The match came to a thrill. ing finish on the 278 yard par 4 hole. The Mattatuck boys were away and both sent long tee shots in to the trap which crosses tllc fnirway i'm front of the green. One is allowed free lift from this habard after 8 tee shot, so all was well for Mattatuck. Frank English's shot took disas. trOus hook that left him an unplayablc lie. This left the pressure on for Ted, but this man of swat answered the call by hitting one from his shoes. The ball went its way, & long high lean hook and landed smack on the green, en feet from the pin. His two butts for a birdie brought an end to the thriller.

A best ball golf match, that for thrills, in our opinion, topped any ever held in this vicinity was staged at the Mattatuck Sunday afternoon when the English broth CTS, Frank and Ted, the long dis tance shot makers, took on the Mattatuck two-man team com posed of Paul Prill, the club pro and Al Labutis, who is fast &C., quiring a golfing reputation for himself. At the finish of eighteen holes the match was all square so the battle waged on for three ex- tra holes before the Mattatuck team was forced to concede victory to their opponents. It was case of little too much English on the ball for the Wolcott links color bearers.

shots at the can. Up stepped Paul and sent a beautiful pitch that split the pin and overran the cup by about five meet, leaving him a fairly easy chance for birdie. Ted and Al putted close enough for easy pars, which placed the burden on our MT. Prill. It is sad to relate that Paul's shot for the birdie did not have the proper im- pact, the ball curling away just before 1t reached the hole.
 Al Labutis turned in two snappy rounds of 35 for a 70 which was just one over Ted English's 69. On the second hole on the outgoing nine the rangy Al received plenty of applause from the gallery when he pitched beautiful shot out of the rough, over. a bunker for a birdie. All through the contest he matched shot for shot with the English boys. Quite golfer, this lad.

Salary Increase for
Teachers Assured by
Board of Education
Pay to Cover Full Eight Months with
No Clause as to Only Seventh
Month Raise

The state board Of education today
established a salary schedule for
teachers providing a 20 per cent in
crease for the full eight months of
the 1856 school year.
The board eliminated provision
recommended by the state school
commission that teachers be given a
20 per cent raise for seven months
with pay for the eighth month de-
pendent on such amounts as may be
available to be determined for each
teacher and principal on a pro-rata
basis.
No statement was made by men,
bers of the board as to where the ad-
ditional money to make up the full
20 per cent boost for the eighth
month will be derived. The state
school commission has estimated that
minimum shortage of $237 900 will
exist for the eighth month, Leroy
Martin, secretary, said.
The school commission under it's
plan of a full 20 per cent raise for
seven months and a pro rata division
of remaining money the eighth
month, set aside $20,O79 more than
the appropriations committee Of the
legislature intended for salaries. The
full appropriation for schools for
1856 for all purposes was $780,
OBJ 900.
It has been allocated as follows:
General control, which includes SAL
aries of superintendent and their
clerical assistants, $575,O0O.
Operation Of plant, of which heat
ing is the major item, $1,10O,0OO.
Auxiliary agencies, the major item
in this classification being school bus
transportation, $1,7S9,9 71.
Teachers and principals salaries,
SIT, 566,971.
The county superintendent, under
a pay schedule worked out several
weeks ago and approved by the edu-
cation board, will get an average
raise of 1875 per cent. 1t is expected
the city superintendent raises will
fall just below 20 per cent on the
average.
Stacey w. Wade, secretary of state
and an education board member, said
he believed the legislature intended
for the teachers to have 20 per cent
raise in salary. He said with return
to normal conditions the money
should be available.

ODE TO THE OAK

o, gnarled oak, so tall and still
pray tell the reas why
You stand so naughty and so proud
As though you thought you reached
the sky?
l know you are many centuries old,
for the inside of your trunk is
rotten.
In few more years you'll tumble
down
You'll be gone but not forgotten.
For underneath your leafy boughs,
though you did not know,
Was the playground of a little child
Many years ago.
Now there's an aged grandmother
with whittier hair than could tell
She looks up at your leafy boughs
For she remembers well
The oak tree-the haunt of her child
hOod-the one she used to climb;
She looks up through it's leafy shade
To the height sublime.
Written by
EDITH COWARD,
eleven years old.
