 IN THE SNOW SQUALL

The High School-Trade School base ball game scheduled for Wednesday afternoon was cancelled on account of the weather. No rain checks were given. It didn't rain. If the game had started the spectators would have to sing Button Up Your overcoat. ]" It was football rather than baseball weather. That is why it was decided to await the return of spring. Had the game started it would have been called because of snow. About five o'clock one of the heaviest downfalls of snow this year lasted for about two minutes.

SUMMER ROUND UP
 OF THE CHILDREN
Youngsters Who Enter School Next Year Are Now Being
 Examined
Campaign to Discover Latent Physical
 Defects

The summer round up of children who are to enter Putnam schools in the fall began in the high school auditorium Tuesday morning, when Dr. Ingraham, of the State Depart ment of Health, accompanied by a nurse and dental hygienist, exam ined a large group of children. They were assisted in their work by Dr. George T. Lamarche, school physician, Mrs. Lillian D. Morrison, school nurse, and Miss Esther Welles, local Red Cross Nurse.
 A thorough physical and dental ex- animation was given each child. The idea for the summer round up car ried on by the Connecticut Congress of Parents and Teachers in coopera- tion with the state board of health is the discovery of defects which would hinder the child at the beginning of his school work. Every defect found serious enough to require medical or surgical attention is always referred to the family physician for care.
 Shows Results
 The worth whileness of the work is shown by results as manifested by the health of the children and their abil- ity to enter school without unneces- sary physical defects.
 One of our school superintendents in an appeal to the Connecticut Con- gress of Parents and Teachers wrote :: We feel that We must have a summer round up again this year. There was nono held here last spring because of Al. l.. eta dren entering in the fall showed the effects of non-examinations with their follow-up work. There were many more absences from school because Of illness, than there were the two pre- ceding years when summer round ups were held"

 Displayed

While the gathering for the Knights of Columbus 37th Annual Concert and Ball was not record for at tendance. the post-Lenten social sea- son opening affair, that is annually staged by this organization Easter Monday evening, was a success. The scene was pretty one and the music was excellent
 The affair emphasized that the grand march of other days is fast fad ing from popularity. While there were some fifty or more couples in the hall at nine o'clock few cared to participate in the opening march.
 The march was carried out. how ever. led by Trustee George Harper and Mrs. Harper, with Past Grand Fnight Armand Montville and Mrs. Montville second in line. The floor had been arranged with potted palms and ierns to enable the marehers Go execute some unusual figures. Fol- lowing the march dancing began. There were fourteen dance numbers on the program with extras. Following the seventh dance there was an in- termission.
 Excellent Music
 An outstanding feature of the 37th ball vas the music. 'rhe Strollers' , an orchestra that is often heard over the radio from Providence, furnish ed the music. The twelve pieces were we'll balanced and the orchestra's se- ections were from the latest dance hits. The work of this organization, making it's first appearance in this city, was highly compiimented.
 From eight to nine o'clock the fol- lowing concert program was given "Serenade"; "I May be Wrong, But I Think You're Wonderful;" Song of India;" Love Me-; lover the Waves;" Waters of Minnetonka; La Paloma :" "The Swan;" "Chant of the Jungle"
 During the concert guests began to appear. By nine o'clock there was a steady stream of arrivals passing through the door. At half past nine o'clock the hall was comfortably filled with dancers Prominent, as each number was danced, were the pret- ty new gowns of the ladies. The new styles. which fashion has decreed, predominated. and knees have dis appeared, many of the skirts hanging to the shoe-tops. Overhead twinkled strings of eolored electric lights These were hung from each corner of the hall and centered in the mid de of the large drill shed.
 The orchestra was seated on stage in the northeast corner of the hall. Prominent at the front of the stage was the shield or the Knights of Co., lumbus set off with lights. The stage was banked with ferns and palms. The whole scene was a pretty and lively one, adding to the success of the first social affair of the Post-Lenten season.
 Those in charge of the 37th Annual were Grand Knight Thomas H. lgo; Lionel Charron, floor director, and the following committee; Chairman, Joseph Bove, treasurer, James j.. Charron; secretary, Camille Brodeur 1; George H. Harper, Michael L. White, Louis Johnson, Thomas r. Hanley and Bernard J McGarTy.
