 The special committee appointed at recent special town meeting to consider sites for the proposed new high school for Plainville, is work ing on its commission and accord ing to reports, the members will be ready to report back at another special town meeting to be convened soon.
 No definite site has been selected yet according 10 the latest informa- ton, but several sites are being con- sidered and 1t is expected that the committee will be able to decide on one before very long. The matter has been in abeyanCe until the com mittee finishes its work.
 Despite the fact that many have stated that the time was not propiti- ous at the present for a high school building, the majority of the peo- the building is needed. The address made by Charles II. Norton at the special town meeting last Thursday night in which he touched on the high school situation, has caused a great deal of enthusiasm and little trouble is expected in voting through the proposed new building.
 Tlainville has been fortunate in the fact that the town has an cX- ccllent school committee made up Of mon who have the respect and admiration of the public. Joseph r. Mccarthy, Edwin Hills, l.. $. Mills and Frederick Bullcn compose the committee and it was through their untiring efforts that the Linden street school was erected within the appropriation made for it.
 Health Association Notes
 The Plainville Public Health Nurs- ing association again has an cxcel- lent report of work accomplished 10 offer 10 the people of the town. Miss Elizabeth Heineman. visiting nurse. reported at the March meeting that 4l7 children were weighed and measured in the public schools. Of this number, A were found to be underwcight and this alone lends emphasis to the need of milk dis tribution in the schools. The board of directors of the association is awaiting word from the school Com- mittec as to the perfect safety in introducing this innovation into the schools since the passing of the cpl demic in Bristol.
 Miss Hcineman has had @&3 pa titnts under her care during the month. las dismissed 21 and still has %1@ on her visiting list. She has made 170 visits to homes and eight well baby conferences were held.
 At the present time, plans arc going forward for q wcll-bahy clinic to D" hell sometime in May. It is hoped that an all day session will be held so that all babies may have a chance to be weighed, measured and inspected by Dr. George F. Cook, health officer, the visiting nurse and a representative from the state board of health.
 The directors of the association hope that all members will bear in mind the annual meeting of the as- sociation in May.
