FACTORY OUTFIT WINS
New Departure Flue and Piccolo
Corps Brings Home First Prizes
Court Cases Are Continued.
The first detachment Of the 5000
city school children who have been
invited to Lake Compounce as guests
OF the management took the resort
by storm this morning and with
their complimentary passes in hand
proceeded to miss nothing in the
amusement park.
Today's visitors were the smaller
members OF the school grades, as
the first four grades only were In
cluded in the lineup OF children to
visit the resort. Friday the four
higher grades, or approximately g.
500 more children will enjoy the
same privileges at the resort as their
slightly younger brethren.
All arrangements arc in charge of
/ a general committee which has
| worked in harmony with Pierce and
Norton, proprietors of Lake Com
pounce, during recent weeks. The
committee has taken special care to
make sure that the safety Of the
children will be looked after. With
! this idea in mind, the committee es-
! pecially requested that the parents
OF younger children accompany
them on the trip to the lake and
supervise their activities as much as
possible.
A taboo was also placed against
| the children entering the water. as
+, it was pointed out by the committee,
headed by Superintendent of Schools
Karl A. Reiche, that the task of
| taking care of three thousand chill
dren, most of them under twelve
years OF age would be particularly
| trying not only for the lifeguards at
Lake Compounce. but for those on
shore interested in their welfare.
Special cars were added to the
regular Lake Compounce schedule
by the Bristol and Plainville Electric
! company. In order to accommodate
children living in the different parts
of the city, specials were put on
from Forestville and the center of
the city.
A combination pass, embracing
the various rides at the resort. was
given each child by the Lake Com
j pounce management.
The occasion for the free enter
| tainment of the Bristol schoolgirl
| dren is the annual observance of
=, Children's Day by the National AS
which the Lake Compounce resort is
member. While the date was set
only as Thursday. the local manage
ment has extended the time so rs
to take care of the city's entire
school population, excluding high
school pupils.
