, was a Thompson visitor re- gently He inspected and analysed school conditions and reached the con clusion that Mechanicsville's need of q new school was greater than that of North Grosvenordale, and in a public statement urged the townspeople :1 grant the request of Mechanicsville.
 The Patriot had hoped to secure the results of the meeting before going Co press. but the meeting was still in progress at press time.

BY WILLIAM A. RApFoRo

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give advice FREE OF
COST on all subjects pertaining to the
subject OF building, for the readers Of this
paper. ON account Of his wide experience
as Editor, Author and Manufa1 turer, he
is, without doubt, the highest Authority
on all these subjects. Address all inquiries
to William A. Radford, No, 1927 Prairie
avenue, Chicago, ILL.,, and only inclose
two-cent stamp for reply.
The period drawn on by the designer
of this home, with such attractive re.
Suits, is what is known as the Dutch
colonial. The gambrel roof is typical,
and the type in general such as to
commend itself to erection in any part
of the country-nprth or south, east or
west.
There is pleasing harmony In the
use of the variegated cedar or COM
position shingles in combination with
the wide siding. The shutters Of the
upper windt WIS add to the decorative
value, as does the quaint oval window
oyer the entrance-which Is the bath
oom window, by the Nway-and the
arched, gracefully PANIED curved attic
window. The latter serves, instead of
a louver, to maintain air circulation
In the attic, keeping the house ma
terially cooler in summer. D.
There are eight rooms and a sleep
ing porch which gives all the value
