NauRatuck, July 3-Oflcial action ln slillng two vacancies in the lo- sal teaching stan was deferred to next month at the meeting of the board of education held yesterday afternoon in the high school.
 The places of Miss Kathleen Grove, Central avenue school first Rfade teacher who died, and of Miss Eileen Cleary, Prospect street school teacher who will marry next week, VIII be vacant, it was announced after the meeting.
 Although the matter was not of- flcially discussed after the meeting had been opened, the board held Q private session prior to its ofncial meeting and 1t is probable the mat ter WIS discussed at that time. It was announced that the reason for deferring filling these positions IS to see # any more vacancies VIII oc- cur before next month.
 The board session yesterday was short and peaceful. After the re- port of the superintendent for June vas accepted, only four matters were discussed.
 The superintendent Harold E, Chittenden, asked permission to have Q sixth grade ct Rubber ave- mue school next school year. There were only five grades there the past year, but one room can be divided Into two to make room for another grade.
 The reason for this is that there ls q large number of pupils who will enter seventh grade in Salem school this year.
 It was decided to have only one sixth grade in Salem school this year and the teacher who taught the other sixth grade there last term will be put at some other work in the school next fall. This ts expected to relieve the seventh grade congestion.
 Last school year there were two sixth grades, three seventh and thyee eighth grades In Salem school, at was brought out. The board granted the requested permission.

 The superintendent was also au- thorixed to sell the greenhouses on the B. B. Futile property on North Church street which was deeded to the town. The school department has no use for these and the Super- intendent reported ther arc three prospective buyers.
 "You are going to get greenbacks for the greenhouses" Peter Meegan, board member, wiSecracked. The entire board was in 0 holiday mood and repartee was brisk and humor- GUS.
 The superintendent reported the department will receive about $l2,- GOO within . few days. Most of this will be money from other towns for tuition of children. Beacon Falls pays the school department here eD,OO0 for it's children educated here, Some money will also be received from the state. We need the money, one member commented.
 = Discuss Cafeteria
 The superintendent was empower cd by the board to transfer a part of deficit of between $500 and $500 on the school cafeteria to the school account in order that some of the outstanding bills could be paid.
 Two months ago the superintend- ent had reported the high school cafeteria had been losing money in the past two years and yesterday A.~ a@tA khak Ia hnliAuad kha l0cr was due to the facts that food prices are high. the number of chil- ciren in the high school has not in- creased, and the depression has lim- tied the spending money of the stu- dents.
 He pointed out the cafeteria often made money in past years. It has been handled separate from the school account as 8 separate insti- tuition. He said if one of the three women workers there were dropped, it could stay within the budget but he was reluctant to do that last year. The operations committee of the board will decide what policy will be followed next fall, at later AAAGStAAAes
 Chairman >Rodenbach Jocularly asked the superintendent if he could not arrange to have one of the workers married, thus solving the problem. Attorney Henry Freeman said that similar situation has oc- cured recently in Waterbury and remarked he believes it fine thing to have such a cafeteria for local school children. Emil Mannweiler concurred in this.
 There was no decision as to the name to be given the B. B. Futile gift to the town. Several suggestions have been made but board members seem inclined to stick to B. B. Tut tic property or "estate".
 The matter of adjustments of teachers' salaries did not come up
