while, parents of several Of the grammar school pupils have affixed their signatures to a petition in protest against shutting the young sters to locations described as being distance greater than what IS reasonable.
 The petition, circulated by Stail- ley Novitsky of l4O North Main street, was received yesterday at the offices of Superintendent of Schools, Dr. Thomas J. Condon, and is signed by about 30 of the parents. This number is small when compared with 230 grammar school studenta who will be affected by the transfer and 1t is believed that the Board of Education at a meeting on next Monday will not regard the situation too seriously.
 When talked with today, MT. No- vitsky informed the Democrat that his greatest concern was for his daughter, who is registered iIr the first grade at Croft-Clark school and who will be transferred to Driggs MT. NovitSky admitted that he has been granted several interviews with Dr. Condon during which time he was informed that the transfers would be made as announced at a recent meeting of the Board of Edu- cation. It was pointed out to MT Novitsky during these conferences that he resided only several feet from the original line of Driggs schools district and therefore would not be subject to any great change
 The complaining parent asserted today that his daughter, who is not entirely well, would have ten or fifteen minute walk to and from school each day while at present the walking distance requires about half this time.
 Dr. Condon stated that this case is similar to that of all other young sters in Croft-Clark school. He pointed cut that they will walk up Cooke street to Buckingham street and walk another block on Pine street to arrive at DriggS school. He indicated that this is strictly resi- dential territory, and the children will not be inconvenienced by heavy traffic.
 Under the present arrangement the safety of the youngsters is en- dangered in the central district which is due especially to the heavy traffic. The hazards are increased at dismissal time for lunch which occurs at a time when traffic IS heaviest.
 Some difficulty was encountered today in reaching MT. Novitsky who agitated the petition since he was not listed in the city directory. He admitted when found that he has been a resident of the city for less than 8 year. His daughter, who entered first grade this year, accord- ing to local school register, has not had kindergarten training, and was born in Worcester, Mass. MT. Mo- yitsky said that until the time Of his arrival in Waterbury, he has been a resident Of New York City,
