and four drivers which had been sent to their aid last. Friday,
 Their arrival at the mining camp base in Tulsequah at 9:30 Sunday night, ended, a week of privation and isolation for the party which was marooned when five place Waco wheel equipped plane piloted by Les Cook came to a forced land ing in the rough section between Atlin and Tulsequah on a passenger flight for. Northern Airways, last Monday morning.
 Rescue efforts from the air were forestalled by unfavorable weather conditions and boggy landing fields. Lon Cope, Marine AairWays pilot, succeeded in removing two of the men last Wednesday but left at the scene M. L. Gray and Martin Feist who accompanied him on the mercy flight.
 Additional aid was in the air yeS- terday when Alex Holden in a Mar the Airways pontoon ship took off from Juneau with food to be dropped if necessary but found the maroon CTS. dog teaming on the trail. Ac- eompanying Holden on the last flight were Lu LiSton, Don Hard wick. and Orville Porter.
 Temperatures at Tulsequah were dropping today indicating that the field may be sufficiently frozen te permit Lon Cope take-off in the morning. If this is possible the res cued party will be returned to Ju- neau on the same day. l
 Evidently the five men who were removed from the mishap scene, Piloi Les Cook, his passengers, Fred Gra- ham, and a man named Landry and M. L. Red) Grey and Martin Feist had spent the week holins out in trapper's cabin near ths scene and according to reports re ceived here are none the worse fol their experiences

 ?. legal action by organized labor ana snecial committees working in Mooney's hehalf kept the arguments alive through op' the wears. In 1881, after two governors had turned down pardon pleas, Mayor Walker of New York sped across the country to plead for Mooney before Gov ernor Rolph. Walker posed like this with Mooney's mother, who died in 1884, and was snapped with Mooney, with Coy ernor Rolph, and with most eyerybody else connected with the case. But after Governor Rolph's legal aides had studied the case for five months they reported against the pardon and It was oenleo.

'ORAL READING
 FEATURED HERE
Recent School Reports Emphasize Need of
 Early Instructions

One of the allegations of Con- missioner Emma c. Lowell, of the board of education, is that sup posed deficiency in English among local high school students and graduates is caused by insufficient oral reading in the grades. Con- missioner Lowell recommends tha: more oral reading be taught in the grades.
 In Annual Report
 A few months ago, in the annual report to the board of education Superintendent of Schools Thomas J. Condon wrote:
 "1n all educational circles, i'm provement in the teaching of read ing is recognized as a major prob- lem. So serious is 1t that in the high schools of some large cities, teachers are employed to achieve higher standards in this most basic of all subjects. Failure in reading leads to failure in other studies. Ability to read fuently and under standingly will go far toward reduc- ing retardation in all divisions of the curriculum. For this reason, a committee of principals and teach CTS, headed by Miss Anna Skehan has been engaged in the prepara- ton of @ new Course of Study in Reading" After a year of study and research, the work is now com plete."
 The booklet was presented to the board members at meeting of the board. Entitled, Course of Study, Reading" 1t Is 139 pages in length and bound in green. It is assumed that the individual members of the board read 1t through. However, the suspicion cannot be suppressed that Commissioner Lowell Is clamoring for an investigation of a field that has already been investigated, and in which constructive measures have been adopted.
 Oral Reading
 In the same report of the superin- tendent to the board of education, which, 1t Is also assumed. was read through by all the members, Miss Alice M. Walsh, supervisor Of prim- ary grades, presents a lengthy sum- mary of work in the field of oral reading. Miss Walsh says in part:
 '"'There has been perceptibly steady improvement in reading in the first three grades for the past two years and I believe that teach CTS have come to understand the different objectives in reading and are intelligently working toward them. By giving the slower read CTS material they are able to handle and increasing the load grad ually, which necessitates more and smaller reading groups in class some of our reading problems arc being solved"
 Miss Walsh gives results of expert. ments on grammar school children with various tests, including thu Monroe Reading Aptitude test ant the Detroit Intelligence test. Hel summary, on the whole, is objective and by no means colored by ar over abundance of "schoo spirit. Her findings are neither enthusiastic nor pessimistic, and are ample proof of the conscientious work of teach- CTS n this field.

FLOOD CONTROL
 HEARING WEARS
War Department Engi- neers to Conduct Farley
 Here Tuesday

Engineers of the U. s. War De- partment will be in charge of a hearing here next Tuesday on flood control along. the Naugatuck and Housatonic rivers. The hearing will be held at the aldermanic cham bers in the City Hall. and invitations have been sent to property owners, civic organizations and community groups in western and southwestern Connecticut.
 On the result of the hearing will depend the City of Waterburys pro- gram for control of the Naugatuck river. Planning to take an active part in the hearing are property owners along Bank and Riverside streets, who have long sought aid from the city to prevent seasonal flood damages to their homes and businesses.
 Action on any city-sponsored flood control project has been held up pending a decision by the war de- partment on what program it will follow. The war department program is officially limited to flood control along the Housatonic, but the Naug- atuck is being included as an im- portant tributary.
 The board of public works had planned to hold public hearings last month for the purpose of establish ing water lines, but postponed the hearing when informed that one was planned by the war department.
 Government engineers have made soundings all along the Housatonic and the Naugatuck and have care- fully inspected dams and the areas along the river fronts. The hearing has been assigned to Waterbury because 1t Is approximately in the center of the area involved.

Mayor Hayes Expected to Call Special Meeting to Obtain Official Authorization to Super
 wise All Games, Licenses Required

meeting of the board is not sched- uled to be held until August 2.
 The new law provides that the governing body of any city or town in the state can allow the playing of bingo after receipt of petition bearing the names of five per cent of the registered voters of the com- munity. Previous to today, the names of 1900 petitioners had been sub- mitted, and the names today brought the total safely above the required minimum.
 Names of the signers are being checked for validity, but this task will probably be completed early next week, leaving the way free for the aldermen to vote in favor of the game.
 Police Superintendent William J. Roach, under the law, will be in control of bingo in Waterbury. Li- censes for the game will be issued from his office, and his department will have full supervision over play ing of the game.
 ..... Sponsorship
 Bingo can be played only under the sponsorship of civic, religious, veterans or fraternal groups, granges, or volunteer fire depart ments. Cash prizes are forbidden, and merchandise awarded on any one day of play cannot exceed $25O in value.
 Permits will be issued by the police on single-day or annual basis. The number of games is limited, and accounts of all receipts and prizes must be kept by the sponsors, to be available for police inspection at any time.
