Beacon Falls, August 29-Contin- ued appreciation of the many ad- vantages at High Rock park is being evidenced this year by the large number of persons going trough town to use the site as an outing place.
 There have been many who took advantage of this natural site and many inquiries have been heard here this summer as to just how to reach the spot. The park is lovely at this time of the year, the trees affording protection for the fiery rays of the sun, and there is a cooling stream handy where bathing is possible.
 The spot is in a beautiful set ting and more famous spots in oth- CT spots sometimes dim in luster when their beauty is compared with the delightfulness of High Rock park. With many local res- idents 1t seems to be a case of familiarity breeds contempt. They

 Will Be Useful
 A number of cut granite stones recently secured by the local EZRA administrator, Oscar Johnson for this town is expected to be quite useful here. Mir. Johnson got the stone from the New Haven rail- road company after negotiating with an official of that company.
 1t is expected the transfer of the stone from the old Pinesbridge railroad abutment near the present trestle at Pinesbridge will take pace in a few weeks. The stone ob- longs are expected to be used for guard railing purposes on each side of the tile bridge which is planed at the site of the wooden bridge spanning the raceway at the west end of the new wall on Burton road. The stones range from four to six feet in length and have an average thickness of 20 inches.
 It is believed they would have cost about $500 if bought by the town and MT. Johnson is being praised today for his work in ac- quiring them free of charge. The wall has been extended to about one-third of its intended length. It is believed the project will be ap- proved as a Works Progress ad- ministration job when the trans fer from EZRA to WPA takes place here.
 | Federal foods will be given out this afternoon from to 5 o'clock at the town hall. Persons on di. rect relief are eligible to receive them but EZRA workers and fam. flies are not.
