during the summer here milk Is dis
tributed to nder-nourished children
with the financial help of the Ro-
tary club and the schools used as
centers are Hop Brook, Central ave-
nue., Rubber avenue and Prospect
street. Janitors have helped In this
work in the summer in the past but
now wherever there Is a supervised
playground, the supervisor will be
expected to have charge Of this.
225 Expected
The maximum number that can
enter the high school next fall Is
245 with the probable number that
will enter being about 225, Mr.. Chit
tenden said, adding there Is a de-
crease in the number entering from
public schools as compared with
last year, but an increase In the
number going into high school from
parochial schools which makes the
figure about the same as last year.
A total of 181 are to be graduate
ed from the high school next week.
In addition there are 213 juniors,
267 sophenaores and 237 freshmen
and the total high school enroll
ment for next fall is no texpected
to exec DESC. Last fall 970 was the
maximum figure and 1t has de-
clined now to 903.
1t is probable 1875 will actually
enroll next fall and with about rs
Of these being placed in the futile
home, there would be $50 In the
high school building, or about 30
less than its maximum capacity.
During the school year shrlnkage
of from so to rs is anticipated so
1t may be down to 800 in the high
school building.
There are rs local boys attending
trade school now and none who
wished to 60 has been refused, Mr..
Chittenden said. No girls here APP
parently wish to 60 to trade school
and he sale. the fact that female
employment in this town Is good
is probably the reason for this.
Mr.. Austin said the board should
try to relieve congestion In rooms
at the high school. The expected
lower enrolment will particularly
help relieve congestion in the study
classes at the auditorium, 1t is
thought.

Playground Supervision.
The board empowered Supt. Chit
tenden to start partial resumption
of the supervised playground sum-
mer system by arranging for super
vision this summer at the Hop
Brook playground.
A committee from the Naugatuck
Woman,s club attended the board
session yesterday and urged that
the supervised playground plan,
stopped in 1888 when expenses were
slashed, be resumed. This commit
tee consisted of Mrs. Robert Ander-
son. president of the club, Mrs. Cliff
ford Teeple, Mrs. Fred Scott Como
yer and Mrs. John Sutherland.
A group from this club had dis
cussed the matter previously with
the superintendent, 1t was said. we
feel it is greatly necessary" Mrs
Anderson said, indicating the club
would be glad to lend Its moral sup
port.
The only summer playground &C.
tiyity with supervision here last
wear was the Recreation field work,
Mr.. Chittenden explained. He IN
dicated supervisors could be placed
at Hop Brook, Central avenue and
Salem, or at the futile place IN
preference to Salem. The board
finally decided to limit 1t to Hop
Brook for start. -,
The supervisors used to work III
weeks and were paid $25 each a
week. Some board members felt
that they could be secured at Wv
weekly now.
Mrs. Teeple said that even one
playground would be start ana Il
it could keep rs or 80 children OF
the street for even a couple OF hours
day, 1t would be well worth H.

Trained Teachers.
Mr.. Chittenden indicated 1t Is nee
essary to have trained instructors
and in this connection 1t was
brought out the work could not be
maze a VIA OF MA PioJcSo W
cause there are not persons on re-
lief qualified to handle this WORK
here. :,
Mr.. Chittenden indicated he would
not have difficulty In getting 9
trained instructor however. 1t was
stressed that the playground work
will be vocational, or group play
and that not much equipment Will
be needed. Mr.. Chittenden said
that swings in local Fairgrounds
have proved hazardous and expen-
sive.
It was pointed ont the school bud
get is figured very closely this year
but 1t was felt the money for this
supervision could be found.
When Fairgrounds were super
vised here, between rs and 100 chill
dren attended the Hop Brook plya-
ground daily, with Central avenue
next in attendance and Salem
school last, the superintendent said.
They operated five and half days
week. from Q a. m. to 5 p. m. on
a full day. !.

THE LAND OF THE FREE
Continued from Page y


On the pages of it's history
Can be read no line of wanton aggression
OF ruthless nvasion of piracy of pillage plunder.
American is not robber nation,
It scorns to play the bully the braggart.
It drops bombs hospitals cathedrals;
It does not murder babes and helpless women
Or butcher its citizens
On of race, political belief religious creed
At the behest of vilainous and maniac monster
Who befous Gods air with his loathsome presence
And desecrates all standards of honor and decency
With his british and helish crimes
America is a country for freemen not for slaves!
The typical American is a man, not a child
He reads, he listens, he thinks for himself
He talks things with his felow-citizens.
He makes his decisions
malevolent despot like Adolph Hitler
Would be impossible in free America
Tyrants thrive where Liberty is dead
Only slaves fools wallow like swine
Under dictators heel!
EEBMa:aHEHHEEE
The spirit of the hardy pioneer,
Of Rogers, Clark Boone and Davy Crockett
The spirit of Patrick Henry and Thomas jefferson,
Of Samuel Adams and Nathan Hale,
1t is not dead in free America.
America knows that eternal vigilance
Is the price of Liberty
America knows that nation must sometimes fight
To preserve its freedom
AS well as fight to win it.
The typical American appreciates the sacrifices
His forefathers made
Who gave their all
To gain the freedom he enjoys.
Democracy is not SOFT
1t is not decrepit decadent
Let the despots find this out for themseves
America knows that mad dog is loose on the earth
Seeking with ruthless might
To destroy individual liberty
And Christian civilization root and branch.
America knows that Hitler and his gang
Hate America and all the ideals that Americans cherish
America knows that the malignant hate
Now hurling its murdeous bombs
On Buckingham Palace and st. Paurs Cathedral
And making shambles of Engand's imperial city
Would wreak similar vengeance
On fair Capitol
If once it saw it's chance. 'f'
rs,aaHHazasaeasa
America girds herself for defense.
1t loves the arts and paths of peace
But stands now grim, resoute and defiant
To defend the ashes of it's fathers
And the temple of its gods
Against the forces of evil and destruction.
1t will match man for man, ship for ship,
Tank for tank plane for plane, bomb for bomb,
To preserve it's institutions and it's ways of life
From villainous manac's baleful might.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
America is country for freemen not for slaves
1t despises the carrion empire of Adolph Hitler
And the diabolic Nazi state
Which for long years
Has robbed its own people of their sustenance
To prepare instruments of death
To dominate and enslave peoples and nations
And change Gods earth to He'll.
America knows that if America is to be safe
America must first be strong
America girds herself for battle
For Americas defense.
America is awake,
America will be ready

"Ask the Professor

Friday night at 800 the combined

high auditorium.
Maryida, portrayed by Doris
Reidt, led her co-actors through a
series of escapades that left even
Forrest Potter, the dignified pro-
lessor, breathless. That excellent
comedy team, Ellen Stuhlreiter and
Norman Cormier, did exceptionally
well with their parts, and Magyar
Ronning as Red hero of the grid
iron, played his part very realistic
ally. Mary Cornell as EN-" gave
her usual sterling performance, and
Richard Neils gave his character
istic rendition of the minuet Lenore
Martin, as the big black crow, y
really stole the show with her col
league, Joan Manion, and Gerry
Burke was right in her glory moth

Edith Detjens as June, queen

very lovely queen, and the CHOIR

all ahelped to make this one of Lib

The operetta is the big event in

and the money taken in will be used
for trips that the choruses plan to
make during the spring.
