NURSES TO ATTEND STATE CONVENTION
| WATERvILLE TRANSFER LEAGUE GAMES TO RRACUE TorringtOn Plays Here To-
 night-PropOse Par-
 ent-Teacher League

1ntenQent or ScnO0lS OOnoVdn ana the members of the board of edu-
 cation the Waterville teams in the Naugatuck Valley Amateur Bas-
 ketball league will play the remain
 der of it's scheduled home games
 on the floor of Sprague school
 gymnasium. At, the beginning of hall was used, but the facilities for the accommodation of the followers of the team were found to be en- tirely too inadequate as well as hazardous for spectators.
 By agreeing to contribute ten per cent of the gross receipts to the milk fund" of the school in
 addition to the regular janitorial and supervisory fees required when the gymnasium Is used by non- school organizations the local teams obtained favorable action on their
 petition to use the school floor. This will enable the followers of the team to witness the games with much more comfort and safe ty and, at the same time, contri- bute toward the fund used to pro-
 vide extra milk for the many un- der-nourished school children. This last factor should attract many
 supporters whose interest in bas- ketball may be secondary to aid- ing less fortunate children. It is a most worthy cause and should be supported.
 Tonight in the league game scheduled for Waterville, the local quintet, managed by Charles Denehy, Jr, will meet the Go. l.. team of Torrington. The present league standing places these teams but half a game apart, Waterville occupying second place with three wins and a single loss while the in four starts. A lively game is in prospect with watervilie fight ing to maintain it's second place position and its rivals endeavoring to win to share the second place berth. If Naugatuck, the league
 leaders, drop tonight's game with Thomaston K. of c. team, the Wa terville team, by defeating Tor rington, can obtain a first place tie
 with the Rubber Town firemen. As an added attraction this eve-
 ming the Waterville Girls will meet
 the Chase Girls team, led by Christine Calvin. This contest
 which is scheduled as an o'clock preliminary to the big game will start at o'clock. Plenty of ex- citement is promised by this game
 since both teams of girls have been exhibiting a fine brand of basket ball.
 Sprague Parent Teacher Group Proposed.
 The Fairmount Community club has taken the lead in the move
 ment from which, it is hoped, will result a Waterville Parent-Teach- CTS association. The matter of forming an organization through which the relationship between parents of local children and the faculty of Sprague grammar school
 night be brought closer and made
 productive of constructive sugges,, ton and action was first launched
 at the January business meeting of l the Fairmount club. After consid- erable discussion the matter was
 referred to a committee which had the authority to proceed along lines
 which it deemed best.
 On Monday evening that com
 mittee invited all Fairmounters in- terested to meet at the home of Mrs Percival Dixon on Suffolk street. There they met Mrs Warren s. Robbins, president of the Bunker Hill Parent-Teacher association,
 who spoke of the benefits to be derived in a general way from such an organization and described, in particular, the methods and suc-
 cess of her own association. Mrs
 Jennie G. Phillips, principal of Sprague grammar school, ex-
 pressed her hearty approval of the
 plan and pledged her personal CO.,
 operation and that of her faculty. After discussion 1t was felt that the organization might be more ef-
 fective if it were to include the
 entire Sprague school district with
 in the scope of its activities IT,
 stead of restricting it to that sec tion of Waterville served by the
 Fairmount Community club. A committee, headed by Mrs Jennie
 G. Phillips, and including Mrs Ben- jamin Bradley. Mrs Lawrence Bus
 key, and Mrs Edward Cookson, was
 named to study the situation and to
 call another meeting to which ed from any section of Waterville. Those who attended this weeks
 meeting were: MT and Mrs Fred erick Seidel, Mrs Jennie Phillips,
 Mrs Frank Bailey, MT and Mrs
 Everett Cook, Mrs John Smith,
 MT and Mrs Russell Atherton, Mrs
 Patrick F. Donahue, MT and Mrs
 Percival Dixon. Mrs Frank Kelli-
 her, Mrs Warren s. Robbins, Mrs Lawrence Buskey, Mrs Frederick LeFevre, Mrs Benjamin Bradley,
 Mrs Walter Hoerman. Mrs Robert
 Mcbride and Mrs William Ander- son.
 St Paul's Supper.
 For several years it has been the custom of the ladies of the
 Parish society of St Pauls Epis- copal church to observe the feast of St Paul, the patronal saint of | the parish by the serving of one of the suppers for which the housewives of that parish are just | ly famous. Although St PauPs day fell earlier in the week 1t was more convenient to serve the meal this afternoon and evening. The meal is open to the general public and roast pork and sauerkraut will constitute the major dish. The dining hall in the basement of St | PauTs parish house on Manville
 street will be open from to p.
