Pe- lrbcelli of Waterbury guilty of rnanslaughter has been granted. The appeal ordinarily would have to be in by next Tuesday, the 18th, but ik was learned today that Attorney Edward Mascolo, counsel for the ddctor had secured an extension till June 2.

Teachers Salaries
 Here Third Highest
State Board of Education Report Also Shows Cost
 for Pupil Below Average

The city of Waterbury, according to the figures released in the an- nual report of the state board of education for l934-35, is the third highest city in the state in the mat tef of average salary of teachers, the figure for this city being $l ,6o7 per year. The report also reveals the fact that average cost per pupil for a year in Waterbury is $l02.35. There are 25 towns and cities which show a higher figure than that in the state, Hartford being listed as $1l000 per year and many of the smaller towns going as high as $l50.
 Out of State Teachers
 There is one puzzling item in the annual report, however, which, when one considers the actual number of teachers on waiting lists through out the state, does not seem to tally with the decrease in registration in the lower grades. The report states that l53 new teachers for junior high school. industrial arts, com- mercial and college course teach CTS, were brought in from outside the state. It is true that the reg istration is higher than ever before in the state, but at the same time 1t appears that with registration in the lower grades falling of, within the next few years natives of Con- necticut will find it more difficult to secure positions. particularly in high schools. There are 0,458 per- sons engaged in teaching through out the state at the present time. and in i032-33 there were 9.6i6.
 Interesting Facts
 There are many other interesting items listed in the annual report. listed in part as follows:
 During the year eleven new junior high schools were added and there were thirty grammer schools. partic- ularly those of the one-room type. eliminated. The registration for high schools in the state. aided by the passage of the law which re- auires students to remain until they have reached the age of sixteen, has exceeded the 100000 for the first time. There are now i0i.6T4 high school pupils registered in the state. Last year there were only eo.52i.

meaning. It is designated as the an- nlversary of the Giv!ng of the ten commandments at Mount Sinai. The story of the revelation a. Sinai, which lives in the heart of every Jew, narrates the epochal event of Israel's acceptance of sacred mis- sion as "a Kingdom of priests and holy people"
 Shabuoth commentaries today both this solemn occasion and it's responsibility. For this reason the festival has been chosen by the Re- form Jewish synagogue as the ap- propriate time for it's confirmation service. At this service the boys and girls in Israel are consecrated to their faith and are admonished to live in accordance with tho prln- ciples and doctrines of Judaism. The service is of significance to all Israel for it emphasizes the Idea of spiritual freedom and Inspires the Jew to renewed loyalty to the great religious teachings promulgated aI Mount Sinai.

Arguments Heard
 Arguments in the appeal were heard Thursday by the states high- est court. A decision in the case is expected within the next few weeks, with the ruling expected to be of statewide importance.
 Tn his decision, Judge Simpson said:
 'Tho sole question is: Was 1t Q place where hot meals are reg ularly served at least twice daily as the principal business conduc- ted therein2
 ITO bring her place within this definition the burden was upon the plaintiff to prove that her place of business was Q place where hot meals were regularly served at least twice daily. This was question of fact for the decision of the commission.
 "Whilc the commission could not reasonably have found out that the appellant served hot meals at times during the day and was prepared to serve them as oc- casion might demand, yet 1t could reasonably have found from the testimony before 1t and before the court that hot meals were serV- cd in petitioners place only ir- regularly during the day or eve- ming, but nor egularly at least twice daily as the principal bus mess conducted in the place.
 "In the absence of testimony or facts showing that the conclusion of the commission was unreason- able or contrary to law, 1t will have to stand"
