Board TO eet Nov. l2

No meeting of the board of edu- cation will be held Thursday, Supt. of Schools Harold E. Chittenden an- nounced today. The November ses- sion was scheduled for Thursday afternoon but instead it will be held on Nov. l2.
 The reason for the postponement Is 50 that the superintendent may attend the annual conference of New England superintendents, which will be held in Boston Thursday Of this week.
 The conference is usually held the second week in Novembr but the date was changed to the first week this year, and when the local superintendent advised the board members of this, and of his desire to attend, they agreed to the post ponement.
 The presence of the superinten- dent is virtually necessary at the board. meeting. He usually brings up matters for discussion and frequent ly the board members wish to as certain his opinion on the affairs being discussed before taking defi- mite action.

Adjourn Session


 Although the November session oi the board of warden. and burgesses is scheduled for this evening, 1t IS not likely any business will be dis cussed. It seemed probable this morning that if enough members attend to form quorm, the meet ing will be opened and officially ad- journed to q later date.
 The reason for this course is that the board members will probably be more interested in hearing the latest election returns than discussing the much more prosaic matters which would ordinarily come up.
 Naugatuck. Nov. 3-Warden John J. Sheridan today announced he is confident of big democratic vic- tory here today. The warden feels the people of this town will rally to the support of the president, and the entire democratic ticket.

 The number of republican workers active today was further indication of the determined effort that party is making to reduce the normal den- ocratic majority here.
 WPA Holiday Today
 WPA and PWA workers here had holiday today but without pay. A fairly recent ruling of the state WPA provides that the workers will not get pay for a day on which they don't work.

Some votec early this morning.
 Absentee Ballots
 Town Clerk Louis Schiller had 2l0 absentee ballots, that is from persons living out of town who have the right to vote here or from local persons too sick to come to the polls, and he gave them to the moderators to cast. Taverns were closed here today, 1t being a st-te law that they must be closed election day. Only five ma chimes were being used this morn- ing, the sixth that the town owns but never uses, being held in reserve in case one machine should break down. It is possible that if voting gets too heavy in the ward where the machine is, 1t may be set up in the last hour to accommodate the voters

OUR PICNIC
BY C. Marie Hughes

The Labor Day picnic given at
Glenwood park by this newspaper
was given the first time for the I'M
employed families. AS time goes
on it hopes to have it for all the
families of the Twin Cities who
wish to attend. But did that stop
anyone? I should say not. Every
one was there from all walks of
life. And believe me when I say
everyone spent most enjoyable
day. Watching the ladies jumping,
running, sack racing, slipper kick
ing, and etc., was loads Of fun. The
very best part of all for me was
seeing the same ladies the follow
ing day in all their stiffness. One
thing they did find out though was
just how badly they were in need
of their daily dozens. However,
they thought it was worth while in
order to win one of the many valu-
able prizes that were given away.

School days are here again.
There are a number of our groups
youngsters entering this year.
There is no other group in Ameri-
ca that needs special training more
than we. The responsibility for see
ing this training acquired is not
solely that of parents and rela-
tives. It is the joint responsibility
of all Aframerica. If some of our
religious, civic, and fraternal insti-
tutions would devote little more
of their efforts and finance toward
this end our advancement would be
materially enhanced. And this is
as true of Duluth and elsewhere.

on record as playing politics for

THE POSTBOX

One phase of activity in our
Legion Group which has oppor-
tunity for lasting service, not only
to ourselves, but to the people as a
whole, lies in the scope of the Com
mittee on Americanism. This long
neglected segment of service has
been heretofore considered more
as an honor than a rigorous duty.
This is possibly due to the fact
that as a race we have an unsullied
record of patriotism.
So Mr.. Chairman of the Commit
tee on Americanism, we are going
to try to give you a large order.
Suppose as Chairman of the above
mentioned Committee, you started
teaching our people where their
rights ended, and the other fellows
began. A large order Ell? Well,
that's just part of it. Suppose you
worked faithfully to teach those of
US who are honestly ignorant of
our everyday rights, which are be-
ing infringed on, more through our
ignorance, than the other fellows
cupidity. Suppose you interested
yourself in the brand of history
sometimes taught our young hope
fuls; instructed them how to avoid
or circumvent a great many social
injustices, to which they will no
doubt in later years be subjected.
Now if you prefer to pass those
jobs on to your subordinates, how
about taking this one on yourself.
Contact (and through American
Legion channels you have excellent
opportunities for such) the foreign
born. Teach them that Negroes
