 To Make First Showing
 The Bristol High school band init tio1 in, it's new maroon uniforms at the Bristol High -Meriden High football game in the Silver City Saturday afternoon. The band, although it has never appeared before in uni- form. has provided inspiration aplenty for the team.
 The Meriden game is considered the season by Coach Thomas M. Monahan whose team stands at the top of the Central Connecticut h. terscholastic league in a tie with West Hartford. A win over Meriden Saturday would maintain clean slate for the local squad and would necessitate play-off with West Hartford for the league title. Coach Monahan will in all probability start his regular backfield, comprising Albie Gurske. Bob Greene, Andy Palau and Louie Goulette. Louie Albertelli, Roy Curtiss and Eddie Pratt will be utility men.

He explained that hope was entertained by fac tory officers that profits would be se- cured under contracts with the U. s. government and with Henry KatZ, Inc, of New York. which has placed an order tor a large quantity of toys for this year and expects to place even larger ones next year.
 Judge Malone stated that the lamp company employed in the neighborhood of so persons and for that reason wished that its opera tions be continued so as not to make worse the unemployment situation in Bristol.
