Gold Star Mother THOMASTON MAY GET NEW SCHOOL
Representative CitrO o n Pushing Movement For
 Federal Grant

Washington, May 10-Representa- tive William M. Citron, at the re- quest of town officials, has been conferring with PWA authorities re- garding federal grants for proposed new high schools at Staffordd Springs and Thomaston, Conn, and additions to the Woodrow Wilson high school at Middletown, Conn.
 Congressman Citron personally interviewed Assistant PWA Admin- istrator Hackett and other officials today, who informed him that con- ditions were materially changed in the country with respect to these building projects, and that because of the improvement in economic conditions, the federal government had to limit itself to assisting the unemployed.
 Instead of the former rule of granting towns an outright 45 per cent of the cost of these projects, PWA has now established rule of granting an amount equal to the cost of labor taken from relief rolls, plus an additional IS per cent.
 In this connection, an interest ing problem has arisen in some of the towns of Connecticut. AS is Connecticut has a state law limiting the borrowing capacity of the towns. Some of the towns seek ing federal assistance have prac- tically reached their debt linlita-

bears charge was incredibly swift. A tremen-
dous blow on his tanks sent him sprawling,
nearly Lreaking his back, but he was up again
quickly and came at her in bristling fury; pile
driver legs and heavy hoofs thudded upon her
muscle padded chest until she shrilled in
greater anger, Tending off most of the blows
with peculiar boxing skill Again she gathered
herself for charge, determined on fighting at
close quarters.
But the bull elk knew when he was out
classed and he seized his momentary advantage
to escape. He pivoted on four feet and fled,
and while she pursued for short distance, it
was plain that she could not overtake him.
Quickly she came back to the cub, for he had
emerged from his hiding place.
She explored him carefully with her nose to
make certain that he was unhurt. When he had
been Quoted and fed she led him away from the
spot and began climbing the ridge.
Of sudden it seemed to her that this
land was too full of hazards for her cub, and
wisdom urged her to get away from it. As she
went on, a vague plan began to form. She would

the divide There was no assurance that she
would find security there. although it was
nearly inaccessible, tut at least she would be
away from the hillmen, who sometimes came to
her old range.
Instinctively she was obeying the ancient
urge of wilderness mothers - to hide away
their young until the latter are able to fend for
themselves For two hours, therefore, she held
her way toward the pass, which loomed beyond
the reach of her vision but which she knew was
there; she paused only when WEAKNESS over
came the cub and he needed food.
The spring day had been warm and kindly,
but as the pair climbed higher the air took on
sharp edge. They were about to plunge into
patch of stunted timber that was bordered by
an old rock slide when Itswoot stopped, lifted
her nose and shifted in dread suspicion. The
bristly ruff on her high shoulders raised in warn
ing and she rumbled displeasure.

Throughout the winter
the tall bull elk that reigned

fact that he had cast his

in late fall.
Yet the smell of bear was
familiar to him, and as he
caught scent of the baby
grizzly all his old fighting
instincts were aroused. If he
had seen Itswoot he would
have withdrawn discreetly,
but she was not in sight. He
did, however, see the cub
and his desire to kill all
bears came uppermost.
