For the girls of the seventh grade
the monthly percentage was 9S.3
per cent, making a total of 96.1 per
cent for the grade. This months at
tendance shows an improvement ov-
er that of the month of November.
However, We wish that our attend
dance could be even higher than it
has been in the past. The following

The seventh grade of the Freder-
lea school has been receiving the
Current Events, which is a small
weekly paper. 1t has proven a sub
ject of great interest to us. The
paper gives us valuable informa-
tion about foreign affairs, inventions
and affairs of state. We look for |
ward to its coming every week. |
Once a week we have what we call
Current Events Day. Each pupil Sc |
lects u topic of interest and tells |
the main points in the item. We find
the work very interesting, more so |
than an ordinary newspaper, bA-
cause it explains things fully and is
more easy to understand. 1t is ed |
lcation for the pupils and helps
them in their school work. We !
should find our work much harder I
without it.
The third grade pupils have earn
I'd $500 from making and selling
not iron and pot holders. They will
Ise this money for framing the
arge picture of our first President,
George Washington. They expect to
earn more money to purchase vic

be rendered by the city was signed sometime ago.
 Under the contract .he city will receive rates 10 per cent higher than those charged in Waterbury. The Hillcrest people will also be subject to any increase in rates that may be adopted by the city of Waterbury during future years and the 10 per cent extra charge will always remain in force.
 The work of laying the mains in the Hfllcrest district was started some weeks ago. It was carried out quickly due to the open winter.
 The last session of the legislature permitted the establishment of the Hillcrest fire district so that water might be brought from Waterbury. It is expected that in future years other communities surrounding this city will be supplied from the local water supply. Under the provisions of the contract signed Waterbury may shut off the Hillcrest supply if there is not enough water to serve local needs.
 1t is expected that as time goes on the water service in the Hill- crest section will be extended to various new streets by the officials of the district.
 The tcharter commission, in it's report to the legislature last ses- sion, recommended that Waterbury sell some of it's surplus water sup ply to surrounding communities and that q seperate water district, aside from the city government, be set up. While the city has decided to sell it's surplus water no change has been made insthe management of the water department.

The A. & P. Battery & Electric company, 264 East Main street, will exhibit Bendix's new product. the "Startix" at the local automo- bile show.
 This display will be found at the Studebaker booth in charge of Andy T. Halbing, one of the best known auto electricians in the state.
 "Startix," an amazing new safety device, automatically operates the starter on car, repeats if the en- zine fails and instantly re-starts the engine If 1t stalls.
 The device is small automatic electrical switch located on the dash or engine, eliminating the usual starter button. Both Stude- baker and Hudson Essex now in- clude "Startix" as standard equip mcnt on all their models. The op- erating principle is based on two solenoids or electro magnets with moving plungers; one the "main switch solenoid and the other the relay solenoid.

New York, N. Y.- Ernest C.. Holt, internationally known natur- alist and explorer, has been ap. pointed director of sanctuaries for the National Association of Audu- bon societies, according to an an- nouncement just made by Dr T. Gilbert Pearson, president of that organization. MT Holt, recognized as one of the leading ornitholigists in the United States, has led many scientific expeditions, or conducted surveys, particularly through the tropics, for q number of Institu- tions, including the American Museum of Natural History and Carnegie Museum of Pittsburg. His most recent expedition, con- ducted under the auspices of the National Geographic society, took him up the Orinoco river for hun dreds of miles.
 The National Association of Au- dubon societies either owns. guards and protects about 70 different areas, consisting of sanctparies for birds and mammals, or nesting colonies of sea-and other water birds, in various parts of the country. One of those owned by the association is the Roosevelt Bird Sanctuary at Oyster Bay, Long Island, surrounding on three sides the little cemetery where Theodore Roosevelt is buried. On this 12-acre tract, by the grave of America's great naturalist presi- dent, many species of song birds are protected throughout the year. more than 130 different species having been seen in the Sanctuary by the superintendent.

DON'T QUOTE ME

Washington, Feb 4--(UP)--lf one feels the need of q pleasant Is minutes in the quiet, unper- turbed company of New England aristocrat who will treat him well and not burden him with informa- ton, a call upon Secretary of the Navy Adams Is recommended.
 For adroit handling of visitors who come to learn what the navy is doing, Adams has no peer. He makes them feel at home, learns all they know about subjects that interest them, and tells them noth- ing.
 Of all the members of the cab inet he probably is the easiest to see. Newspapermen can always talk with him provided only that some navy officer doesn't want to see him first. They see him in ac- cordance with rank. The ncwspa- permen follow the ensigns. . Adams always greets the visitor with a handshake. If several are in the party, he shakes hands with all. Then he sits comfortably in his swivel chair swings his feet up onto the window ledge, puts the tips of his fingers together and usually begins to ask questions. He insists on looking a visitor squarely in the face.
 He has an old fashioned tele- phone-not the French or hand type--on his desk It always is getting in the line of his vision, and he always moves 1t.
 When newspapermen have fin- ished answering all of Adams questions. he bids everyone good bye pleasantly.
 Come again." he says. when you want some more erroneous in- formation
 Adams, the aristocrat. under goes the leveling influence just as do the admlrals and the captains when he gets into the navy depart ment cafeteria. There Is no frank" there. Tho secretary, Admiral Pratt or any other ranking officer has to take his place in line. and carry his own tray just as does gob or a blonde stenographer. And they are all in the same line first come first served.
 Adams carries a tray and, ap- propriatcly for a Bostonian. has q fondness for baked beans.
 He pays his own check and car ries his own tray to whatever ta- bio suits his fancy. Often he eats alone. Other times he will join a party of naval officers. who rise from their chairs as he approaches.
 Don't get up. gentlemen" he says. then seats himself.
 But he is not averse even to sit- ting down at one end of the press table.
