But if the ladies held their

"After a decision like that

Principals in the debate received
the news calmly-even diSinter-

The ladies of cinemaland we're
interested-there were some "ahs"
and "ohs" after they had recov'
cred from their surprise, and even
a few uplifted eyebrows but little
comment.

It is pos sible it will be held at a future date, but this has not yet been definitely settled.

Indications now are that erection of bathhouses near the New Dam, which had been requested by the Chamber of Commerce and ap- proved by the board of warden and burgesses, will be delayed for a long time and may not be done this summer, it was learned to-day. Warden John Sheridan said no pro- gress has been made in the attempt to get the permission of Mrs Car oline Astrom of Beacon Falls for building of set of bathhouses on her land near the dam.
 Until some headway is made on this nothing can De done the war den stated. It would be useless. he said, to erect one set of bathhouses on the land owned by the town, without erection on one of Mrs Astrom's property.
 The condition which has called for building of the houses for bathers at the dam is more prom inent on her land than on the town land, he added. For this reason he does not favor building of only one set of houses.
 Mrs Astrom says she does not want them erected on her land be- cause she hopes to sell the land later. The town cannot afford to buy the land from her and does not intend to, Warden Sheridan said.

To Appoint Teachers

Appointment of two new teach CTS is expected to be discussed at the meeting of the board of educa- tion next month, it was learned to- day. One is to replace Mrs Minnie Mccarthy Baxter, whose resigna- ton preceded her marriage last month. She has taught in both seventh and eighth grades.
 The other is to replace Miss J.. Frances Lewis, drawing instruc- tor, who retired this year. Action on transfers of some teachers is ex- pected to come up at the next meeting, Supt of Schools Chitten- den said to-day.
 He has heard nothing more as to assigning of local EZRA nursery school teachers to summer schools but expects to hear from state of- ficials concerning this in the near future.

Using EZRA Men On Schools

Federal Emergency Relief Ad- ministration workers here are still being used on local schools, Super intendent of Schools Harold E. Chittenden to-day announced. Two carpenters, two plumbers, one painter, and two electricians are working now on various schools, all on short hours however. Superintendent Chittenden said the painting of Central avenue school has not yet been started and he stated he did not know just when it would be begun. He thinks it may be advisable to delay this job until later when painters may need work more.
 Half of the local schools have now been painted. he said, and should beNin shape for at least six years more as far as painting goes. These are Millville, Pond Hill, Rub- Der avenue, Oak street and Beebe street schools.
 Painters have recently vanished the doors at Hop Brook school, a job badly needed, according to the superintendent.
 Plumbers recently finished at the Recreation field grandstand and every LIlluS OIl lIlS JUL lldS uON been completed except the seats.
 Men are busy removing books from the library in the local high school now because next week shelves will be installed there and the book cases now there will be removed. It is expected the selves will make it easier to get books and will also provide for an easier arrangement of books so that the one sought may be obtained more quickly.
 Rooms in the high school are be- ing cleaned at present. Superin- tendent Chitenden says he expects EZRA workers will soon begin re- pairing sashes at the high school.
 Principal Charles P. Slade of the local high school is busy preparing work programs for the students in the school next fall. He must determine just what time subjects in the course the pupils have sell ected will be taken and in just what rooms the pupils will be.
 Many residents have the impress sion that the high school princi- pal enjoys constant vacation like the teachers during the summer. However, this is entirely wrong for the task of getting the various pro grams for individual pupils ready coupled with routine business is one which can occupy hs time dur ing most of the summer.
