H. 5. BAND ID PLAY
 FOR HARTFORD GAME
School Talent to Provide Stirring Music Next
 Saturday

\ movement under way at the Senior high school which has re reived the support of George 5 Ma hews. supervisor of music in the New Britain schools. to have a band composed Of high school students play at the Hartford high-New Brit ain high football game in Hartford on November 15 was approved to- day by Principal Louis P. Slade.
 X petition was circulated among the students and teachers in which they were asked to signify their approval Of tho idea, There werr IT names on the petition after fl hal been passed around this morn inr. Not only the students but teachers as well, have shown their enthusiasm over the idea.
 Several weeks ago. sponsors of the student band went 10 Principal Sladc and asked his permission 10 have the band provide the music al the Hartford high game just as Il has been doing for the Bulkeley and New Haven Hillhouse games. Prin- cipal Slade declined to give his per mission because at that time the boys did not have the backing Of members of the faculty and were un- sponsored.
 Because of the desire among the students that the high school band should be permitted to play at thc Hartford game, contributions to tho fund for hiring a band that has played at games in other years is small, so small that the sum is nol large enough to hire the band.
 This is the first time in the his tory of the local Senior high school that there has been a students band Although the number Of the musi- clans has been small at the New Haven Hillhouse and the Bulkeley game, many other student musicians have offered their services. Specta- tors at the two games at which the student band has played have re- marked at the spirit the boys show,
 Several members of the organiza- ton have told of offers by local men 10 outfit the band next year if it con tinucs to exist. William F. Fleisch- CT, who offered the Fleischer Cup for Triangular league football com petition which was won by the New Britain high school team last year, is said 10 have offered 10 aid in pur- chasing uniforms.

NO SALARY RAISES FOR CITY EMPLOYEES
Mayor Quigley Will Oppose Increases if Petitions
 Are Filed

Asked today about the possibility of the salaries of city officials and employes being increased, Mayor Quigley said he doubted that any petitions of this nature would be presented to the common council because everyone appreciates the fact that the conditions of the times do not warrant an upward ad justment of wages. He would not approve increases, he said, and pointed out that while there are un- doubtedly some men and women on the city payroll who earn more than they are paid, there are hundreds in the city who cannot find work of any kind.
 Petitions for salary increases must be filed with the common council at the December meeting, but reports about city hall indicate that there will be none this year.
