SCHOOL BOARD VOTES FOR RULES REVISION
(Continued from First Page)

to safeguard the board in case Of future matter.
 Committeeman James J. Butler was of the opinion that it would not do any harm to study the rules and if they were in need of change to take the necessary action.
 Secretary Henry T. Burr moved for an amendment to the motion which would provide that the board chairman and superintendent be in- cluded on the committee.
 Committeeman Halloran took the same view as Levitt. He felt that if a rule is found unsatisfactory it can be amended. Committeeman Casale seconded MT. Burr's amendment and asked how long the present rules were in effect. It was learned they were in existence since the schools were consolidated and were revised in 1924.
 "I don't believe in ancestor wor- ship and even if wise heads did draw these rules, it is entirely pos Sible that they can be improved upon,' Mir. Casale asserted.
 Mrs. kimball championed the rule that permits the textbook committee 10 reject any book. declaring that book agents mightotherwise be able 10 sell their books by approaching the full membership. including many who had not the time or the dispo- sition to read the books.
 Mr. Levitt arose to criticize the statement that a study of the rules with a view to revising them could do no harm. We have work 10 do here" he said If any member of the committee wants to bring in something to improve the system, all right but not merely because it can do no harm That's not a 'grown-up' way of doing things"

 The same group voted the oppo- site way on the original motion and it was carried. Mir. Halloran and Mrs kimball were named by Pres ident King because they were the oldest committee members in point of service.

$ YEARS APAR1,. PALS MEET HERE
Frank Kane and Joseph Gainley
 Were FOOt.RaCe Mates

Joseph Gainley Of Adams, Mass, and Frank Kane of New Britain met yesterday afternoon at police head quarters on Commercial street, in the presence of Detective Sergeant w. T.. McCue of the city and Tim o,hy Mulconry of Adams Mass. The fact undoubtedly would be entirely devoid of significance to the average person. but to Frank Kane and Jo- seph Gainley it meant much, for it was their first meeting in 40 years, and to sports followers of 35 years ago it also meant something, for the principals were well known foot runners in the early sos.
 Sergeant McCue sent for Kane, who was working at Landers. Frary tN Clark, and did not tell him the purpose of the message. Gainley and Mulconry had been in New Hartford, calling on Harry Donahue, also q former resident of Adams, Mass, and had decided to call on Sergeant McCue, Michael Welch, Patrick H. Corbett and Lieutenant Samuel Bamforth. Kane, reaching the police station, could hardly be- lieve that the man awaiting him was his old running mate and the greet ing of one to the other was affec- tionate. For some time the old timers ran their races over again. recalling many incidents that they would give much to repeat.
 Gainley and Mulconry were taken 10 the section now known as Norden street. Arch street, Linwood street extension and vicinity, where Rent schler's Park was formerly laid out. Gainley recalled that the last handi- cap he took part in at the park was in 1892. and he pointed out the ap- proXimate starting and finishing marks. He marveled at the great change in the appearance of the old park. which for years has been 2 residential section.
 Sergeant McCue had not seen Gainley in 26 years. the latter now being Il years of age. When he ton in the hose racing game, Ser geant McCue was a novice and the old timer took fancy to him and coached and trained him for number of years. Gainley regretted that he was not able to locate Welch and Corbett, both of whom he knew intimately, as they were foot run ners during his time. He recognized Lieutenant Bamforth. who wa; prominent in the running game while in SOuthington.

 While his attorneys continued le- gal maneuvers, Hickman informed visitors he was ready for sentence. Tt hasn't got me scared any, he told newspapermen II won't grow gray hairs because someone passes a death sentence"
 He then demanded information on hangings the reporters had Wit messed. He asked for "more. all the details" when answers to his ques- tions apparently were too vague.
