PLYMOUTH VOTERS WANT SNOW TRUCK
$5,7OO Appropriated at Special Meeting Called
 Illegal By H. Roberts

Terryville, Dec. 3 - The voters of Plymouth at a three hour special town meeting in the Town Hall Monday night. voted to purchase new truck for highway purposes and to appropriate $5,700 to buy the truck.
 Amos Lister was named chairman of the meeting and following the reading of the call, letter was pre- sented to the chairman by Louis Malley, chairman of the Board of Finance, which he received from At torney Howard Roberts of Thomas ton, in which MT. Roberts stated that the calling of the meeting was illegal due to the fact that no peti- ton or request had been made to the Board of Finance for approval or disaproval of the truck, as the wording of the bill which created the Board of Finance showed that any motion which calls for an ex- penditure of money must first be brought before the Board of Finance and that as this was not done, the calling of the meeting was illegal.
 A motion to table the petition was then presented, with Daniel P. Hur- ley calling for a-eheck list and bal lot vote which was taken with the motion being lost by vote of 190 to PA.
 Following this vote, the motion was again presented for the pur- pose of the truck, with Maurice Minor, stating that in his mind, 1t was now time for a bill to be in- troduced in the legislature to have the Board of Finance repealed and to have all questions brought before the townspeople for action, rather than before group of six men, which comprises Board of Finance.
 Selectman Eustice stated if the meeting voted to purchase truck, he will seek the opinion of the town attorney, Judge Malone of Bristol, as to whether MT. Roberts decision was correct or not before proceeding with the purchase of the new truck The motion to buy the truck was carried by vote of 213 to 97, or six more votes than were necessary to carry the motion.
 The reason that a two thirds vote was necessary was due to the fact that the board of finance had pre- viously turned down request for the purchase of new truck and when it was brought before town meeting, a two thirds vote is nec- essary to override the action of the Board of Finance.

Approval Required to Pare ticipate Outside SchOI-
 aStiC Activities

The Board of Education last night reserved the right to allow the high school band to participate in other than school activities and voted to send a copy of their resolu- tion to Cosmo Vendetti, pres ident of the Waterbury Musi- clans association, who had protested to the board about the band. The committee on school activities reported that after consideration of Vendet- ti's request to limit the band to scholastic activities, it recommend ed CD that the band be permitted to participate in all school activities and ~(2) that participation in any other activity shall be dependent upon the approval of the board.
 Followed Willkie Visit
 Vendetti's protest came upon the heels of Wendell L. Willkie's visit to Waterbury when the high school band provided music. The local musicians said that the band was engaging in unfair competition with professional musicians and listed other occasions when the students played at other than school affairs.
 The board accepted the resigna- ton of Margaret F. Began, teacher in Kingsbury school, and approved the following transfers of teachers:
 Helen R. Mcdonald, Kingsbury, grade 3 to grade 5, departmental;

OF North Cardinals
Famous Debutante Ball Given

other group of debutantes return
ed home with glowing accounts OF
the sincere hospitality which they
received during their formal en-
try INTO society. The club was de-
luged with suggestions a n d re-
quests OF girls who desired to par
tlclpate in the Debutante ball. The
overwhelming success which
greeted the annual fete caused
great anxiety on the part of the
members of the club unless the
affairs became too large to still
maintain distinction.
In 1885, the club made a third
important change in the ball. A
completely new system for giving
the ball was installed-one design
ed to give the debutante ball back
to the northumberland it was to be
an exclusive and elaborate affair.
Formerly, there was only one
dance, but now the Terpsichorean
club entertains the debutantes for
an entire weekend. This is the
general theme of the plan under
which the ball will be given this
year. The debutantes then-elves
give the ball with the financEl as
slstance and sponsorship of the
Terpsichorean club, each girl con-
trlbutlng a pro rata share toward
defraying the expenses of the ball.
In return she selects one chief
marshal and four assistant mar
shalls, none of whom is called upon
for any expense whatsoever. Ad-
mission to the dances is strictly in
vitational. The program begins
with a luncheon Friday, and the
young ladies are entertained CON
tinuously for two days. Besides
presenting the girls to society, the
Terpsichorean club attempts to in
troduce them to each other in such
a way that every year many en-
joyable and lasting friendships
are formed.
Under the plans now being form
ulated, Miss Olive Cruikshank,
chairman of the Debutante COM
mittee, and Albert P. Park, pres
ident of the Terpsichorean club,
have expressed their belief that
this Twentieth Annual Debutante
ball is going to be more elaborate
than those that have already taken
place, and will carry on the ira
dition which is being expanded
into a'masterpiece by the girls who
are participating in it.

Women Have Ideal
Figures For Chic Costumes
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Service Staff Writer

"No matter what your neighbors
and best friends r wearing, don't
ever be found in a dress that
doesn't do something for you, as
a person, and for your figure"
This advice comes from Ma
dame Lyolene, famous French
couturier who came to the United
States last fall and viii is de-
signing clothes in America these
days.
IT'S A MATTER
OF LEARNING TYPE
american girls and American
women who have kept themselves
reasonably slender have the most
beautiful figures in the world"
Madame Lyolene goes on. with
such good figures on which to drape
clothes, there is no reason why
American women should not be
the best-dressed in the world"
It's all a matter of knowing
what type of clothes brings out
your best points and conceals less
attractive ones, Madame Lyolene
points out. The nice-looking,
warm, friendly designer disap-
proves of the woman who insists
upon wearing an unbecoming
fashion just because that fashion
is very much in the news and is
being worn by most of her
friends.
Designers generally approve of
the woman who, having found a
flattering pattern, has half a
dozen dresses in various colors
pattern. But, even so, they think
and materials made from that
she may not be very imaginative
and should be willing to spend
more tine on her wardrobe.
HAIR EXPERTS APPROVE
BECOMING COIFFURES
It's true too, that the hair ex-
perts would like to have every
woman change her hair style at
least once every two years. But
they would rather have h e r
change the old couture slightly
now and then than to make a
radical change in favor of an I'm
becoming arrangement.
Good h~airdressers shuddered
when women with large, irregu-
lar features wore upswept colt
fures. They, like Madame Lyo-
lene and other great fashion de-
signers, honestly want us to wear
only the things that really make
us more attractive.
