HIGH SCHOOL WORRIES

HIGH SlnooL NcNAh*' The senior high school problem is one commanding early solution; which means that the Board ot Education and city officials generally are discussing plans. As usual, en- tire agreement is not to be expect cd Where if is a matter of spending from s5oo,ooo to 100000 ana more, it would be folly to expect the wise men to agree too huffled'N' Consequently We are in for ht'le official hee having; uillhlate'! something will be done about it and the necessary bonds issued
 As usual there is some good Tn in all the arguments. That is what makes it a bit more difficult 10 ar rive at q satisfactory conclusion. The mayor believes in public forum to determine whether it is best 10 con- etruct new high school in the northern section of the city or to construct an addition to the present plant. A public forum such as con- templated is not as good as vote on the subject in which all the citizenry could take part; but we don't delude ourselves into thinking such vote is likely or possible. The forums are great if everyone interested attends, but then there would be no place big enough, eX- cept perhaps Walnut Hill park, 10 hold the forumites. However, on with the forum and let everyone with an idea in his cranium have his little say. Then the city dads will do just about what they in- tended to do in the first place.
 Unless high school student hap pens to live in the vicinity Of the present plant, getting 10 it is not an ideal occupation unless the oppor- tunity incident to walking is regard ed as an essential exercise.

CHILDLIKE FAITH
 LEADS WANDERERS
TulIy Describes Hobo Chimera Which
 Enthralls Half

Childlike belief in the pot of gold at the rainbow's end is responsible for the existence of a half million tramps in the United States today, according to Jim Fully, who emerged from hoboland a few years ago to become one of Americas outstanding authors,
 ssNearly all of us feel that things would break better for us in some other part of the country" says Tul- ly. but we seldom break the ties that hold us to one spot. The hobo has no ties and he Is always on the move.
 Utopia, where the police hand q dollar to every tramp, where free lunches and free beer are offered at every corner, is always some place else. generally at the farthest part of the country"
 Tully's best known novel, Beg gars of Life" has been filmed by Paramount with a cast headed by Beery and including Ri.hs~d Arien and Louise Brooks. William who made the air epic, Wings" directed the picture, which will be the Bradley Theatre feature next week Tuesday and Wednesday.

grunt and ''yes." Then wilfred sat down.
 Prosecuting Attorney Johnson said to the court that the large at tendance was due to raid. That the raid disclosed q game going on. That it had been going on for some time. He said that gambling is get ting too frequent in Putnam and something should be done. He said it brings discredit on our city. and re- commended a fine of SI0O and costs. 60 days in jail with the jail sentence suspended for one year. This sug- gestion was followed by Judge Geis- sier, who also said 1t was his duty to recommend that the license of the pool room be revoked.
 Luke Champaigns
 Just to break the monotony of the gambling aspect. or for some other good reason. the prosecutor put Luke Champaigne to plea. He was found drunk and admitted it. Luke is a log chopper. He came to Putnam to buy some clothes last Saturday. He bought the clothes and, without in. tending to- got drunk. Some one complained of Luke and he was lock ed up. S20 and costs was handed out to the wood chopper.
 Calls the Roll
 Then the calling of the roll began. As each name was called the man. charged with being a frequenter of a gambling place, arose and answered guilty. Some said present" others said "here." To make sure that all meant what they imported to say Jud- ge Geissler told them enmasse that if any desired to plead not guilty to say so then and there. Silence de- noted that everyone was satisfied.
 Uniucky I3
 Again the prosecutor addressed the court. This is the 18th day of the month. very unluGky day"
 But not Friday 9sinterrupted Hiz- honor.
 This is a time when all records are being broken. This gathering is a record for this court. but it is not credit to the town.
 Nor to the men," again inter spersed the judge.
 While in one light this is a small matter it brings diseredit on the town. These men have been throwing away money, money that in some cases should have gone to their families. All of them are getting unwholesome notoriety by being brought into this. Some of them appreciate their pre- dicament while l am afraid some of them don't"
 Attorney Johnson recommended a fine of $5 in each case and that costs be remitted. with the understanding that if any of the defendants came in again on similar charge this con viction would be considered. He said that the only object is to preserve the morals and good name of the com munity.
 Judge Geissler pointed out that the affair is not so small as it might be as each defendant could be fined $500 and sent to jail. He said while the offense is a minor one it doesn't tend to honor any of you; quite the re- verse"
 The court room was then cleared as the procession filed past the clerk and deposited the s5 assessment.

CHICKEN THEFTS

Reports of a number of thefts of chickens in this corner of the county have been reported to the state police. The thieves apparently arrive in auto mobiles, use a gas preparation that either kills or makes the flock uncon- seious. gather up all of the occupants of the coop, and disappear. Pomfret, Woodstock and Killingly have been paid visits to date.
