CITY CHARTER
 AFFIxES TIME
Teachers Eligible For Re- tirement Privileges After
 30 Years Service

Reports that a committee of the Waterbury Teachers association is making an investigation of the al- legged boost from 25 to 30 years as the required service before teacher is eligible for retirement, brought the opinion of Supt. of Schools Thomas J. Condon last night, that 30 years had always been the re- quirement.
 Local teachers are eligible for two pensions, one paid by the city after 30 years of service, and amounting to $500 annually. The other is from a state teachers retirement plan, to which local teachers have been forced to take part since 1917. They contribute 5 per cent of their earn- ings, and the state contributes a similar amount to the fund.
 All question of the retirement age Is settled by section of the city charter which states that teacher must serve 30 years before retire. ment.

TO properly cook herrings,
Il they should be soaked
we'll in sufficient water to
keep them covered over
night, or the equivalent IN
time. The soaked rolls may
be an innovation, but with
the onion they help in Civ
ing the right flavor and
consistency.
HERRING CROQUETTES AND
FRIED POTATOES
Soak five herrings over night
in plenty of water. Skin and
bone the herrings and put
through a food chopper with one
and one-half pounds of boiled
potatoes. Add two rolls soaked
in water and squeezed out dry
and two eggs and one grated
onion. Add one cup thick toma-
to puree. Form croquettes, dip
in flour, then in beaten egg and
roll in breadcrumbs. Fry IL deep
fat. Serve with fried potatoes.
BAKED HAM STEAK
Place one slice Zone inch
thick of smoked ham in shall
low baking pan. Sprinkle with
flour, mixed with a little pa
prika. Cover with milk and bake
in oven until tender. If the milk
cooks down add enough more
to keep the ham moist. A delici-
Gus gravy is made by the milk
and flour, already seasoned by
the flavor of the ham. GarniSh
with broiled bananas and pine
apple.

Recently he tried to kiss me
and wanted to pet" I knew,
when he asked for such things,
that he was merely carried away
by his emotions for the moment,
and realizing we would both re-
gret it later, I refused. Now he
started going out with other
girls, who are what you'd call
fast" Now 1 hardly ever see
him. L. B.
Let's look facts squarely in
the face, my dear girl. If you're
opposed to petting on principle,
you were only living up to your
ideals. AS he consoled himself
pretty quickly by joining a faster
crowd, was he really your kind,
and could you have had a salts

PERMITS PARTIES
Dear Miss Fairfax:

Dear Miss Fairfax:
I am II years Of age. and in
my last year at high school.
Some of my girl friends and I
have been having parties to
which we invite the boys and
girls of our clubs. The boys are
about 18 years of age, and all
are very gentlemanly. The girls
are about my age. e
My mother allows me to go to
these parties, because she knows
the families at whose houses !
am visiting, but she thinks I am
too young to go out with boys.
I would like to have your kind
opinion. Y. L.
Don't you think as long as
your mother consents to your
attending these high school par,
ties, where you meet the boys,
you might try to be satisfied
with that for the present? I get
so many letters from girls who
would be delighted if they had
that liberty. They are not even
permitted to go to parties, or
even speak to boys with whom
they are in school. They'd be
glad to change places with you.
Try and be patient, and later on
I'm sure your mother will not
object to your having dates"

Fashion
In

By Bah Lincoln

So many calls come into the
fashion office these days regard
ing materials and colors for the
coming season that a few words
on the subject may be timely
and welcome.
Observing the collections for
resort and cruise wear as they
appear in the local shops, it's evil
dent that vivid color is again
the outstanding note in printed
silks. whether for day or evening
wear.
DESIGNS ARE SMALLER
Silk prints featured by both
American and French houses
have tendency toward smaller
designs for daytime or all-over
patterns initiating lace or en-
broidery. Multicolor treatments
in a single flower or group Of
flowers give an exotic look to
many Of the new patterns, va
ried by emphasis of monotone
color-on-color effects either in
neat tailored patterns or stylized
florals and geometrics.
Combinations of reds from
crimson through fuchsia to deep
pink with various tones Of
purpliSh blue are favored. AS
a contrast there are occasional
pastel tones and water color
effects. Light grayish gre en-
that is being called Storm at
Sea" is one of the new pastel
ground colors. Yellow is max
ing a strong appearance as a
high style color, both for silk
grounds and motifs on a dark
ground, or as an accent with
other colorS. A whole range
of yellows is being used, with
the warm golden tones predom-
inant, particularly those of the
amber family. When they are
linked up with black, as they
invariably are, they are partic-
ularly effective.
Accents of cool gray in multi
color patterns serve to highlight
the wild tones, while gray with
white alone appears in many
patterns for both day and eve
ming. Combinations Of pigment
and lustrouS dyes in white and
colors are new.
