Pageant Takes PLaceAtN Rochelle College On Sunday

Miss Agnes Driscoll wrote tho muisc and words for the closing song. The pageant was directed by the faculty of the English de- pertinent.

It will be recalled his committee was formed after he last Roosevelt ball to handle peal funds derived from the ball which will be used to aid local par uysis sufferers.
 Action toward disposal of some pf the funds in the committed 's hands may be taken, the warden indicated. It is to be used locally only. With the new epidemic of paralysis in this vicinity the funds may be very useful.
 The warden said that a request may be made of the public for small donations at varying inter. vals in order that the fund may be maintained. Members of the com mittee included the superintendent of public welfare, Leo Scully, Miss Marian Keeffe, secretary of the lo- cal Red Cross chapter, Mrs. Will fam J. Neary, representing the day nursery, Rev. Edwin Gaffney, prin- cipal of St. Francis parochial school and Harold E. Chittenden, superintendent of schools.
 The warden is also on the com unittee as chairman and Edward Lingenheld is treasurer of the fund. Thus far there is about $220 in the treasury, he reports. No action tow ard using the fund has been talk sn yet because of slowness of the government in making returns on he ball.

Beacon Falls, Aug 27-Two odd ities of nature have been reported locally. One of them is an S-foot high tomato vine which Is grow in the garden of David OShea, state highway department worker. The plot is located on the Bethany road. The unusully large size plant is two feet higher than nearby corn and is still shooting up in the air. Reports have it that if this con- tinues, Mir. O'Shea will pull a Jack and the Beanstalk" stunt and climb up for a good view of the sur- rounding towns.
 He can give no explanation for the oddity. The plant is covered with clusters of small fruit and is attracting much attention.
 Two hills of potatoes recently produced 32 potatoes in an EZRA plot titled by Arthur Lawrence of Burton road. The plot is on Nun son road. This is quite lage yield for only two hills and other per- sons who cultivate the EZRA plots are hopeful of a big crop this year. MT.
