N A GATUCK
Correspondent: Wm. ,. Baxter-Phone Naugatuck 394s

Naugatuck, May 27.-The state highway department turned thumbs down on proposal that 1t cooperate in removal of a knolI on the Peter Paul company property on New Ha- ven load, in connection with the work of laying 8 sidewalk there.
 Warden John J. Sheridan con- ferred Wednesday with Deputy Com missioner Welden of the highway department in Hartford and was in- formed the state is not" interested in sidewalks. The waroen had been ordered by the board of warden and burgesses to see what the state would do in this connection.
 The continuation of the New Ha- ven road walk has been delayed because of dispute over who should remove the knoll. The warden at meeting of the board several months ago said he did not feel the town should bear the expense and indicated he felt the candy company should do it as the knoll is on their land and the sidewalk will benefit their employees.
 T A4C 1CCCk 1duA HI AAlA 10 WhAA16 tO contribute to the cost of a walk in front of their factory but does not feel it should assume the cost of re- moving the knoll.
 When the conference with the state highway department officials was ordered, the warden said he did not think the state would be willing to act in the matter. The warden was informed the state does not plan any work this year as far as widening the road in that section is concerned.
 Just what action will be taken now remains to be seen. The walk has been extended a considerable distance, but cannot be continued until provision for the knoll re- moval is made. The board didn't approve suggestion the walk be laid as far as the knoll and then started again beyond the knoll. It was felt this section where there worald be no walk is one of the most dangerous spots in the road.

Play We'll Presented

With all the actors attaining that high standard of performance that has featured plays presented by the Naugatuck high school seniors in past years, the annual show present ed last night entertained and held the interest of an appreciative audi ence. The comedy, "Helena's Boys. was given at the Gem theater and will be offered again this evening at 8 o'clock.
 The play. although amusing, poked fun at certain parts of so- called modernity and indicated that
 perhaps with many youths up-to- date sophistication is only thin veneer which cloaks the same regard for good character and such which their elders held.
 The play revolves around the ef- forts of Helena Tilden, a widow. to wed Gordon Truesdale. her middle aged sweetheart. To do this Helena has to overcome the opposition of her too, too modern sons. Henry and Beansey Tilden. Eventually by pretending to adopt some of their modern" ideas. she makes them realize the falsity of these notions and agree to the marriage.
 Gene Martin turns in an excellent performance as Helena and Norton Kazanjian ably fills the part of Gordon. One of the features is the splendid character acting of Arthur Oemcke as Beansey. Harry Rolf as Henry Tilden, William Thurston as Richard Girard. friend of Beansey and Henry, Marion Hoadley as Pam Raymond and Madelyn Carlson as Gloria Travis, all contribute to the general excellence of the play. Har- old Lewis as MT. Parr, and Bertha Johnson as Libby, also are well cast.
