IN 1909 and in Massachusetts in 1929.
Only recently has it gotten away from

Why should the distorted be placed
before children, as in those Mother

correct and accepted forms which have
brought happiness to young children for
ages? Why inf1ict on them, in the name
OF art, such distortions?
Go into the cafeteria of the Roosevelt
High School and see the monstrosities
on the walls there. Few, if any, of the
pupils understand them, and the colors
are hideous nightmares. Then go into
room on the first floor of the same
school and note the mural border around
the room. Note how the works of Villa
Gather, Sinclair Lewis, Walt Whitman
and ONeil are misrepresented and dis
torted. These, too, are work of P. w. A.

DR.. Rutland is right. If murals are
to be put before children, they should
have truth as basis, not distortions,
Teachers try to teach children to see cor

impossible if the incorrect form is before

Another point which Commissioner
Allen has overlooked DR.. Rutland is
responsible for the work at Glenn Dale
His judgment is sufficiently good for
him to be trusted with an important and

 Information which IS said to be authentic has been released to the effect that the utilities commission will deny the conipany's application for the establishment of a new bus line, over a separate route from that now used by the trolley cars which face extinction here. Vigorous protest has been entered by the res. idents of the section against the company's application and they voiced their opinions at Q hearing in Hartford last Friday. With this in view 1t is quite surprising that the survey was conducted today by the commission.
 Attorneys, who took the ride this morning, are known to have expect- ed to be released within an hour after 1t started. One in particular was to have kept an engagement in Hartford. while another was forced to cancel an appointment in town, via hurried telephone call from somewhere in the wilds of Water- ville."

Unit Not Contemplating Purchase of Land For Auto Colony

No opposition to the establishment of trailer camp in Waterbury or in the immediate vicinity has been advanced by the local branch of the American Automobile association, according to c. Fred suhr, local manager. Furthermore MT. Suhr stated the association does not own or contemplate the purchase of land for this or other purposes locally. The AAA, he said, has been organ ized for road courtesy and for the assurance of legal support to the membership, when 1t is required.
 Many owners of trailers who pass through this section are members of the association, and in event a road camp were to be established locally through other sources, road tourists would receive every consideration outlined in their membership con- tract.
 It was runored several sites were under consideration, and that there was considerable objection raised This objection is said to have been circulated by property owners who do not wish to have camps estab- lished on or near their property.
