The Waterbury Playground head office, formerly located in the of- flee of the Park Department in City Hall is situated this summer in the Hamilton park pavilion. The office from which all the playground instructions and activities will em- anate is under the supervision of Miss Kathleen McNally. Although James !. Curtin, superintendent of parks could not be reached to con1- ment on this new change, it Is sup- posed that under this arrangement all playground features and events can be handled satisfactorily through this department without consulting or referring to the city hall office.
 Another feature noticeable in this years alterations of the playground schedule is the closing of the play- grounds at S. o'clock on Saturdays. Previously the playgrounds remain ed open on Saturday evening there. by necessitating the presence of the supervisors in charge. The early closing of the recreational centers will allow supervisors chance to avail themselves of the privileges of long weekend, hitherto un- known to them.

VILLAGE INSPIRES VISIT
Writer in Italy Pens Word of Appreciation to LO-
 cal Committee

Almost before the snow disen. braced itself from the earth set- tlers' Village was reopened for the second season, on May 2Srd. Dur- ing the month since the opening more than four thousand people (4,324 to be exacD from aS far away as Russia and as near as Canal street, have registered ct the village.
 The exceptionally low adrnis- sion charge, the variety of ex- hibits, both international and in- dustrial, and the bracing air of Waterbury's western highland combine to attract both transients and townspeople. Almost no driver strange to the city passes down Chase Park driveway without noticing and being attracted into the grim log paliSade on the upper hillside.
 Within he finds in stone and wood the history of Waterbury from pioneer days to today. Wa terbury is one of but four New England cities which have marked by a memorial of any kind, let alone one 50 elaborate and mag niflcent as Settlers Village, the site where the communities first inhabitants cleared fields and where the town was born. It may have been Wilbur L. Cross, the governor of Connecticut, who said:
 This village is magnificent. It is the clothing of 8 splendid dream in steel and logs and con- crete. No citizen of Connecticut or Waterbury but should drop his tools and run to see It's proud story of the growth of Waterbury from the days of Daniel Boone to this day in the machine age."
 Show or Your Native City
 Much speculating has been done by the directors of the village who are headed as you know by the popular secretary to Mayor Hayes, Thomas Kelly, as to the reason why so many Waterbury people have returned as many as three times to the exhibition. Att tendantS at the village believe that the main attraction is that Wa terburians are taking the oppor- tunity offered by the presence of the village to show of to visitors the enterprise and magniflcence of their home town.
 Among the major contributors to the gigantic industrial exhibit housed for the second time in the town hall are the Scovill Manu- featuring company, and the Chase
