Residents of Brooklyn will wit ness the celebration of their Wash- ington Hill neighbors this after noon when the new Washington park Community house will be dedicated The Brooklynites have been trying to ; secure such building in their district for years without avail. It, remained for the churches and organizations to build or renovate premises for recreational purposes and whether or not the people of the section realize itor not they are far ahead of others at the present time.
 a Consideration must be given St .Joseph's hall, St Patrick's Ly- ceum, the Brooklyn hut. the Third Congregational church base ment, Barnard and Duggan school gymnasiums. All are equipped with ba six etball courts-and with the pos sible exception of the Third Con- eregational church, all have show CTS.

 Next season the Mt Carmel rec reation hall may be added to this list. The building will be modern in every detail. Work has already been started on the project.
 The finishing of the Job VIII mean that there will be seven rec reation centers in Brooklyn anu Town Plot sections. This accounts for the many winter activities.

The city budget TOT next year will be made up soon and unless there is an influential petition it will be. another year or ipossibly two before the opportu- nity' is at hand again. Perhaps some of the district leaders will consider the matter and take proper action.

 An interesting and timely com ment on student uprisings has been made by the National Education Association, of which Miss Daisy Lord of this city Is classroom de- partment president.
 "These violent manifestations, :" are neither evidences of a grow ing trend of general discomfort among the nations youth nor proof that the educational system of the country is in need of overhauling. So far as we can see they do not indicate any drift toward Commun- ism or anarchy. They grow out uf' purely local grievances. heightened by reading of strikes in other To- calities."

 900 Licensed Hunters in Connecticut

Hunting licenses are not pseil . ing" so good this. year in Water bury, a persusal of the current fig- urcs in the office of Town Clerk Dora A. Egan disclosed. \ Up to date less than 500 hunting licenses have been taken out although the open season is now on for water. fowl and upland game. This time last year there had been more than 700 licenses issued.
 Town Clerk Egan. stated when interviewed that she was surprised at the small number of applicants who have appeared to date to pros cure their licenses. In view of the fact that business conditions are better than they were a year ago it Is not believed that the depres- sion can be blamed for the sudden slump.
 Over 3O.OOO In State
 It Is estimated that more than 30.O0O hunting licenses have been issued so far in. Connecticut. Wa. terbury's total of less than 500, therefore, is considered quite small. Fish and Game Commits
