NO CHANGES IN
 SCHOOL LINES
Children of OrOnoke Dis- trict to Be Transferred
 if School Closes

The board of education yesterday denied the petition of residents of the Oronoke school district who sought an alteration of district lines to draw children from the present Russell school district to Oronoke school. In the recent economy re- port of Grifenhagen & Associates, It was recommended that Oronoke school be closed, and the eight pu- pills be transferred to other schools
 Acting on recommendations of the committee on rules, to which the petition of the Oronoke residents was referred for study, the board yesterday denied the petition and also recommended that in the event the Oronoke school is closed, that children nov attending Oronoke be permitted to attend either Russell or Bunker Hill school, according to their own wishes . #
 One teacher comprises the faculty of Oronoke school.
 The report of the committee on rules, which the board accepted an6 made an order, is as follows:
 The committee on rules has carefully considered the petition presented by residents of the Or- Oronoke section, calling for re- districting of school lines so as to include in the Oronoke district certain families and streets of the Russell district which were part Of the former Park road district. The number of children in Oronoke school at the present time is eight distributed through four grades; all taught by one teacher. To secure best results for the chil- dren, 1t is desirable that there be a fairly large number of children of the same age and grade under 8 single teacher This situation is found at Russell school. To make 3 change. as requested, would de- prive children now in Russell of the varied activities carried on in each grade. gtoup. The committee feels that the interests, acaden1- ically and socially, of children in the Russell district may best be developed and conserved if the district lines remain unchanged. It is therefore recommended that if the board votes to close the oroTaoke school the parents of chil- dfeh now attending Or0noke school be permitted to attend either Russell or Bunker Hill school, according to their own wishes" W.

Publicity Exhibit Prompts Questions Concerning State

Publicity from an educational display at the Hartford automo- bile show, the state of Connecti- cut publicity commission, sponsors of the project, announced this week that Connecticut residents are more actively interested than ever before in the resources and trends of the state.
 According to advices from the commission, more than 5000 peo- pie paused at the publicity ex- hibit to gather information per- taining to the recreational, in dustrial and commercial facilities of Connecticut.
 Nearly three-QuarterS of the visi- tors at the booth were Connecti- cut residents, coming from prac- tically every city, town and vil- lage in the state. The other one quarter hailed from neighboring states and points as distant as Texas and California.
 Represented among the other states were, New York, New Jer- sey, North Carolina, Maryland, New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Mississippi, Arkansas, Illinois, Michigan, Florida, Utah, Rhode Island, Vermont, Maine and Ten neSse.
 The development resulting from the exhibit which is considered es- pecially important by the commis- sion, was the apparent enthusiasm with which the project was re- ceived by the visitors.
 During the seven days of the show, people of the state were constantly stopping of at the ex- hibit to make inquiries dealing with 8 wide range of subjects from hunting and fishing to high way routes, historical shrines and business facts.
 For most purposes the commis- sion had on hand at the booth a file of literature which was dis tributed without charge, but there were as many as 200 instances where the questions required some research and an answer through the mall. ~

lowing statement in connection with the unique mass meeting:
 The whole world of the present day stands in need of strong re- minderS of essential spiritual val- ues, and of stirring recall to their study and support.
 All men are moved inevitably by some compelling royalties, royalties to certain ideas, certain interests, certain traditional patterns of ac- tio1, certain outstanding leaders. :,
 Modern life has largely subSti- tuted lesser royalties and objectives, such as sensory thrills, materialistic gain, personal power for selfish ends, in place of the greater ideals of fundamental righteousness, love of truth, and devotion to the serv- ice of God and men.
 s Many Led Astray
 The various types of contempor- ary organization and activity, in the spheres of science, education, fi- nance, politics, recreation, have not only failed to establish in individual lives and social trends those inner spiritual values and motivations that are the expression of Gods will but have led many astray along paths of confusion and futility.
 All our current perplexities and tumults, the cynicism of the young, the despair of the old, the strife of nation against nation, group against group, are evidences of the same fundamental lack of spiritual vision and moral fiber.
 The dissolution of the worlds perplexities, either immediate or ultimate, must be and is dependent upon 8 re-discoyery of the living springs of personal power as they are fed by Divine Grace.
 The religious forces of the day have within the scope of their com mon ideals and agreements, re- sources of power sufficient to im- press and condition the thought and life of this generation.
 In our representative capacity on behalf of the religious forces in this community, we owe it to each other and to all our fellows, to try to ar- ticulate more clearly and make known more widely, the common basis of all religious thought, namely, a recognition o, the Fath- erhood of God, in whom we live and have our being, and under whose divine guidance alone men may achieve their highest destiny.
 Faith In God
 In the light of these expressions of earnest conviction, we seek the cooperation of the entire comnu. nity of Hartford, in the planning of 8 great gathering at the beginning of the New Yeaf, by which we may publicly declare our faith in God and our love for man, and with a united gesture, dedicate ourselves afresh to a more vital spiritual life, evidenced in our daily conduct, So that in all our relationships, social, economic, or political, we may fur ther the realization and fulfiilment of Gods gracious will for us His children.

they are as good as human opposition
for the reason that they are stationary
and timing-that all-important ele-
ment in line play-cannot be de-
veloped.
Skins Pass Defense Weak.
In these days of aerial attacks 9
team must perfect its passing defense
Ours wasn't perfect in Chicago for
two reasons. One was that expert
enced backs like Irwin and Justice
weren't able to play at all and Baugh
only a little. Considering the fact
that these men helped us establish
the best pass defense record in the
National League last year and that
the All-Stars scored two touchdowns
on passes, one of the reasons for our
defeat is obvious.
The second reason our pass defense
wasn't as good as usual was that many
OF the new players had been taught
to play the opposing receiver instead
Of the ball. If our players had played
the ball instead Of the men in Chicago
they would have intercepted several
passes instead of rendering them only
incomplete.
Ends also should be impressed with
the importance of checking the de-
fensive end before going down the
field under their kick-offs and punts.
One Of our kicks was blocked for that
very reason that a new end allowed his
opponent to break through.
