two session plan in execution, t will be possible to accommodate 20 more pupils in the first grade. The age limit, which has been six years, will not disbar pupils over five years of age. Those whose ages are near est their sixth birthday will be per- mitted to enter until the allotment is completed. Parents wishing to enter their children are asked to communicate with Miss Griswold.
 The building committee of the school board discussed further the matter of school relief and another special meeting of the committee has been called for next Tuesday evening to further consider plans submitted by the architect.
 Tuition Certificates

It is essential that every pupil have his or her cerEfi- cate by Monday morning at the latest. Miss Griswold will be at home all day Sunday.
 Pastor to Say Farewell
 At the conclusion of tomorrow mornings service. during which he will preach his farewell sermon to his parishioners. Rev. Vernon L.. Phillips will leave with his family on an automobile trip which will bring him to Dayton, Va, where he win make preparations to take over his new duties as head of Shenan- doah college.
 Tomorrow will mark the sixth an- niversary of the day when MT. Phil lips preached his introductory ser- mon as pastor of the same congre- gation. He has been in charge Of the local church for that length Of time. during which he has endear- cd himself to the parishioners and the people of the town in general by his cheerful personality and un- tiring efforts in their behalf.
 When MT. Phillips accepted the pulpit at the local church he was engaged in study at Yale Divinity school and accepted on the ccndi- ton that he was to remain here for two years only. At the completion of the prescribed time he had decided to continue his work at the gradu- ate school of Yale, and as a conse- quence, he spent four additional years in the kensington pastorate. 1 During his tenure of the pulpit the membership of the church has increased from IA to IFS. This lat ter figure is exactly the same as the figures of membership during the year 1913. when the member | ship of the parish reached the high est point in the past 50 years.
 Mir. Phillips will carry with him the good wishes of his many friends. who will be interested in whatever success he and his family may en- joy.

Expect to Place Whole Ticket

 Tomorrow After short Summer
 SessionS-Auto Cages Tried in
 Court Today-Interesting Items.
 A caucus of democratic electors for the purpose of nominating can- didates for the town election will be held next Friday evening, according to an announcement made today by the democratic town committee. Due to the large attendance at the recent caucus he'd by the party democratic leaders are confident that next Fri days will be attended by one of the largest local gatherings of the party in years.
 Democratic leaders are strong in their statements that the party will place whole ticket in the field this year instead of endorsing various republican candidates as has been the custom for many years in the past. They feel that there are a number of men who can be placed on the ticket who are capable of drawing strong vote. It appears that many new faces will be seen in the political race this year.
 Not Candidates
 Ernest J. Millerick, a member of the finance board, and Edward P. Prior third selectman, both active democratic leaders, denied today that they were planning to seek positions on the school board.
 MT. Millerick stated that he would not consider a place on the school committee because of his position on the finance board. He said that he does not believe that any man and for this reason will not be a candidate for the school committee. MT. Prior termed the report as crazy"
 Benefit Card Party
 A public card party and dance will be given at the high school on Friday, September 26, for the bene- fit of the library building fund. It will be held under the auspices of Martha Rebekah lodge No. 45 and Sequassen lodge No. "A, I. o. o. F.
 Music for the dancing will be fur nished by shorty's Silver Slipper orchestra of Bristol. Cards will be enjoyed from s to 10 o'clock with prize for each table. Dancing will start at 10 o'clock and continue until midnight. Tickets are now on sale.

 Mir. and Mrs. Bennett S. Knox of Pennington avenue were pleasantly surprised at their home last evening when their children and friends gathered there 10 hold a party in honor of their filth wedding anni- versary. The couple had planned to spend their anniversary quietly and the visit of their many friends came as a complete surprise.
 The couple were the recipients of many beautiful gifts and all passed very enjoyable evening. MT. and Mrs. Knox are well known here and received many congratulatory calls and cards on their anniversary,

This figure will be increased next week as there will be additional registrations in the primary grades when the new desks and other equipment will have rived.
