VACATION BIBLE
 SCHOOL ID START
Sessions Will Be Held This Year
 in Methodist Church

Plans are under way for the an nual session of the Vacation Church School to be held this year in the Trinity Methodist church. This school under the auspices of the New Britain Council of Religious Educa- tion and financed by contributions from several cooperating Protestant churches has had eight successful seasons, Enrolment Is open 10 all children from four 10 14 years of age regardless of religious denomi- nation. Sessions will begin Tuesday morning, July z. and continue each morning from 3 to II o'clock for four weeks to July 31 Saturdays and Sundays excepted).
 The first hour is devoted to relig- ious instruction. Bible verse hunt ing memory work of hymns and Bible stories, story telling, Bible story dramatization, worship, etc. The second hour is given to craft work such as basketry, hammock making. millinery, dress making, cooking. toy making, shoe mending. etc.
 Mrs. F. Chester Hale, who has conducted the school for the past two years, will be in charge again this summer. Competent and exper- fenced teachers are being engaged to assist.
 The enrolment last year was 300, and plans are being made to accom- modate more this year. The commit tee in charge of the work is com- posed of o. A. Marsh of the Stan ley Memorial church, chairman; Miss Cora Grauich of the Trinity Methodist church, secretary; A. Ty- son Hancock of the First Congrega- tional church, F. L. Fay of the South Congre gational church, Emil Hjerpe of the Swedish Bethany church, F. R. Hitchcock of the First Baptist, and w. B. Retz of the Ger man Baptist church.
 The enrolment during the past few years has been largely from the Sunday schools, and it is planned this year to extend it's influence to children who are not already en- rolled in some church school. As the maximum enrolment Is usually reached within the first few days after which registration cannot be accepted) parents who are interest ed are being urged to send their children on the first day. A registra- ton fee of 25 cents per family will be charged this year to partly cover the cost of new Bibles which will have to be purchased for the entire school, as those previously used are worn out.

Southport, June 1.-Two sailing sloops, the Little Hope" owned by Helen B. Van Schaick, and the "Baghera. owned by Dr. DouEai Bissell, were stolen from the South port outer harbor early yesterday by sound pirates, who evidently lowed the boats out into the sound with another sail boat. as no motorhoat was heard by any of crew sleep ing on a nearby boat. The Bag hera" was found drifting outside the harbor, abandoned by the thieves when they discovered that it was rudderless. The search for the Little Hope" a 27-foot sailing cabin sloop. valued at sc.000. was unsuccessful although the alarm was spread all along the coast and was also communicated 10 points on Long Island.
