dent of the Connecticut Merit sys- tenn association.
 Progressive
 This attitude is diametrically op- posed to that of the protagonlsts of the new society who, terming themselves a progressive bloc, say that they oppose conservative trends" of the OAR. Mrs. Juha Church Kolar of Woodside, Queens, N. r., is an organizer Of the new movement and Miss Margaret Hat field of 220 West 5oth street, New York, is acting chairman of the or. ganizing committee.
 A statement from Mrs. Frederick Palmer Latimer of West Hartford, state regent of the OAR, was to the effect that none in the Connecticut society would be likely to join the new group. Membership qualifica- tions for the insurgents is de- scribed as the same as for the pres ent organization, proof of relation ship to patriots of the American Revolution, but a stand against al- legged social discrimination" is to be taken, according to the or- ganizers.
 Action Later
 State and local societies of the OAR are centrally controlled by the national organization, 1t wad explained here. which may mean that some action by national off, cers concerning the new movement will be felt locally when meetings resume this fall.

TEACHER AGAIN
 MEETS REBUFF
Isabelle HaIIin N Q [ Re- stored to Saugus High
 School Teaching Staff

saugus, Mass, July 22--(UP)-- Again rebuffed by theschool conn mittee, supporters of pretty Isabelle Hallin, 25, busted high school Eng fish teacher, today sought Q special town meeting.
 The committee last night voted, 3-2, against reinstatement of the blonde instructor and reaffirmed it's opposition to either Q private or public hearing on the question.
 Attorney Daniel Canning, coun- sel for Miss Hallin, said Q petition already was in circulation for c special town meeting, atwhich cesig- nations of the three school commits teemen who opposed Miss Hallin's reappointment for third term and tenure will be asked.
 A proposal also will be made, he said, that the legislature be pe- titioned to increase the size of the committee and thus perhaps per- init election of members favorable to Miss Hallin's reappointment
 Defense Committee
 A four-rnan defense committee appointed at mass meeting of sympathizers Friday night repre- sented Miss Hallin at last nights three-hour chamber session. It comprised Town Accountant Ed- ward Gibbs, Jr., former Commando CT Clarence Martin of the v. r. w. past, the Rev. Harold T. Handley of St. Johns Episcopal church, and President John Bucchiere of the Bristow Street Improvement asso- ciation.
 They were told by Miss Hallin's opponents, Miss Maria B. Smith, Ernest B. Russell and Harry F. Wentworth, that the committee's action was based solely on educa- tional grounds.
 Rumor had attributed their ops position to reports-called' "ridicu- lous" by Miss Hallin-that the teacher once served cocktails to pupils at dramatic club rehearsal at her home and that she wore risque clothes.

D. AR. Members In Waterbury Plan No Secession From National Group

Secession of present members of the Melicent Porter Chapter, D. A.. R., in Waterbury to join new and reportedly more "liberap group in process of formation in New York, was considered unlikely here to- day.
 Officers of the local D. A. R. ad- mitted that the matter had not been preached at a meeting inasmuch as there has been no regular meeting since June and will be none until October.
 Mrs. Lewis G. Merrill, of Pros- pect street, regent of the local chapter, said that she knew noth- ing about the new movement ex- cept what had appeared in the newspapers. There has been no official consideration of 1t, she said.
 Becoming Liberal
 Other officers said they failed to find reason for formation of a more liberal" group because, they said, the OAR has become increas- ingly "liberap during the last sev- eral years, dating from the time dissension caused charges to ne made by some members that so- called "black list" existed which barred numerous candidates.
 It was pointed out that speakers at the last national convention in- cluded such Liberals" as Charles P. Taft, son of the late President Will liam Howard Taft and nephew of Horace D. Taft of Watertown, presi-

CHASE PARK

Supervisors peered intently into the faces of Q large number of youngsters ct Chase playground this afternoon in an attempt to deter mine just which one of the contes- tants had the largest number of freckles. Up until 3 o'clock today no decision had been reached for there were many entrants in the contest whose freckled faces caused the judges to debate at length. First 1t would appear that one young boy hadit all "sewed up" and then the judges would discover another youngster whose freckles seemed to multiply as the contest went on. And 50 1t went today with super visors and contestants hopeful that e decision would be reached before nightfall.
 And while all this time was going on 0 group of young girls, most Of whom had no freckies but who were the proud possessors of dolls, were displaying their best ones" to an- other group of judges. No announce ments were made in regard to win- ners of this contest because 6 rather complicated situation developed when some of the entrants in this affair also discovered that they did have freckles and that there was no reason why they couldn't enter that contest too.

Cellar Stairs Need
Ratings, Head Room

Special consideration should be
given to cellar stairs. Too fire.
quently these steps are construct
ed in a careless manner, despite
the fact that they probably bear
more heavy loads than other
stairs in the house.
While cellar stairs need not be
as we'll finished as the main
stairs, they should be given as
much consideration as far as
safety and use are concerned. A
railing should be provided, and
there should be adequate head
room. The rise should not be
more than eight inches, and the
tread should be wide enough for
a foot to be set down firmly.

CHECKING up

In buying a home the heating
system should be carefully checked.
When a mortgage on existing
property is insured by the Federal
Housing Administration, the en-.
tire plumbing system is given care
full consideration before the inSur-
ance is written.
Serious damage to boilers is
often incurred during the summer
months, one of the principal causes
being corrosion which results from
the combination of moisture in the
cellar air and sulphur in the SCOT,
ash, and residue. This reduces a
boilers usefulness.
A thorough cleaning by a COM
petent heating contractor will pre-
vent this corrosion. Cleaning of
the boiler consists of the removal
OF SCOT, ash, and residue from all
heating surfaces and the removal
of clinkerS,. cinders, and ashes from
the firepot, CRATES and ashpit.
Broken or warped CRATES should
be repaired before fall to prevent
the waste of fuel. Partly burned
fuel NAV pass through 8 warped
CRATE and fall into the aShpit.
Outer surfaces of the boiler
should be cleaned, and the appli.
cation of a preservative paint to
parts normally painted is effective
in keeping the heating unit in good
condition during the summer
months.
PIPING
Whenever an automatic gas OF
electric domestic hot-Water heater
is used, it should be remembered
that all hot-Water plumbing lines
are a source of heat loss, an0 a
major one, because of the consid
cradle amount of pipe surface ex-
