MARRIED TEACHERS CAUSE OF PROTEST
RumOred Changes Starts Controversy in Local
 Schools

Though no formal protest has been made as yet to the board of education in connection with the matter, rumors are current to the effect that there is opposition to the transfer of married teachers from any outlying district Into the school district in Waterbury.
 Questioned orl/the matter of mar ried teachers in the primary schools here this morning, Supt. Thomas J Condon pointed out that no married women were ever added to the staff of local grammar school teachers except in cases when schools came into the Waterbury district. In the case, he stated, the entire staff of the school, at the inc Of trans fer, was accepted as Q whole.
 The school superintendent also pointed out that there are very few married teachers in Waterbury school district at the present time and that none of these was ap- pointed after these schools had been included as part of the local dis trict.
 The rumors being circulated seem to center about the proposed re- moVal of some teachers from an out lying district into one of the city schools and the fact that some loca' teachers feel that married women should not be involved in the trai1s- fer.

TWO GUN HOXIE
 IS WITH CIRCUS
Veteran Western Star Is Among Other Celebrities
 on DOwnie Bros Roster

TWO Gun" Jack Hoxle, veteran western star, pictured above, ap- pears in person with Downie Bros. Circus and will be the feature at- traction of the big show when 1t comes here for matinee and night performances on the American Brass Lot, Thursday, May 28.
 For many years Jack has retained his place at the very peak of the list of cowboy screen stars and to- day is rated as one of the greatest of box-office attractions. He is a real cowboy of the old west and when the going gets tough in a pie ture Jack is not one to call for a double" to do his fist fighting or dangerous riding stunts. He loves the thrills and says a good fight keeps a fellow fit.

Believing the statements of pr. Thomas J. Condon made in oppo- Bition to the petition offered to the board of education by the residents of the Oronoke school district in re- gard to the transfer of the four up- per grades to Russell school to be misleading, the residents met last night and decided to issue state- ment to the public.
 At the same time, the residents of Park road school district, following in the footsteps of the Oronoke resi- dents, have also decided to circulate a petition in protest of the proposed action of the board of education in connection with the transfer of two rooms from Park road school to Russell. It was stated this morning that some 100 names had already been signed to the new petition of the Park road district and that many prominent persons living in the district had already afilxed their signatures to the protest.
 Similar Arguments
 The Park road residents offer practically the same arguments as the people of the Oronoke district, stating that the value of property and rents will suffer by the move of the board of education. They feel that a few repairs would be better than the proposed changing about of class rooms and that 8 school which has been 8 credit to the city in . growing district should not be subject to any curtailment in the matter of pupils.
 Fred s. Smith, formerly clerk of the Oronoke school district who worked without pay, and now an assistant manager of the American Brass Co, said today that more than 130 names had been signed to the petition. Mir. Smith is also vice. president of Mattatuck council, Boy Scouts of America, and president of the Roadside Protective association in the Oronoke district.
 Mir. Smiths Statement
 The statement of MT. Smith, rep- resenting the l30 signers of the pee ton, was as follows:
 Everyone in the district is an in- terested person and many of them would be affected in some way If the Oronoke school were discon- tinued. MT. Condon questions the representative character of the potion. Does he question the representative character n d Judgment of such old residents and well known residents as Harry
