of the post turn out 10 attend the service as a demonstration of tho respect with which the last few members of the Grand Army are held by the nation as Il whole Orders from the commander have been issued, asking the members ol the pcat to meet at the post rooms on Whiting street Sunday morning at lo;l5 o'clock dressed in civilian clothes and Legion caps, prepared 10 attend the service in the church scheduled 10 be held at 1O;45 o'clock.
 Without q doubt, the members of the post will attend to a- man. be cause of the absence of many Of the veterans of the Civil war who have answered the last call. Every year sees u less number of the one llmo heroes and all honor and re- Sprrt of the younger generations is due the last remnant Of the once glorious conqucring army whose efforts have made this country what it Is today.
 Joined with the veterans of inc C. A. k. will be the members Of the United Spanish War veterans who live in r,aiuNIlc, the Sons of Veterans and the Legion members and undoubtedly the church will b. hIlcd on next Sunday.
 High SClOUl Site
 As tie lime for rho special town meeting ut which the special com mltloc appointed to investigate sites for a proposed new High school building will report on their findings, draws noar plainyIle is agog with interest and speculation. It Is eyi- dent from statistics, gathered and tn" recommendations Of many au- thorItics on high schools, that the budding site should be nearest the center of the population and as tlls IS in the eastern section of the town, it is deducted that the com mt'tee will report tomorrow night on site in the end of the town.
 The next item of speculation is on the size Of tho site to be chosen, The size of the average high school site for schools erected in the United Statrs for the past six years is over 10 acres. In inc California and Connecticut rccom- m'nda'ions for school grounds may be found the following: "One-halr acr" Of playground exclusive of The buildings is the least that should be provided for playground purposes Tor each room school contains. The site Shonld be so situated that 1t will give the High school bmld- ing setting in keeping with the cost Of the building and the i'm portance Of tho structure. ADy nigh school planned wi'hom adc- quate grounds for athletic purposes and games for boys and girls is out or date before it is crectrd." vTho California school code is responsible for the last sentence.
 Therefore, the size Of ,hc sita fo. the new high school which plain- Vile will undoubtedly have. is 4 question that must have occunicd the minds of tho members Of the committee for some lime and have made their work all the more diff cult.
 Whether the voters who plan to attend the meeting tomorrow ripbt can see this in inc same light thu, the committee saw it. is 4 question that will be debated al the m nrotinr II the former meetings on school questions are any criterion tomor- TO" nights session will be one Inf the largest held in recent years,
