1 There might be one or two about whom a mistake could be made but it would be no trouble to have these done at late date, he said.
 Mistake to Wait
 It was a mistake in past years to wait until June to have the writing done, he said, for often things had to be done then in too much of Q rush. The new diplomas would be just for high school graduates. Not so much importance is attached to grammar school diplomas because most of these pupils continue on in high school, the superintendent explained.
 The J. L. Mammett company pro- duces the new type of diploma ex- hibited. Incidentally a real leather one costs $5. Dr. Charles Kennedy, the other member of the board pres ent, did not commit himself on his attitude toward the new diploma.
 That 1t has been an unusually severe winter is shown by the fact that for the first time in a number Of years, more coal has had to be bought after the main supply was purchased.
 Supt. Chittenden said that al! coal supplies at the various schools were uow but several ran out en- tirely last month.
 It was necessary to order ,car- load of coal. Salen school was eSpe- cially hard hit in this way. The
 l cost was placed at a low figure when the budget for the '35-'36 fs- ca year was drawn up, and when the original supply of coal was purchased, the cost was higher than had been expected, MT Chittenden said.
 C0lOred Maps
 Colored maps of the VI ,us coun- ties of the state covered with celloi phane, were shown the board mem bers. Supt Chittenden explained that Mrs. Edward Hance of the League of Women Voters got number of local person to buy sets of thes; maps dndividual maps of each county making up the seD, and donate them to the schools.
 High school pupils colored them, put them on boards and put on celluloid covers. They are in connec- tion with the tercentennary anni- versary of the state. They are quite attractive.
 Each town in county is repre- sented by notable landmarks or pie of well known figures. The block representing Naugatuck on the New Haven county map shows the following: "Naugatuck, settled 1705, incorporated 1844. The only town in the state to retain its original Indian name." There Is a picture of Pond Hill school built in l.; 9 and also of Charles Goodyear
 D discovered the vulcanizing process.
 Beacon Falls was settled in 1918 and incorporated in 1871, It's section on the maps shows. There is bar rel and bag of money representing purchase price of Tobey's mountain, W High Rock park. There is also picture of the Coe and French tLnnery, built before 1889.
 The fiscal report shows and ex- penditure for the II months of the fiscal year ending Feb. % of $l79,- 564.90 from the budget of $l87,00 This leaves only $7436 for this month. The average monthly ex- I allure for the II months is $l6,- 324.
 However state credit as the states share for school enumera- tion amounting to between $6000 and S7000 is expected this month and several much smaller credits , also due.
 Small Deficit
 It seems uncertain now whether
