Naugatuck, Aug. 22-Members of
the board of education may act
upon transferring or appointing
teachers to fill several vacancies in
the public school faculties at their
special meeting Thursday afternoon,
August 20, at the office OF Supt. of
Schools Harold E. Chittenden. This
session promises to be one of the
most important conducted by the
board in recent years. Chairman
Emil Mannweiler will preside.
BY carrying out its plan adopted
in July to close the Millville, Pond
Hill and Beebe street schools, the
board will make impossible for Supt.
Harold E. Chittenden to transfer
several teachers formerly assigned
to those buildings, to other schools
where vacancies exist. Several pub
lie school teachers married during
the current summer and still an
other is to wed late his month.
Speculation is rife among parents
Of young women who have been edu-
Gated for teaching positions in Maui
gatuck, but who have been unable
to secure appointments to teaching
posts, as to what action the edu-
Gators will pursue in settling the
controversy raging over the pro-
posed closing of the three grammar
schools. The school board is slated
to render its decision regarding
whether or not the protests of the
scores of petitioners opposed to
closing these buildings, are to be
needed and the boards vote to close
the schools rescinded.
Should the board alter its earlier
decision and decide to keep the
Pond Hill and Millville schools open,
appointments of new teachers may
be necessary to fill he vacancies.
The board has an unusual situation
to clear in regards the proposed
closing of the Millville school for
although nearly $50 signed petitions
opposing the plan and several
strongly attacked the plan at the
recent hearing of the educators,
numerous other Millville residents
are just as strongly opposed to the
re-opening of the school and favor
having heir children attend sessions
in downtown buildings. Those pro-
testing the closing OF the Pond Hill
school were united in this position,
none appearing who favored closing
the building.
Outer Goats Needed
Eaugatuckians, after suffering in
the recent torrid weather, have sud-
denly found fall weather prevailing
to such an extent that heavier
clothing and outer coats have be-
come necessities for comfort again.
Yesterday morning residents awoke
to discover the mercury had dropped
to AZ degrees, the lowest recorded
for that date in borough annals, in
an accurate recording made in
Straitsville and this morning found
the mercury lowering In the low
40s again. This morning the first
dense fog of the season yelled this
vicinity, slowing traffic.
Going to Fair
Scores of borough residents will
be among the 1,400 employees and
executives of the Bristol company
of Platts Mills, who will visit the
New York Worlds Fair next Sat-
urday. The outing is being spon-
sored by the Recorder Club of the
firm. Fair officials are designating
Saturday as Bristol Recorder Day at
the exposition.
Howard H. Bristol of this bor-
ough, company president, will lead
the large gathering to the fair.

today. Friends are urging
Mr.. Dunphy to announce his
candidacy, but he has thus far been
unwilling to commit himself.

Democrat for many years. He Is a
former president Of the Waterbury

member Of the state pharmacy
commission and has been promi-
