Noted Pianist to Appear With
Pasquier Trio Thursday

out he took an examination as an
artillery specialist, an examination
ip which higher mathematics were
stressed and passed No. l. The
technical knowledge which he
learned he later applied to music
in developing methods for acquir-
ing piano technique, becoming
teacher and developing his theories
of conscious motion at the piano.
Although his extensive touring
leaves him only limited time now
for teaching, Schmitz has held mas
ter sessions in this country for IL
consecutive summers. The Schmitz
Council of Teachers is trained eX-
clusively by him.
Varied Career
The pianist has had varied and
interesting career, one of the high
lights of which was his long asso-
ciation as a young man, with the
famous composer, Claude Debussy
which is perhaps one of the reasons
for the beauty and authenticity OF
Schmitz's interpretations OF the
music of Debussy.
One OF Schmitz's most cherished
possessions is the first edition OF
the two books of Preludes, corrected
by DebuSsy.
Schmitzs acquaintanceship also
include that of the late Thomas
Alva Edison who was so interested
In the pianist's theories of tone
production that he insisted that
Schmitz work with him two weeks
in his laboratory.
Tickets for the concert which
will be given Thursday of this week
at 8:15 o'clock in the high school
auditorium, may be obtained from

To Check Constipation
Get at Its Cause!

If constipation has you down so
you feel heavy, tired and dopey,
it's time you did something about
it. And something more than just
taking a physic! You should get
at the cause of the trouble.
II you eat the super-refined
food most people eat, the chances
are the difficulty is simple-you
don't get enough "bulk." And
bulk" doesn't mean heavy food.
It's a kind of food that isn't con-
sumed in the body. but leaves a
soft bulky" mass in theintestines.
If this common form of con-
stipation is your trouble, eat
Kellogg's All-Bran for breakfast
every day and drink plenty of
water. All-Bran isn't a medicine
its a crunchy, toasted, nutri-
tiouS cereal. And it will help you
not only to get regular but to Keep
regular, day after day. Made by
Kellogg's in Battle Greek. Sold
by every grocer.

 A bill for direct primaixes in Wa terbury was rejected by the senate yesterday, after an unfavorable re- port had been received. The meas ure, sponsored by Senator George T.

 A statewide direct primaries bill is still under consideration here, but will probably not come up for action until the 1941 session. The proposal is in the hands of the election law revision commission.

HANDEL. GREEN
 RESIGNS POST
ThomastOn High Principal Uncertain About
 Future Plans

Thomaston, May 4. = Mandel M. Green, teaching principal and su- pervisor of athletics of the Thomas ton High school, announced his res- ignation last night from the school faculty. MT. Green would offer no reason for his action and stated his future plans were definite.
 News of the resignation, which was entirely unexpected, proved a decided shock as it rapidly spread about town early last evening. An effort to interview Harry Dickinson, chairman of the School Board, con- corning the matter proved futile since MT. Dickinson claimed the in- formation given him by the inter viewer regarding MT. Greens action was the first he had received from any source. He declared he had not received MT. Greens resignation and expressed much surprise and a reluctance to believe it had been rendered.
 MT. Dickinson spoke of MT. Green in the highest terms, describing him as an excellent teacher and one which the school could i'll afford to lose. Other members of the board expressed as much Ignorance and surprise in the matter as did the chairman.
 MT. Green, who came here in 1929 on' graduation from Harvard, has been rated high in his teaching ability here. He has been a tireless worker for the good of the school and his many friends sincerely hope, unless he has received more fav- orable offer elsewhere, that the local board will refuse to accept the resig- nation, which he states he rendered yesterday afternoon.
