Waterville, Nov. 9-Mrs. Elmer
Wilson, president of the Parent
Teacher association of Waterville,
presided at the monthly meeting OF
the association yesterday afternoon
in the gymnasium Of Sprague school.
Many items of Importance came up
for discussion, one of which was the
dessert bridge Thursday afternoon,
December 9th, in the gymnasium of
the school, when members of Girl
Scout troop No. Is will assist. The
affair will also be in the form of a
bazaar, when there will be food
sale, a table of needle work, and a
novelty table.
The association voted unanimously
to commend the board of education
for its stand against the Griffen
hagen recommendations for a re-
duced budget, in the education de-
partment.
1t was also decided to make con-
tribution of 50 to the Red Cross
drive which will be inaugurated
Armistice day.
Plans for the December meeting
were discussed. 1t will take place
Tuesday afternoon, December 18th.
At that time all, members are re-
quested to bring a ten cent article
for a grab bag. The subject to be
brought up at that time will be ac-
tivities in the home pertaining to
Christmas. including parties, gifts,
and the part children will play in
the duties and joys of the season.
The guest speaker yesterday after
noon was Miss Pauline Wolozin,
music instructor of Waterbury. Her
theme was Music Appreciation"
Miss SWolozin explained in full, that
music is a universal language and
that the best way to teach children
to like good music is to expose them
to familiar compositions and to let
them experience for themselves the
result of close Interpretation of
striking and interesting compost
tionS.
Music is interpreted as having

melody, rhythm and harmony, and
there is much debate as to which
came first. The Indian music, which
is very hard for modern composers
to interpret, greatly emphasized
rhythm, while the negroes have al
ways been known for their love OF
folk songs, the type of music which
tells a story of daily happenings of
the people. Harmony gives tone and
color to music, and Miss Wolozin
closed her informal discussion with
the thought that music IS available
to all, and a closer study of good
music, will greatly enrich persons
life.
Tea was served at the conclusion
of the meeting, with the assistance
of Mrs. N. j. Lorraine and Mrs.
John Byrnes. Members present yes
terday were Mrs. Alfred Kenney,
Mrs. Robert Watkins, Mrs. Raymond

She put the baby in its crib
pointing to the stuffed elephant
on the dresser, "Bill, the fool,
thinks that's just right for our
child. At the age of one, he will
probably present him with a Navy
bomber"
After Diane had told her all
about how marvelously Bill was

Judy.
"You, my dear, look peaked"
Slightly" Judy admitted.

Nothing"
"Listen, my girl, you're among
friends!"
But the words stuck in Judy's
throat. She couldn't tell her.
Tactfully, Dianne changed the sub
ject. She went on some more
about her precious Bill, and her
wonderful baby.
81 only hope they don't trans
fer him off to some iingodly place
where the climate will be bad for

baby, showing off in the good old

"They won't, I guess" Judy
said. Flyers stay put pretty much,
except for battle maneuvers."

across her face. "And then can
sit home and wonder what's hap
pening out there !"
Tt was Judy's turn to be tactful.
"How about that Guam salad?" let
me hold him. oh, goodness, he's so
little. Here, take him, I'm afraid
he'll break"
Diane lifted him casually and
expertly from her arms. "Just a
little damp, that's all. You'll get
used to it, when you have one of
your own"
Judy said, you're going to put
that funny square on him? I
thought they used 'em triangular"
you're behind the times, Tri-
angles are old-fashioned." But her
eyes were on Judy's face. Judy got
the oil in the little blue jar. I'm
glad to see you're using my gift, "
she said.
Without gifts, my son and heir
would be naked and cribless," said
Diane.
She kissed him on the top of
his fuzzy little head and put him
back in his bed. ION to the
Kitchen she said, picking up an
old cap of Bills which was on a
chair and putting it in the closet.
Judy said suddenly. as she sat
at the table while Diane reached
into the cupboard for can, II

Diane said, Shoot"

Hes the kind who ticks boots
and campaigns for promotions. Hes

Diane set her lips and said,
Hmm" But Judy knew that she

plying her. Diane had so much!
