Naugatuck, June 3-Street depart ment employees will receive weeks vacation with pay here this summer, it was learned today from Warden John J. Sheridan. The move is be- ing made, he said, as this is now the policy of factories and is in keeping with trend of the times.
 The expense to the street depart ment will be no greater, MT. Sheri- dan explained, because nobody will be hired to fill the vacancy when member takes his vacation.
 This is the first time that work CTS of this department who are not salary men are to be given weeks pay on their vacation. It is believed prompted by the action of the U. S. Rubber Products, Inc, and other local factories in granting weeks vacation with pay to non-salaried employees who have been working for them year or more.

Vacancy Likely

It is probable the board will act on renewal of re-hiring of teachers today. It is believed there will be at least one vacancy in the high school teaching staff this year, but it is not known whether it will be filled today.
 The boards action in barring the press from sitting in on important discussions has met with consider able criticism on the part of the general public since the last meet ing. Although there are much more important matters discussed at a meetings of the broad of warden and burgesses, newspapermen are never barred. Many residents won der just why the board of education should feel itself in position to keep facts about the meeting from the public when no such attitude is taken by other governmental boards in the borough.

School Board Meets

The June meeting of the board of education is scheduled to be held this afternoon at the high school at 5 o'clock and an interesting session is expected.
 One of the chief decisions to be reached will be whether grammar school and high school graduations will be held in the open air at the Futile property on North Church street, or inside the Gem theater as they have been in the past.
 IT. Charles Kennedy suggested at the May meeting of the board that both be held outdoors in order that more persons could view the exercises. However there is the handicap of uncertainty because of weather conditions it being neces- sarg to hold the Gem theater in readiness, and there would be added expense if the affair is held out side, it being necessary to erect lights, a broadcaSting arrangement so that voices of speakers may be hesrd clearly, and secure seats.
 Decision on this was deferred at the May meeting until today in or der that the superintendent might make further investigation of the cost of arrangement. The grammar school graduation will be held on Thursday, June IT and the high school affair will be on June 18.
 r. is not known whether there will be another attempt to bar the press. At the May meeting news papermen were asked to leave the room so that then broad members might discuss in private who would be the chairman of the board. In previous years this had been dis cusSed openly.
