Martha listened for the click of the trailer door, then showed the car into gear. "He may not have much money or baggage" she told Betty. but he packs a lot of nerve around with him. When he got into the road I had half a mind to drive of and leave him standing there"
 T think he's nice, after all," said Betty. Why would you want to do that?"
 That isn't our trailer. We have no right to let him in there."
 Betty shrugged. "He's harmless And anyhow its better to have him in there where he's safe."

EDUCATORS MEET
 AGAIN THURSDAY
Financial Department Re. port for Nine Months
 to Be Given

Naugatuck, Jan. 5-The January meeting of the board of educat ton will be held Thursday afternoon at o'clock at the high school. and is expected to be an interesting one. At the meeting, the financial report of the school departmnt for the nine month: of the fiscal year end- ing Dec. 3l will be given. The school department seems to be again this year the pivotal group as far as the borough administrators finances go.
 It seems likely that if the depart ment can keep within its budget, there will be surplus for the en- tire administration at the end of the year. And if there is a deficit this year. 1t is believed likely 1t will be because the school dpart- ment did not stay within it's bud- get.
 It is believed Superintendent Har- old E. Chittendeh will report on the result of his conference with Chief of Police John Adamsof1 and War den John J. Sheridan concerning providing more adequate safety pro- visions for loc laschool children.
 At the December session. the board urged that signs be placed near the sochools and the superin- tendent was asked to confer with the local officials.
 Reports of the school nurse, Miss Elizabeth Weary, of the dental hy- gienist, Miss Helen King, of the night school supervisor, Mrs. Ger trude Madigan, and of Truant Of- ficer Peter J. Foley will be ready for the meeting.

Produce Market Furnished by Connecticut Department of Agriculture
 B. P. Storrs. local agent.)

Eggs and potatoes continued the most active items on the list of fresh perishable products as this week opened. Egg prices were gradually working down to lower levels, while potato prices were advancing, but not as gradually. Other items on the list remained largely unchanged as compared with early last week. The potato market today was un- settled. Local wholesalers were not sure just where the latest advance had carried the price level. Most of them this morning were holding No. Green Moutains for $2.90 to $500 a sack of 100 pounds. Bushels were quoted at $l.65 to $l.75, not quite as high as the 100 pound packages. At the same time 1t was reported that Maine shippers and Connecticut growers with native potatoes to sell were asking almost as much as these prices, which would mean that when the present stocks are re- placed the local price to retailers will be forced to higher levels than today's quotations. It was predicted that by the end of the week that local wholesalers will be getting $3.l0 to $3.25 per sack of 100 pounds, If the present higher carlot market holds, or advances further.
 The egg price situation was weaker following reports of liberal supplies and declining prices from most trading centers late last week Newlaid Fancy grade egg prices were reduced two cents a dozen the middle of last week by the Connec- ticut Poultry Producers association who supply retailers of the state with majority of the eggs of this grade. The new quotation on the large size of this grade was lowered to 37 cents a dozen, the medium size being left unchanged at 34 cents.
 The following quotations are based on cash sales of first grade native products to retailers at the whole salers' stores or farmers market, ex- cept as otherwise noted:
