ing Plans-Firemcn Meet Tonight Governor John II. Trumbull, re- l elected to the highest state office l by a large majority Tuesday, will be serenaded by the citizens of his home town tonight. A torchlight 1 parade will form at the town hall at o'clock this evening and march through the center of the town and out to the governors residence on Pennington avenue. The New De- parture band of Bristol has been secured to furnish music for the 1 marchers and the various organiza- tions of the town and the towns l people in general are being asked to participate in the demonstration. Those who take part are asked to bring flags and horns to make the celebration q colorful and noisy one of old-time style. The school chil- dren were told in their classes to- day of the planned serenade.
 The selectmen and the constables will lead the procession, and it is hoped that they will be followed by q large number of the townspeople. Ralph L, Seymour. chairman Of the republican town committee, is in charge of arrangements. The af fair will be entirely informal. and or not there will be any speechmak- ino at the Trumbull residence when the parade arrives there. It was originally planned to make the pill grimage to the governors home last night, but the celebration had to be postponed because of the gov ernor's absence from town.
 Seek Greater Safety
 The cooperation of parents Is be- ing earnestly sought by the school authorities in helping teachers and principals to have the school chill dren keep off the streets and obey the traffic officer who Is stationed at the corner Of Broad and Whit ing streets to protect them from ac- cidents. Many children disregard the officers commands. 1t has been reported to Principal Orrin L. Judd of the Broad street school and it is feared that this will result some day in serious accident, caused entirely through disobedience. If parents will cooperate in this and insist upon obedience and on the children remaining on the side walks, this cooperation will be much appreciated by teachers. offl- cers and school officials, who are seeking the welfare and protection of their pupils.
 Elaborate Building Plans
 The plans of the Sequassen Corp. Inc, for a new building on West Main street have been elaborated and the cost is now expected to be about $15o.00O instead of Sl00,Oo0 as originally estimated. The addl- tional sum will be raised by an is sue of stock. the directors and stock holders having voted to reopen the books and sell s50,0o0 worth of ' per cent preferred stock. The orig inal issue was at per cent
 Eight stores will be included in the building as now planned, while the theater, which will be leased by George Levitt of New Britain, will be larger than at first laid out.
 First Report Cards Out
 Pupils in the first grade received their first report cards of the term yesterday. Deficiency letters were sent to the parents whose children were unsatisfactory in two or more subjects, asking their cooperation and interest to help and encourage their children to better work and progress in the duties assigned them. Parents are requested to cooperate with the teachers and principals in sending their children regularly to school; to see that they do work al lotted to be done at home: and to visit the school at any time for an inspection of the work or for con- ference with teacher or principal. The home and the ;chool should work together. the authorities be- lieve, for the education and best in- terests of the children. Without this cooperation the child's develop ment is retarded.
