Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell

unconstitutional.
The section voided by the decision

MOVE TO BLOCK
SALE OF BONDS
Franklin Township Group
Files Injunction Suit on
School Issue.

A last-minute move to prevent
the sale of bonds for financing the
proposed New Bethel consolidated
school was made today by the Tax
payers Association of Franklin
Township.
The organization filed an injunc-
ton suit in Superior Court as the
school advisory board was open
ing bids for the $4,000 bond issue.
The fight over the construction
of the new school was carried to
the state tax board, which last
month approved the bond issue.
Residents of Acton fought the pro-
posal, because under the new plan
all high school pupils would be en-
rolled in the New Bethel school.
The sale of bonds, the action
declared, would be injurious to the
taxpayers. The bond issue and a
Federal grant would finance the
construction.

Nearly Flood Basement in
Process but All Turns
Out for Best.
BY TOM OCHILTREE

The first graders at School No. 16,
Bloomington and Market-Sts, may
be a major. worry to janitorS, but
their teacher is satisfied they know
how to surprise and please their
mothers.
On their best behavior and acting
so sweetly that sugar wouldn't melt
in their mouths, these 6-year- odds
held Mothers Day party in their
classroom today. To climax the
occasion they gave their mothers
petunias they had grown in their
own miniature greenhouse.
Miss Ethel Underwood, the
teacher, originated the greenhouse
idea, and received even more CO.
operation than she expected. The
young botanists were SO eager to
make their plants grow they almost
flooded. the basement.
Using small sprinkling cans
brought from home, the youngsters
worked on the theory that the more
water they poured the faster the
flowers would grow.
Pity the Poor Janitors
This eventually caused an over
flow, and water began seeping
through to the basement. The jan
itors, who think flowers place is
in the yard, weren't too pleased over
this turn of events. They kept silent,
however, in order not to put dam.
per on today's party.
The greenhouse, which is a two
deck, 5x5-foot structure, has been
filled with plants since fall. First
the children made a Dutch garden
and planted flowers which grow
from bulbs.
In February these began to
bloom, and the class gave a flower
show for other pupils. The petunias,
which were blooming today, were
planted in March.
Vegetables Not Neglected
Beans, corn, lettuce, radishes and
onions were put in early last month,
and recently rock garden and a
miniature clover field were added to
the greenhouse.
To keep the class interested, Miss
Underwood taught the children to
sing and recite pieces about the
various plants. They are blase
enough about this singing when
alone, but around strangers they
speed up the tempo and humble off
the last few phrases.
Many Of the girls think they
would like to raise flowers on a large
scale when they get older, but most
of the boys still think it would be
more fun being a. fireman.
